ARIA, CAMT, MACK, ECPN & Extended Watchlist

ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  ARIA

Lately, our scans have  certainly been yielding some profitable plays, and after appearing both in Friday’s extended watchlist and yesterday morning’s report, ARIA claimed its place as the next big winner to add to that list. As we approach Thursday’s holiday hiatus, we are expecting market activity to taper as people begin to travel to their holiday destinations and generally prepare for upcoming festivities. We may decide to suspend Wednesday’s newsletter, barring some unforeseen development that may need relaying.

But for now, let’s talk about the big day ARIA had for us yesterday. After opening at 4.06, the stock came back to a low of 3.92  before running up to close at 5.13. The Northerly movement continued post-market, and the stock is gapping up this morning, so we don’t want to let ARIA slip from our radars now. Remember, this stock was trading as high as the 17.00-range as recently as last month, so it still may have some ground to recover.

So far, from Friday’s low of 3.30, the bounce on ARIA has afforded us the opportunity to make up to 55% profit (at yesterday’s closing price) and we suspect that figure could continue to grow today.


Camtek Ltd.  CAMT

CAMT came off of yesterday’s extended watchlist after it had been gapping up in premarket trading, and continued to roll throughout the day. We witnessed a move from 4.11 to a high of 5.29 on 58x the 3mo. average volume, qualifying this as a serious momentum play.

It appears CAMT will gap up once again (currently trading above 6.00) so we have our eyes peeled for continued upward activity today.


Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MACK

On November 8th, MACK appeared in our daily report, at which time we mentioned a “big gap on the chart between the 3.00-3.40 level” that would bring us excessive gains if filled. We went on to mention the key point to watch for was a break of the 3.00 mark, and we did in fact witness that event this past Friday.

The move we were watching for did come to fruition, and the party may not be over yet; the stock is currently trading in the 3.50-range, so we will be very interested to see what happens today. We’d like to see MACK hold support at the 50DMA of 3.26 in order for it to have a good chance to pile on some added gains.


El Capitan Precious Metals, Inc. ECPN

ECPN hit our scanners today as a stock coming off of a recent consolidation that followed a big run on the chart. In early October it ran off of its 52-wk low (.055) and would subsequently hit .41 (Nov 13th) before pulling back to find support at .1142 last Thursday. Since that time it has been logging higher lows and higher highs, so we’d like to see a continuation of that trend which could make ECPN fall under the category of a solid recovery play.

ICLD, PGCX, FREE & Extended Watchlist

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD


ICLD appeared in Friday morning’s extended watchlist, and by the time we sent out an afternoon update, had already impressed with a 97% gain from 4.41 to 8.67. The stock’s continued momentum would carry it even further, reaching a daily high of 10.35, a total possible gain of 135% off of the morning low. All that on nearly 58X the 3mo. average volume.

It appears as if further gains will be added to that figure today, with the stock gapping up into the 13.00-range this morning.

The catalyst for this monstrous move from ICLD appears to be extremely improved 3rd quarter figures over the same period last year. Announced on Thursday, highlights include a revenue increase of nearly 450% and gross profits nearly 5x that of the previous year. >>> Read 3rd Quarter Results


Virtual Sourcing, Inc. PGCX

PGCX, a stock that provided us with an intraday gain of 26% on Friday, bouncing to a high of .1225, closed one tick under that mark at .1224. We still have our eye PGCX today as the company has announced the completion of an important step along the way to a planned exchange uplisting. The full press release is included below:

WASHINGTON, DC, Nov 18, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — Virtual Sourcing, Inc. (OTC Pink: PGCX) has received an increase to $25 million in acquisition financing in preparation for additional acquisitions currently being reviewed. Our capital formation agreement for acquisitions and operational funding remains at $25 million bringing our current total engagement package to $50,000,000.

We are expecting to close the initial acquisition in mid-December. Our auditors are continuing to work diligently with the expectation of releasing the audit report near the end of the first week of December 2013 allowing us to close the transaction shortly thereafter.

Discussions have been held on the need to increase the capital formation package. These discussions indicate that it is likely the capital formation engagement would be increased to at least sufficient funds to complete the second acquisition in Spring 2014. The requirement to close the second acquisition would cause the capital formation package to rise to approximately $75 million meeting our total funding needs of $100,000,000 to complete both acquisitions plus supply funding for product expansion and operations.

We are developing an initiative to reach institutional investors and the brokerage community. The initiative will have a full launch in January 2014 with site visits to several locations. This project is the next primary step to raising our share prices to the sustainable level required to meet the qualifications for acceptance to the AMEX/NYSE stock exchange.


FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

Beginning on September 10th, FREE began a monumental 320% run for us, going from a low of .2213 all the way up to .9287. In the weeks that have followed the stock has been searching out support, finally finding its bottom just below .30.

On Friday, the stock closed near the high of day, and this morning we are seeing a slight gap-up, so we now have FREE on rebound-watch. Regaining even a fraction of September highs would mean significant gains from current levels.
