Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Month-Long Runners

Geron Corp. GERN

It was just on Tuesday morning that we did a review of the performance of GERN, a stock we had initially tagged on February 5th. It had made considerable progress over a six week period, and after a fantastic session yesterday, the stock once again shot to new highs.

It ran all the way to an even 5.00, which from the 2.025 low we observed in early February, marks an increase of 147% This week has brought the highest volume, and now the highest PPS since 2015 for GERN. With the stock well into Blue Skies, we’re be interested to continue following its activity.


DURECT Corp. DRRX

Speaking of stocks on our radar that have enjoyed longer-term success, we want to talk about DRRX again this morning. We’ve been tracking this stock since mid-December (12/14), and in two separate runs here in 2018, we’ve seen it make fantastic progress.

We also included DRRX once again at the beginning of this month, and yet again on Tuesday of this week as the stock has continued to push its way further and further upward. This month alone it has risen from 1.2338 to a new high of 2.20, a gain of 78%

Subsequent to our original alert, DRRX registered a low of .875, and from there, yesterday’s high measures as a 151% increase.



NII Holdings, Inc. NIHD

In yet another month-long gainer, we have NIHD. We signaled out interest in tracking this play back on the last day of February and it has been steadily ramping its way up all month long.

We’ve witnessed a run from a low of 1.115, to yesterday’s new high of 2.28, marking a   104% intra-month move.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GERN Recap & More

Geron Corp. GERN – Recap
It’s all well and good to seek out stocks that are set to make a big jump overnight, but slower growth plays also interest us greatly. GERN is an example of a stock that we tagged near the beginning of last month (02.05) which has performed well over an extended period of several weeks.

Subsequent to our tag of GERN, the stock saw a low of 2.025, and in a series of small, incremental daily gains, it steadily made its way up to a high of 4.47 yesterday, representing an increase of 121%. That’s a very respectable gain in roughly a six week period.


Wheeler Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc. WHLR

We want to take this opportunity to place WHLR on watch as a potential bottom-play. The stock has been greatly abused over the past several months, falling well below all its moving averages, and reaching egregiously oversold territory. There is also a fairly large gap on chart to the upside, something for which we routinely look.

We’ll keep an eye on WHLR in sessions to come looking for the confirmation of a bounce. It certainly has plenty of room to run when that occurs, so keep a sharp eye out.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: QSIM, USRM Updates & More

U.S. Stem Cell, Inc. USRM

We tagged USRM in our report on Monday for the first time in quite awhile, and reported back to our readers yesterday morning on the excellent 72% push it made from .014-.0241. We also mentioned the strength of its close and increased volume, noting that we’d want to continue keeping a close eye on the stock.

Yesterday’s session provided a prime example of why we doubled down on USRM for the second day in a row, with the stock streaking to an impressive new high. It traded up from it low of .0245 and smashed through the nickel barrier, reaching .0545 for a hefty intraday gain of 122%

From our observed low on Monday, the move represented an overall two-day upswing of 289%


QuantumSphere, Inc. QSIM

We noticed some heightened activity in QSIM in yesterday morning’s premarket scan, and included the stock in our extended watchlist for the day. It was a good thing that we did, because the stock put up an awesome performance, continuously ramping its way up the chart for essentially the entire session.

From its early low of .0043, QSIM was shot out of a cannon and reached a high of .011 just prior to the closing bell, for an intraday increase of 156% which came on heavy volume, on the order of seven times the 30-day average.

With such a bullish session, we’re certainly going to want to keep QSIM on tap for further potential moves, be it an immediate continuation of this bullish trend, or a dip-and-rip scenario.


Vapor Group, Inc. VPOR

Rounding off yesterday’s top movers was VPOR. Like the previously-mentioned play, we caught this one on our routine morning scan and took note of an increase in volume and price action in the prior session.

The momentum carried over nicely, with VPOR trading up from a low of .00355 and reaching .0053, for an intraday pop of 49% It marked the third straight day of higher highs and higher lows for the stock, so it too will remain on our watchlist moving forward.


Lowes Companies, Inc. LOW – Options Idea

Lowes joined the earnings bonanza this morning with an impressive set of figures in their Q4 report. We are going to be tracking a range of short-term options to possibly take advantage of the commotion.

Our targets are going to be the LOW Weekly $79-81 Calls.
