Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Earnings Beats & Bottom-Plays

Bottom-Bouncer Watchlist

Each of the following stocks qualifies as a bottom-bouncer, a couple of which are just coming off freshly-set annual lows. They’ll be reserved a place on our radar as the week comes to a close:

Organovo Holdings, Inc. ONVO – In recent weeks this stock has been under consolidation, and yesterday it found a new 52-week low of 3.99 before rebounding into the close in the low 4.40’s. This morning ONVO is gapping up into the 4.60’s. We’ll have our eyes on this stock, likely over the next few sessions as it attempts to recover off of its annual low.

Neuralstem, Inc. CUR – Following some ill-received news on its ALS drug currently under study yesterday, CUR absolutely fell off a cliff. It’s gapping up in the premarket, so we’re anxious to follow it today. Stocks that get blasted on knee-jerk reaction to news can often see a rapid recovery, so our interest is high in this case.

Endeavor Silver Corp. EXK – This stock is also coming off of a new 52-week low that it recorded on Wednesday. It managed to make higher highs and higher lows during yesterday’s session, and we’ll look for it to continue that trend moving forward.

Earnings Beat Watchlist – Options Ideas

The next pair of companies each had an earnings beat, and are both gapping up over 10% in premarket action this morning. What we’ll do is monitor for dip-and-rip scenarios, and take advantage of In-the-money Calls on the rebound:

El Pollo Loco Holdings, Inc.  LOCO – For this one, we want to radar Weekly $25-26.50 Calls for possible day-trading opportunities.

Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance, Inc. ULTA – Here we’ll be observing the action in Weekly $154-155.50 Calls

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FCGD Update & More

First Columbia Gold Corp. FCGD

We wanted to take an opportunity this morning to update our subscribers on the recent activity of FCGD. In the weeks since we published our initial report on October 30th, the stock has provided us with a couple of quality swing trade opportunities.

The first came the week before last, as the stock traded in a range from .075-.095, a gain of 26% After pulling back to find support at .07 this past Tuesday, FCGD made another push, reaching as high as .11 on Friday. That added another 57% swing, and brought our cumulative total of possible gains on FCGD over the course of just a couple of weeks to 73%

The good news is, the chart is still looking as if it’s gearing up for the next run, as we pointed out below:

Also, don’t forget, First Columbia is involved in an expanding oil & gas project in Kentucky, and is actually pulling resources from the ground. Their current ten-well program was nearly halfway to completion as of the latest PR update from FCGD, so we’re going to be waiting intently for further information regarding the project.

Another good way to establish a clear picture of the company’s progress and operations would be to listen to the exclusive interview we conducted with FCGD CEO Jason Castenir via our sister site, Stock Traders Talk. >>> CEO INTERVIEW

Solar3D, Inc. SLTD

We also want to make mention of SLTD; the stock came down to a low of .18 on Friday and immediately began to recover ground, so this is one we’ll enter into the log as a possible bottom-bouncer.

Provided it can hold support at or above the current 50DMA at .19, we’ll have it on watch to possibly continue to rebound as we begin a new trading week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Great Way to Start the Week

Yesterday’s Winners

We’re happy to report that two of the mentions from yesterday’s premarket newsletter yielded prime-time opportunities for our members. 

Alpha Pro Tech Ltd. APT

APT made a nice move for the second straight session; we called this one on Friday, and saw a low of 5.72 at that time. Toward the end of the day, as it did on Friday, the stock began to ramp up and set a new high for us, touching 10.47. That marks a two-day overall gain of 83% so cheer to whomever has been following along with us on this one.

Nanosphere, Inc. NSPH

NSPH was our other wildly-successful pick from yesterday, and like the aforementioned play, it too saw the bulk of its daily gain come in the latter portion of the session. The stock rose from a morning low of .70, and pushed its way to a high of 1.27 in the late afternoon.

That was good for an intraday gain of up to 81%, so cheers go out to all those who took advantage!

Options Trading – PBR

We want to touch base with our most recent options trading idea, the PBR November $16 Calls. With PBR showing some movement to the upside yesterday we did observe some positive momentum in those contracts.

We originally caught them at a low of 2.26 and they were able to reach a high of 2.63 yesterday, a 16% increase. Albeit a modest move, there is still plenty of time before expiration, so we won’t let these slip off of radar just yet.

Versar, Inc. VSR

We want to quickly put VSR on our radars today. Last week the company announced a couple of lucrative contracts, and the stock made some pretty heavy swings during yesterday’s session. It had gapped up big in the morning, and came all the way back to the 2.70’s in the afternoon before catapulting back to the 3.60 just prior to the close of the session.

We’ll be interested to monitor a play with this kind of volatility as we head into mid-week. A sharp eye could help us to catch any further opportunities that might present themselves.
