Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Pharma Watchlist & More

Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. LXRX

We’re taking notice of LXRX this morning in the wake of a premarket PR that has the stock trending up to its highest levels of the past three months; it contained updates on current projects as well as increased earnings. The addition of an interesting setup on the chart gives us good reason to place LXRX on watch this mid-week.

As you can see on the snapshot below, the stock gapped down significantly at the end of November. In premarket activity today we’re seeing a partial fill taking place. We’re going to be watching for LXRX to fill the remainder of the gap into the mid 1.20’s where its next area of resistance will come in at the 200DMA of 1.28.

Abercrombie & Fitch ANF fell short of expectations with regard to sales, which is fueling a downtrend here in the premarket, so we’ll take the opposite approach here, and keep an eye on ANF Weekly $23-24 Puts.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CACH, PLUG & More

CACHE, Inc. CACH

Continuing the pattern of tracking bottom-plays that we’ve established this week, we have another potential play to add to the mix this morning with CACH.

We noticed this one on our premarket scanner this morning, and after glancing at the chart we can see potential for a possible dead-cat bounce. The stock has recently been beaten back to a new 52-week low at .22, and is rebounding back to the mid-.30’s in this morning’s premarket trading. We’ll have an eye on it for at least the remainder of the week.

Today’s Press:

CACHÉ, Inc. (CACH), a national multi- channel specialty retailer of women’s apparel and accessories, today announced that the Company has received an inquiry from a third party regarding a potential sale of the Company >> Full PR

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

Our long-time subscribers will certainly recall our monstrously-successful interactions with PLUG in the past, but for those who are newer to our reports, a quick refresh- we tagged plug initially back on February 28th, 2013 at a price of .135, and over a 13-month period followed it all the way to a high of 11.72 (this March); an eye-popping increase totaling 8,581%

Currently, PLUG is trading near the $4-mark in this morning’s premarket, and there is a gap on the chart from roughly 4.50-5.00. If the stock can break its 50DMA at 4.36 on the strength of a significant PR this morning, we could see a gap-fill.

On the whole, the stock is trading at a relative bottom, and with a number of factors looking favorable (including this morning’s announcement of a contract worth upwards of $20M), we like the chances of seeing some opportunities come our way.

The severe beating currently being administered to the fossil fuel markets makes now as good a time as any to look at alternative energy plays like this one, as well as others we’ve previously tracked within the sector, such as BDLP and FCEL.

LATHAM, N.Y. and SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plug Power Inc. (PLUG), a leader in providing clean, reliable energy solutions, today announced that it has executed a multi-year contract for its ReliOn integrated fuel cell solution and GenFuel hydrogen services to be used with a major North American telecommunications provider. >> Full PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Potential Bottom Play & More

Yesterday’s Top Picks

Wednesday was a pretty good day for a couple plays off of our watchlist; top billing goes to an ETF rather than a stock.

We tagged JNUG (gold miner’s bull index) and were pleased at the scope of the run we witnessed. Over an impressive daily range from 8.43 to 12.35, it offered us the chance at gains in excess of 46%

Meanwhile, UNIS registered a solid 25% intraday move as it spiked from a morning low of 2.78 on up to 3.49. Both plays blew their 3-month average trading volume out of the water for the day.

First Liberty Power Corp. FLPC

We also want to flag FLPC today for a number of different reasons. This subpenny stock is coming off of a recent bottom, and has recorded higher lows and higher highs for the last 4 consecutive sessions. Yesterday it broke above its 50DMA (.002), and we’re going to be looking for support to hold at or above that mark in order for us to remain interested.

A quick view of the chart reveals some of the potential of FLPC:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRL, PLUG Earnings & More

Doral Financial Corp. DRL

Following yesterday morning’s mention of DRL and the opportunities it has sent our way over the past couple of months, the stock once again provided for us. This time, it came in the form of a classic dip-and-rip, making its way down to an early-morning low of 6.80 before spending the rest of the session on the rise. We saw shares changing hands at 7.68 just prior to the close, a modest yet solid intraday move of 13%

Estimates have DRL’s earnings release pegged for the end of next week, so it should be interesting to see how this play fares over the next handful of trading days.

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR Update

PBR has fallen into a consolidation pattern over the past couple of sessions, and we are monitoring the chart for signs of a bottom. The stock crept below 15.50, its lowest price in a month.

We’d like to see PBR get back above the 50DMA of 15.68, but in the meantime, we’ll  need to see support hold above the 14.50-mark. Once we observe the telltale signs of another turnaround, we’ll be able to re-form our options trading strategies.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG– Earnings Released

Our regular readers are well familiar with PLUG, a stock that has graced our reports dozens of times over the years, which we tracked over a mind-numbing range, .135-11.72, from early 2013 to March of this year. This morning will be a good time to turn our attention back to this hall-of-famer.

We want to keep an eye on PLUG in the wake of its earnings release early this morning. The stock is presently gapping up on the strength of record revenues, and looks to be gearing up for an interesting session. We’ve taken an excerpt from the PR, and provided a link to the full release below:

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2014 was $17.3 million, comprised of $12.6 million of product revenue, $4.4 million of service revenue and $0.3 million of research and development (R&D) contract revenue. This compares to total revenue of $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2013, which was comprised of $5.6 million of product revenue, $1.5 million of service revenue and $0.4 million of R&D contract revenue.

The Company shipped 687 units during the second quarter of 2014 compared to 246 units in the second quarter of 2013. >>> FULL RELEASE

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: XUII and PLUG Updates

Xumanii International Holdings Corp. XUII

XUII continued to run following the afternoon update we sent out yesterday, achieving a new high of day just prior to the close at .0026, marking a full 100% move in just a single day. The stock closed just one tick below at .0025, and ended up trading 744M shares, well over 10x the 3-month average volume going into the session.

Moving forward, we’ll be keeping a close eye on XUII, which will need to maintain support at or above .0018 in the worst case scenario to hold our interest.  That would be our theoretical stop-loss point, and as you can see on the included chart, the next major area of resistance doesn’t crop up until .0033.

Based on the momentum into yesterday’s close, we may be looking at a gap up from XUII first thing this morning. Ideally we’d like to see the 50DMA of .0024 hold as support.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

Reigning as one of our most successful picks of all time, PLUG has appeared in our reports more than 40 times since we first caught it at .135, near all-time lows on February 28th, 2013. We tracked this play from those levels all the way up to an astonishing high of 11.72 roughly a year later, so PLUG will always hold a special place in our trading hall of fame, and never really get taken off of our watchlist.

We want to bring PLUG back to the forefront of the conversation again this morning, on the heels of a PR that just hit the wires, regarding a big purchase order from the world’s largest retailer. The stock is gearing up for a gap-up in pre-market trading, so we’ll want to keep a sharp eye on this one. This is the kind of press that can lead to rapid short-term gains.

ATHAM, N.Y., July 29, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plug Power Inc. (PLUG) today confirms the company has received a follow-on GenKey purchase order from Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. to add an additional, seventh, GenKey site to the original six-site contract it announced in February 2014. This additional site in Sterling, IL consists of 286 GenDrive fuel cell units and is planned to deploy in the third quarter of 2014. >> FULL PR
