Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PSID, KNDI, PBR & Extended Watchlist

PositiveID Corp. PSID

The first thing we’d like to do this morning is go over how well PSID performed yesterday following our pre-market alert. Our timing proved to be spot-on in calling the bottom on this play, and after putting it on high alert in our report, we were rewarded with a couple of chances to gain over the course of the session.

The stock ran hard out of the starting gate, with trading opening up at .043 and rapidly reaching the day’s high at .064, a spike of 48% That was followed by a pullback to .049 where we got another upswing, this time to .058, a modest yet respectable intraday move of 18%

Those two significant swings combined for cumulative total gains of 66% on the day, and the stock managed to close at .057, holding on to much of the day’s forward progress. This all occurred on roughly 6x PSID’s 3-month average volume.

Congrats to anyone who was able to make PSID work for them, and be sure to stay tuned, as a performance like that could lead to a strong finish to the week.


Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. KNDI

This is a stock that we’ve been tracking for over a year now, as a quick look at KNDI’s archive on our blog will reveal. Our most recent tag of this stock came via Monday morning’s extended watchlist, and over the course of the week, it has yielded quite a nice move; We saw a low of 15.76 on Monday, and by yesterday’s session we observed a high of 20.96, an intraweek gain of 33%

Those who may have picked up on this play following our next most recent alert of this play (June 12th ) could have caught a low of 12.30. Yesterday’s high marked a 70% move up from that level.


Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

Our regulars are aware of how tenaciously we’ve covered PBR this year. On March 21st we added it to our watchlist as it was coming off of 10-year lows. Our observed low that day was 11.25, and the stock never looked back. We’ve traded primarily in the options chain of PBR and have made percentage gains in the thousands over the course of several months, but even the overall action on the stock itself has been impressive.

Yesterday’s session set a new high of 16.43 and in premarket trading today that has been pushed to more than $17, from the low we saw this spring, that’s an overall move of over 50% on the chart.

However, the swing action on this play over the past few months has been terrific, as we’ve pointed out on the following chart. As you can see, after our initial alert, there have been no less than three major swings. The current positioning breaks PBR out of the channel we illustrate below, signaling potential for further moves to the upside.

As far as the options chain is concerned, we’ll be looking for a pullback from profit taking on this major spike, and after that, we’re interested in the potential of the $16.50 and $17.00 Weekly Calls for an intraday flip opportunity today.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: The Week in Review

Looking Back on a Stellar Week

We couldn’t have asked for a better week of winning picks, especially coming off of a holiday weekend, so to wrap things up we’re going to go over all of our successful picks, and what kinds of moves they made.

GEI Global Energy Corp. GEIG

Of course the big winner for this week was GEIG, and in fact was one of our most successful picks in quite some time. We initiated coverage of GEIG on Wednesday, the stock opened up and saw a low of .0098 very briefly before exploding to a high of .08, a single-session move of 716% While it’s unlikely that traders could have picked up any of those sub-penny shares, the real action began around .015, still leaving the opportunity at a high number, with gains of up to 433% being very possible. The stock traded record volume.

Camtek, Ltd. CAMT

CAMT came off of Monday’s extended watchlist to perform exceptionally well for us, running from a low of 3.42 to 5.14, a solid 50% gainer on more than 40x its 3-month average volume.

GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

On Tuesday, we were talking about GWPH, stating: “Once we see a solid level of support established and GWPH begins to rebound, then we’ll be able to adjust our options-trading strategies accordingly.” Sure enough, the stock did indeed find solid support at 85.32. We would subsequently see an uptrend carry GWPH as high as 93.97. As a result, the $85 Weekly Calls traded in an impressive range from 4.30 to 9.60, a total possible gain of 123% while the $90 Calls made an even more impressive move. They would run from 1.55-5.69, giving traders a chance at profits up to 267% We’ll continue to watch those weekly contracts today for a possible intraday flip opportunity.

American Apparel, Inc. APP

This spring, we started reminding people that as the retail season approaches, APP is a stock that we traditionally play for nice gains every year. 2014 has proven no different. We saw a low of .51
out of APP on June 24th, and the stock has made more than a 100% move up, touching 1.05 during yesterday’s session. The retail season has yet to even kick into gear, and already we’ve been able to reap some excellent rewards from this retail stock; it will certainly remain on our watchlist as the summer begins to wind down.

Inception Mining, Inc. IMII

We first added IMII to our lists yesterday as a long term-mining play. We wanted the stock to hold support off of the 200DMA, and break resistance at the 50DMA, and that’s just what we got. The stock has made higher lows and higher highs over the past couple of sessions, so it appears we’re off to a great start with this one. On the chart, the RSI cracked above the 50-line, and the MACD is still heading for a bullish cross, so we’re still very interested to see what this play could do in the days and weeks ahead.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AUMN, MEET & Options Calls

MeetMe, Inc. MEET
&
Golden Minerals Corp. AUMN

Both MEET and AUMN were winners off of yesterday’s extended watchlist, with each stock making nice intraday runs that traders could have used to their advantage.

AUMN’s move was the larger of the two, with the stock trading up from its early morning low of .72, and reaching as high as 1.00 before lunchtime. That made gains of up to 39% possible for anyone riding the wave.

We may want to keep AUMN on our radars for a longer period of time, as the PR which catalyzed yesterday’s move up contains some intriguing information. We’re going to be interested to follow along with that storyline. We suggest you read the full text of the announcement by clicking the link in the except below.

GOLDEN, Colo., Jun 18, 2014 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) — Golden Minerals Company (“Golden Minerals” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: AUMN) (TSX: AUM) today announced plans for a July 2014 restart of mining at its Velardena Properties located in Durango state, Mexico. Once mining and processing are ramped up to approximately 285 tonnes per day (tpd) of sulfide ore in mid-2015, the Company expects output of approximately 1.0 to 1.2 million silver equivalent ounces per annum (including silver and gold but excluding lead and zinc), with cash costs between $12 and $15 per silver ounce net of by-product credits. >> FULL PR

_____

MEET’s intraday run was a bit more modest coming in at 19% as the stock ran from 2.06-2.45, but the opportunity was still present. The spike came on high volume, and the stock held the majority of those gains into the close, so we may want to keep tracking this one as well.


Tracking Our Options Calls

We’ve had so much success with options this week, that the chances are too many to list! As of yesterday premarket, our total possible percentage gains had already pushed well into the thousands, and that figure only increased throughout the session. Each of the three primary chains we’ve been playing this week executed classic dip-and-rip scenarios, and virtually every set of Calls we’ve been watching made sizable moves.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

3D Systems, Inc. DDD

GW Pharmaceuticals, Inc. GWPH

From the One Week charts below, you can see just how significant the swings have been in the Calls on each of these plays.

We want to continue monitoring these charts regardless of which way they appear to trend, as every pullback we’ve seen thus far has provided us with chance to play the dip-and-rip. With the Fed’s stance on tapering and not raising interest rates anytime soon, it could continue to feed what has been an absolutely historic bull market.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Another PBR Update & More

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A (Petrobras) PBR – Options

Petrobras continues to be one of our main conduits to making large gains. We were able to carve out another chunk of profits on Friday as the stock hit a new high for us, traversing its way up the chart to peak at 15.92. Considering we picked up on this play in the low $11-range shortly following its 10-year lows back in March, we’d call its performance since then nothing short of amazing.

Of course, our real bread and butter here has been the options chain. Last week was yet another victory for anyone playing the Call side, with every contract we were watching making some nice strides.

In particular, the 07/19 $15 Calls that we’ve been tracking for weeks now have done beautifully, hitting a new high on Friday at 1.25. From the 25-cent low we observed in the week prior, that marks a walloping 400% move!

As we’ve stated before, we will continue to stick with monitoring PBR for as long as it continues to serve us up ripe opportunities for profit.

BARCHART.COM is presently issuing PBR a 96% Overall “Buy Rating”



Intuitive Surgical, Inc. ISRG

ISRG comes back to us this morning as a play that we inserted into our running watchlist back at the beginning of May. On the 6th, we mentioned that the stock could provide us with “potential gains over the next several weeks,” and while it took awhile for things to get moving, that statement still stands.

One of our points of focus was on the ISRG chart were a pair of gap-downs that had transpired in recent weeks, and we’ll still be looking for a break of that first gap to get things started. Presently we’re looking at the Weekly $385-395 Calls for intraday flip opportunities, but if it appears we’re moving to fill the gap, we may need to roll our strike price up.

Provided ISRG does fill in the gap on the chart from roughly $400-415, over the longer-term we could find ourselves looking at The Aug.-Oct. $420-440 Calls.


Solar Wind Energy tower, Inc. SWET

We put SWET on our radar on Friday, and will continue to monitor the stock over the course of the week. The chart is exhibiting signs of ripening, and looks to still be right on the verge of potentially making a nice move, so we want to keep a sharp eye on the activity here as we kick off a new trading week.

The company released some news this morning about a cash infusion they’ve received, and we’re also going to look out for potential updates concerning SWET’s presenting at the NIBA (National Investment Banking Association) conference tomorrow (Tue. 17th).

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CNAT, Options Ideas & Extended Watchlist

Conatus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CNAT

CNAT is a stock that we first discovered as an FDA play back in early December, when one of the company’s treatments had been granted orphan drug status.  At the time, the stock was trading at less than $5 a share, and by January, we saw a huge run that took it over $14.

It brought a few other swings in the following months, but had fallen to the back burner for quite some time as it consolidated. Yesterday it set off our alarms once again, springing back to life and running hard on heavy volume, so once again CNAT has our full attention.

After reaching as high as 9.90 during yesterday’s session, we’ll be on the lookout for possible dip-and-rip opportunities. We’d like to see support hold in the 8-8.50 range moving forward and if it can do that, chances to score quick strike gains on the bounce could be present.


Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options

The PBR options chain has been a veritable cash cow for us this year as many of you already know, and we’ll continue to talk about it for as long as it continues to work in our favor. Yesterday was no letdown, as

All of the Call contracts that we’ve been monitoring ($14-15 Weekly Calls and the 07/19 $15 Calls) have been rocking, providing us with several shots at alarmingly high returns.

If PBR breaks over this morning’s pre-market high of 15.90, we may look to roll our strike price up to $16 (Possibly the 07/03 $16’s which closed @ .36 yesterday) and with how far the latest trend has taken us, we wouldn’t be too surprised to see that happen.

Extra Options Idea: Molson Coors Brewing Co. TAP

The TAP October $75 Calls showed an abnormal amount of trading activity yesterday, causing us to raise an eyebrow. Just for good measure, we’re going to throw those contracts up on our radar and monitor the situation.
