Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Revisiting PSID


PositiveID Corp. PSID

We’ve got a lengthy history with this morning’s topic of discussion, PSID, which dates all the way back to 2013. Early this year, we tracked this play over an impressive range from .0572 to .125 over a short time period in late February to early March. That move gave us the chance to bag gains close to 120%

Recently, the chart has shown some rapid swings in the .03-.085 range, and after coming down to find support at .034 last week the stock is beginning to look like it’s in a good position to bounce again, but before we break down the PSID chart let’s recap what the company does.

For those who might not remember, PSID has hung its hat on a couple of key products:

M-BAND – PSID’s M-BAND Detector, in a nutshell, is a bio-aerosol device that uses cell lysis and nucleic acid purification to provide continuous analysis of air quality. The M-BAND screens for bacteria, viruses, and other bio-toxins.This pathogen detector has already been tested in the field. The company recently shipped several units to Maryland for continued testing to protect U.S. warfighters as part of The Joint United States Forces Korea Portal and Integrated Threat Recognition (JUPITR) program >>> Read PR


Firefly Dx – This is PSID’s point-of-care diagnostic tool still under development. It’s a portable handheld device capable of sample lysis, purification, PCR analysis in the field. The ultimate goal is to provide point-of-care diagnostics in 20 minutes or less with a device that could essentially fit in your pocket. Due to the nature of PSID‘s products, it’s not a surprise that the recent Ebola scare drove this stock to spike violently last month.  In the time since then, we’ve learned that the company is working with U.S. Special Operations Command in hopes of continuing the development of the Firefly Dx system and bringing it into the realm of real-world use. >>> Read PR

TODAY’S NEWS:

This morning the company released both Quarterly and 9-Month financials, the highlights of which included reported revenue of $325,000 for the quarter ended 09/30/14, and $745,000 for the 9 months ended 09/30/14.  PSID also increased its 2014/2015 revenue and backlog estimate to $3.6 million, and reiterated its revenue guidance of $4-10 million through the end of 2015 (2014 and 2015 combined) >> Read PR

CHART:

As we said earlier regarding the PSID chart, we can see a lot of potential in its current positioning. It’s coming off of support, with the RSI approaching the 50-line and a MACD that appears to be ready to undergo a bullish cross. We want to have PSID at the top of our watchlists as it has shown us its ability to make rapid gains on multiple occasions. Go ahead and check out the video presentation we prepared on the PSID chart below:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ZAZA Update & More

ZaZa Energy Corp. ZAZA

We tagged ZAZA last Thursday on the heels of an earnings beat, and at the time, we mentioned that we’d put the stock on watch for a classic dip-and-rip scenario.

While it took more than a full session for it to settle back and find support, it did so on Friday, bouncing off of the 2.87-mark. Yesterday ZAZA continued to trend off of that bottom and reached a subsequent high of 3.60. For us, that marks a three-day turnaround on ZAZA with possible gains of up to 25%

In order for us to remain interested in ZAZA, we’ll need to see support hold at or above the 50DMA of 3.24.


Geron Corp. GERN

We also want to make mention of GERN, which we put on watch Friday after the company announced it had licensed its cancer treatment to a unit of Johnson & Johnson in a contract that could reportedly be worth up to $935 million.

After seeing a low of 2.72 from GERN initially on Friday, the stock began to rebound up to yesterday’s high of 3.10. (+14%) and appears to be gapping up slightly in the premarket today.

Folks might be interested in tuning in to the live webcast of GERN presenting at the Stifel 2014 Healthcare Conference in New York,  NY today at 1:50 p.m. EST. Webcast link can be found at GERN’s Website, HERE >>>

Gainers From Yesterday’s Watchlist

NV5 Holdings, Inc. NVEE
NVEE made a decent move during yesterday’s session, trading in a positive range from 10.60-12.40, offering up the chance for a 19% intraday gain.

Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. FOLD
Another modest yet notable mover came in the form of FOLD, which increased from a low of 6.22 and reached 7.10, a move of 14%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FCGD Update & More

First Columbia Gold Corp. FCGD

We wanted to take an opportunity this morning to update our subscribers on the recent activity of FCGD. In the weeks since we published our initial report on October 30th, the stock has provided us with a couple of quality swing trade opportunities.

The first came the week before last, as the stock traded in a range from .075-.095, a gain of 26% After pulling back to find support at .07 this past Tuesday, FCGD made another push, reaching as high as .11 on Friday. That added another 57% swing, and brought our cumulative total of possible gains on FCGD over the course of just a couple of weeks to 73%

The good news is, the chart is still looking as if it’s gearing up for the next run, as we pointed out below:

Also, don’t forget, First Columbia is involved in an expanding oil & gas project in Kentucky, and is actually pulling resources from the ground. Their current ten-well program was nearly halfway to completion as of the latest PR update from FCGD, so we’re going to be waiting intently for further information regarding the project.

Another good way to establish a clear picture of the company’s progress and operations would be to listen to the exclusive interview we conducted with FCGD CEO Jason Castenir via our sister site, Stock Traders Talk. >>> CEO INTERVIEW

Solar3D, Inc. SLTD

We also want to make mention of SLTD; the stock came down to a low of .18 on Friday and immediately began to recover ground, so this is one we’ll enter into the log as a possible bottom-bouncer.

Provided it can hold support at or above the current 50DMA at .19, we’ll have it on watch to possibly continue to rebound as we begin a new trading week.

Extended Watchlist:
FOLD, ABGB, CADC, NSPH, MSTX, NVEE

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: IMSC Update & More

Implant Sciences Corp. IMSC

We caught IMSC earlier this week on Tuesday, as it popped up on a routine news scan that morning; the company had announced a potentially lucrative contract with the TSA and the stock was gapping up pretty big.

It took a couple of sessions for the stock to come down and find support, and yesterday following an update on the TSA contract in which we learned that the initial order for over 1100 explosive detectors to be deployed in airports across the country was received, the stock began to run. >> Read PR

From an early low of 1.26 IMSC made a nice 22% intraday move, topping out at 1.54. We want to continue to pay attention to this play as the week comes to a close, in the wake of this morning’s Q1 2015 earnings release, which contains some favorable figures:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TWTR Options, ZAZA Earnings & More

Twitter. Inc. TWTR – Options

Part of our attention this morning will be given to TWTR, and, more specifically TWTR calls, as we’re catching the stock in the midst of rebounding off of it’s lowest price point since the end of July. The stock found support just shy of the $40-mark on Tuesday and registered higher lows and higher highs during yesterday’s session.

We’ll look to take advantage of a possible continuation of the trend using the TWTR options chain. The $42 and $43 weekly calls are going to be where we look for intraweek flip opportunities, and for a longer-term swing trade idea, we’ll track the December 12th $44 calls (Last Traded: 1.45).

If TWTR can fill the remaining gap on the chart to the $47-range before 12/12 we could be looking at a 100% increase in those calls from here, so it’s going to be something we’ll pay close attention to over the next month.


ZaZa Energy Corp. ZAZA

ZAZA has us on alert this morning as well; the stock is gapping up heavily on a post-market earnings release that included some interesting figures. The company has a conference call scheduled to begin at 10:00AM EST >>> Listen In via Yahoo! Finance

We’re going to be monitoring this play for an early run-up on the untraded-upon earnings report, followed by a possible dip-and-rip scenario. We’ve sniped out rapid gains on both sides of the fence in situations just like this one, just by staying extra vigilant, so ZAZA will be another interesting play to follow as we close out the week.

Extended Watchlist:
SWET, DWA, ASTI, SAND, DNDN, BAXS (Big gap-down, radar for potential bounce)
