Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR Update, New Bottom-Plays

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR
–
Our regular readers are already extremely familiar with PBR, as it has been a topic of heavy discussion since first introducing it on Mar. 21st.  At the time, the stock was just coming off of its all-time low (03/17 @ 10.20), and following our initial mention, was trading at 11.25.

The chart we included in that report showed the gap that is currently being filled, now that the stock has broken into the 14.40’s in premarket trading. That leaves a clear path for this stock to break over $15 as it continues to fill the gap.

We were particularly interested in the May $12 Calls from the very start, which were at .31 at the time, and are now approaching 3.00 just as we suggested they might.

The $13 and $13.50 weekly calls we liked for short-term opportunities yesterday morning have done well too, with the $13’s trading in a range from 80-1.40 (+75%) and the $13.50’s spanned from .33-.90, gaining as much as 173%  We also have been alerting the June $14 calls which are up over 150% since we first introduced them to our readers in the .40 range. They reached 1.08 yesterday.

Given the current conditions, we may be looking at rolling our strike price up to the $14.50 Calls for further short-term opportunities.

All in all, PBR has behaved very predictably in its recovery thus far, providing us with chances to profit at every turn. Even where the stock is concerned, a position taken at our observed low of 11.25 on March 21st, is worth roughly 25-30% more at this morning’s premarket highs in the 14.40’s, and we expect that figure to grow.

More Potential Bottom-Plays

PBR has certainly shown us the value of a good bottom-play, and we have a couple of other candidates that fit that bill to add to the radar today:

NewLead Holdings Ltd. NEWL

As you can see from the following snapshot of the NEWL chart, this stock has been on a fairly steady decline since early this year. As it is gapping up in premarket trading this morning, there is a chance that the bounce could be taking place right here, so we’ll want to watch carefully. At present, NEWL is heavily oversold.

Formcap Corp. FRMC

FRMC is coming off of its own recent lows, and has made higher lows over the past three sessions. While it is not gapping up early on today like NEWL, we’ll still want to keep an eye peeled, as a return to recent levels for this play would mean significant gains from here.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates on FRTD, TTDZ & More

Fortitude Group, Inc. FRTD
–
As we embark on another week of trading action, we need to first post an update on the continued success of one of our recent picks, FRTD.

We brought our readers a prime opportunity with this cannabis play when we put it on our radar the morning of February 25th. That day, the stock would see a low of .0081 and it has been one heck of a ride ever since.

This is one marijuana-related stock that has actual substance, affirmed by a recent distribution agreement the company struck with herb vaporizer manufacturer ‘VaporVites’, that could see Fortitude processing orders from up to 80 Colorado marijuana dispensaries within the next quarter.

That mid-week news helped fan the flames that would push FRTD to a new high on Friday, as it touched .0784. That marked a whopping 868% from the low we observed roughly five weeks ago.

Triton Distribution Systems, Inc. TTDZ

TTDZ is yet another pot stock that we put on watch when it was trading sub-penny, and as a result of the investment community’s rising level of interest in everything cannabis, has burst through the penny barrier to achieve impressive new highs.

From a low of .0012 on 01/30, we’ve tracked TTDZ all the way to it’s new four-cent high on Friday; an overall increase of 3233% TTDZ has become a prime example of our continued interest in the sector.

While it’s true that the fevered hype that we saw at the beginning of 2014 surrounding the marijuana sector has normalized quite a bit, it is still one of the most high-potential market spaces. We are only just witnessing the beginnings of extreme change in this arena. It has already spread far beyond Colorado, with the Obama administration gradually softening its position on pot.

Atty. General Eric Holder, at a recent appropriations committee hearing, even said: “We’d be more than glad to work with Congress if there is a desire to look at and reexamine how the drug is scheduled”

We’ve already reaped vast rewards off of this fledgling space, with total gains numbering in the tens of thousands over the past few months, and we don’t predict an end to it any time soon, so be sure to stay with us!

Hemp, Inc. HEMP

HEMP, another of our favorite cannabis plays (Followed it from subpenny up to .34 earlier this year) came with dividend news this morning that we wanted to pass along:

Options Trading Side Note:

We’ve been tracking PBR heavily for the options trading chances it has provided us. Currently we’re radaring the May $12 Calls and the June $14 calls for longer-term trades, and are sticking with the $13 and $13.50 weekly calls for more rapid flip opportunities.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates on LWSP, TTDZ & PBR

Legacy Platinum Group, Inc. LWSP
–
We’d like to update everyone on the status of one of this week’s successful picks. We first brought LWSP to our readers on Tuesdaymorning, at which time the stock opened up at .187.LWSP spent the next two sessions on the upswing, culminating in yesterday’s push to  a new high of .33. That marks a three-day overall increase of 76%

Moving forward, we’ll need to see support hold at or above .21 in order for us to remain interested in LWSP.

Remember, per Tuesday’s PR, we’re waiting for an upcoming name and symbol change, expected to begin on May 16th.  We’ll also be on the lookout for further updates from the company on its new direction in the e-cigarette and portable vaporizer market.

Triton Distribution Systems, Inc. TTDZ

For some of our newer readers, allow us to do a quick recap of how TTDZ has become one of 2014’s superstar picks for us. Beginning with our first alert on the stock on January 30th, we observed a low of .0012. and it has been pushing its upper boundaries ever since.

By the time mid-March rolled around, the stock had punched above .015, gaining well over 1200% from our first call, but the party was just getting started.

Flash forward to the present, and TTDZ has pressed its way all the way to an impressive high of .0385. Which means that in less than two months, we’ve seen a total increase of 3108% out of TTDZ.

This is another play that recently transitioned into the cannabis sector that has applied for a name and symbol change, and we expect to have an update on that within the next few weeks.

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR

After picking up on PBR exactly two weeks ago today, we’ve seen some impressive trading action in that short time, especially with regard to the options chain.

Besides coming across this stock shortly after it hit all-time lows, and witnessing the start of one heck of a recovery, we also received news this week of PBR’s boosted production numbers from February, which were significantly higher than those of previous months.

Today we’ll be looking at the $13 and $13.50 Weekly Calls for possible intraday flip-opportunities. For those without the ability to stay glued to your screens all day, for longer-term possibilities, we’ve noted our interest in the May $12 Calls and the April $14 Calls.

In the event that PBR fails to hold support at or above the 13-dollar mark, we would have to reassess our opinions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Midday Update – 04/02/14

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options

We first brought PBR to our watchlist on March 21st, a few days after the stock had hit its all-time lows (03/17 @ 10.20). We recognized the recovery off of that bottom as a prime opportunity to take advantage of the options chain.

We’re extremely pleased at the subsequent performance that PBR has registered. Since our initial alerts, we’ve seen a steady rebound from PBR culminating in today’s high of 13.95 (+37% from our observed low).

It has allowed us to see substantial gains, as the May $12 Calls that have held our interest from the very start have come from a low of .31, to today’s high of 1.90. That’s an impressive move of 513% in the span of just seven sessions.

The June $14 Calls that we added to our radar on Monday have gone up from .41 to .71, representing a 73% increase.

Intraday opportunities today included a nice move from the $13 Weekly Calls trading in a range from .31 to .92. If the stock can breach $14, we may want to go with the $14 Weeklies for further flip opportunities heading into Friday.

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options

We were pleased with the potential for quick intraday gains provided by the PBR options chain on Friday. Our thoughts on moving up our strike price turned out to be warranted, as the $12.50 and $13 Weekly Calls we mentioned both did well on the day.In fact that $13’s actually made a heck on an intraday rip from .04 to more than .20.

We’re still optimistic that PBR stock can continue to recover (after recently hitting all-time lows) and even test the 14.50-15.70 range, filling its gap on the chart. The next major resistance hurdle appears to be the  200DMA at 13.88.

As for the contracts holding our attention moving forward, we’re still looking at the May $12 Calls (which we’ve already followed from a low of .31 to Fridays high of 1.10, +255%) and also considering the June $14 Calls which closed at .47 on Friday.

Positive ID Corp. PSID

PSID is garnering our attention once again this morning. This was a winner for us when we re-alerted it back on Feb. 18th.  If you recall, the stock was trading at a low of .0572 at the time, and we’d follow it all the way up to a subsequent  high of .125. It then came back to find support off of the 200DMA in the mid-.06 range.

We observed a Golden Cross on the chart last week, a signal we are always looking out for, and an 8-K filed this morning only adds to our interest as we kick off another trading week.

It is in regard to a lucrative purchase order that the company has received from UTC Aerospace Systems, which will service the US Dept. of Defense contract for the JUPITR program (Joint United States Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition):
On March 28, 2014 PositiveID Corporation (the “Company” or “PositiveID”) entered into an agreement, in the form of a purchase order, from UTC Aerospace Systems (“UTAS”) to support a contract for the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”). This agreement is expected to be performed over the next seven months, between March and September, 2014. The terms of this fixed price agreement include a total value of $841,000 to PositiveID, paid in monthly installments over the next seven months.

This agreement will support the DoD Joint United States Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition (“JUPITR”) Program, which is intended to detect biological threats in order to protect our nation’s warfighters and allies. The JUPITR program will test and evaluate PositiveID’s biological detection and identification technology called M-BAND (Microfluidic Bioagent Autonomous Networked Detector). The assessment will baseline performance, reliability, maintainability, ease of use, and cost of operation to provide the “best of breed” and most affordable options for the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force.

A copy of the agreement will be filed as an Exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The description of certain terms of the agreement set forth herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the provisions of that agreement.

Surna, Inc. SRNA

On Friday we added SRNA to our marijuana related watchlist, and were glad to have done so. We learned that SRNA’s new CEO is a former co-founder of Zynga, and the news was well received.

The stock shot out of the gate, rather quickly ballooning from its opening price of 2.99 up to 5.50 (+84%).

We also learned that in addition to a group of new directors, Surna entered into an agreement which effectively gained the company 14 intellectual property patents related to indoor climate control systems for cannabis growing in states where it is legal.
