Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Potential Bottom-Play, HMCP Update & More

GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. GCAP

GCAP began to get hammered on the heels of yesterday’s announcement by the Swiss National Bank that it would move interest rates caused some volatility in the Swiss franc.

The stock is still getting crushed in the premarket today despite the fact that the move by the Swiss does not materially affect the company, as stated in a commentary released by BCAP yesterday afternoon. >>> READ PR

Currently it has been beaten down to the 6.50-area; its lowest levels since October, so what we’re going to want to do is monitor this play for an eventual bottom-bounce. This is exactly the type of knee-jerk pullback we like to catch, as the recovery can often be extremely profitable for quick-witted traders.

Heritage Media Corp. HMCP

We first brought HMCP to our readers’ attention on New Year’s Eve, and discussed it most recently last Thursday. With such a low float, HMCP is susceptible to rapid movement on relatively little buying/selling pressure, and in the intervening time between those two reports, we witnessed a series of heavy swings in the stock cumulatively totaling 200%

We pointed out that the patterns were making a bullish flag formation on the chart, and it did turn out to be a prelude to further gains. On Monday we observed a low of .003, and yesterday the stock registered a new high for us at .0077, which adds another 156% swing to the already impressive moves we had witnessed previously.

Indicators are still looking ripe as illustrated on the following snapshot, so HMCP will be something that we keep a close eye on into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ACGX Update Report

Alliance Creative Group, Inc. ACGX

It has been awhile since we last zeroed in on ACGX, and with a new PR out this morning for the first time in a couple of months, it seems like a good time to bring this one up again. Before getting into the latest developments, allow us to reiterate a few key points on the nature of the company for some of our newest subscribers.Alliance’s business is well diversified, including the following services and more:

For over a decade ACGX has been working with John Paul Mitchell Systems (Company responsible for Paul Mitchell haircare products), and in a PR this fall, alluded to having received additional business for Paul Mitchell’s PM Shines line >>> READ PR 

We also want to point out the new PR released this morning which contains significant news pertaining to the expansion of ACGX’s already diverse business via acquisition:

CHART:

Looking at the ACGX Chart, the stock began to come off of a relative bottom toward the end of 2014, and has been maintaining support above its previous resistance level which currently coincides with the 50DMA at .0019.  As you can see on the following snapshot, if ACGX can push through the channel between .002-.0025, we could be in line to witness a significant breakout to the upside.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RSH Updates & More

RadioShack Corp. RSH

RSH found new highs early in the session after we tagged it in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. Word got around that RSH was reportedly offered a $500M bankruptcy loan, and it sent the stock quickly from a low of .43 to .55 which registers as a 28% intraday rip.

That marks the second time in the past several months that we caught RSH coming off of a new 52-week low and were afforded a rapid gain opportunity as a result. The last time was back in August when we tracked the play from its then annual low of .55 all the way up to the 1.60-area.

As of the end of 2014, the company was only short roughly $40M of the $100M in cash/credit needed to avoid having its long-term finance nixed, so this loan could certainly alter circumstances. We’ll be paying close attention for updates on whether the terms will be accepted by RSH.

Top Shelf Brands Holdings, Inc. DKTS

We wanted to do a quick update on DKTS this morning; the company came with some late morning news yesterday regarding the updated status of its recently announced teaming with Big Tent Media. Apparently Big Tent has already found a suitable partnership for DKTS with regard to the public release of its upcoming beverage line; Konvict Records, which was co-founded by well-known R&B singer Akon.

The marketing power of celebrity endorsement has been demonstrated time and time again, particularly in the premium spirits industry. Countless celebrities have successfully launched branded beverages, and DKTS hopes to capture the same sort of recognition for its brands. It’s a story to which we are definitely interested in staying closely tuned.

You can follow the link below to the corresponding PR, but first we’ve prepared a followup video on the DKTS Chart, click below to check it out:

HOUSTON, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Alonzo Pierce, CEO of Top Shelf Brands Holdings, Inc. (a Nevada Corporation) (DKTS), is pleased to announce that Big Tent Group, has secured a partnership for Top Shelf Brands with Groovlyne/Konlive Distribution/Konvict Records that will create a competitive edge for Top Shelf Brands in the alcohol beverage industry. >>>VIEW PR
