Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Alliance Creative Group, Inc. | ACGX Special Report

Alliance Creative Group, Inc. ACGX

Our area of focus today will be ACGX; a printing, packaging, & supply chain management company, with creative and brand management support. Not only do we like the current setup of the chart (we’ll get to that in a minute) but also the fact that Alliance is a full-spectrum branding and packaging firm with solid financials and a core business with 15 years of industry experience.

It can be unusual to come across a company whose stock is trading sub-penny on the OTC, that is also producing revenue through a solid business model, but that’s just what we have in ACGX. What it represents, is a rare opportunity that requires our attention.

Taking the multifaceted approach, ACGX provides all of the following services and more:

Creative & Design – ACGX conceptualizes brands from the ground up, as well as working with clients’ pre-existing image to create practical packaging, and put its best foot forward. Logos, labels, product displays, flyers, ads, & more… Alliance does everything.

Packaging – To go along with its branding business, ACGX offers clients a myriad of packaging options. Flexible, folding, thermo & corrugated packaging of all kinds are well within Alliance’s wheelhouse. For those who don’t need 100% unique packaging designed, the company offers tens-of-thousands of pre-designed solutions.

Supply Chain Management – Being in the business for so long, ACGX is able to provide its customers with detail-oriented supply chain management, evaluating and calibrating every point along the product timeline from supplier to consumer.

Printing – Alliance does everything in-house, including fully-scalable printing, binding and logistics for the packaging options selected by the client. It’s supported by round-the-clock distribution and supply, facilitated by the company’s half-dozen warehouses across the country.

Direct Mailing – A direct mail campaign can have a powerful effect, and is another of the tools that ACGX places at its customers’ disposal.

PR, Brand Development & Managment – A strong focus on marketing is vital to the success of any business endeavor, and ACGX offers its services at every stop along the chain: Product Creation> Marketing> Product Placement> Distribution> Brand Management> PR

As part of its efforts to give back, Alliance set up Print4aCause.com, offering its services with a portion of the proceeds going to charity. The company selected four charitable organizations to which it plans to donate over $100,000 by July 31, 2014.

As you can see, ACGX represents a unique opportunity on the OTC Market with regard to the substance of its business, and it has the financials to back that claim. In its most recent PR, the company announced more positive growth; Revenue for Q4 2013 showed an increase over 32% Q4 2012, and net profits were boosted by 55% over Q4 2012.

Taking our interest even further, is one of the most attractive OTC charts we can remember seeing in a very long time. Let’s take a look; we’ll include an annotated image a well as a video chart presentation here:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: WAVX, APP, HEMP & Extended Watchlist

Wave Systems Corp. WAVX

WAVX hits our radar this morning as a fresh news play that is currently gapping up in pre-market trading. It will be worth putting this one on our radar in the event that the stock continues to run. The news is regarding a collaboration between WAVX, and Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq:MU).

BOISE, Idaho and LEE, Mass., April 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc. (MU), a global leader in advanced semiconductor systems, and Wave Systems Corp. (WAVX), a leading provider of endpoint security, today announced they are expanding their relationship to develop solutions designed to strengthen user protection against current and emerging threats to compute and embedded platforms. >> FULL PR

American Apparel, Inc. APP

Now is the time of year when we begin speculating on the positioning of APP; our coverage of this stock goes back to 2011. Traditionally this stock performs well heading into the heavy retail season which lasts from summer through the holidays.

The stock has recently come down to a relative low just below the fifty-cent mark, and has a gap on the chart (as you can see below) to .58.

As is usually the case when we bring this play into the conversation, this is more of a long-term watchlist item that we like to continuously monitor for opportunities over extended periods of time.

Hemp, Inc. HEMP

On the heels of its announcement of record-setting revenues, HEMP made a significant move after we featured it in yesterday’s morning report.

After opening up at .085, the stock rapidly shot up roughly 18% to a dime, before running into resistance. We’d like to see the stock hold support at or above the .075 range to keep things interesting.

Hemp, Inc. HEMP

Since 2012, we’ve talked up the business side of marijuana, and with all that has happened in the space since then, we have not been disappointed.

Our long-term subscribers recall that HEMP was among the first pot plays that we ever discussed, with its appearances in our reports dating all the way back to 10/16/12. If you take a look at our HEMP archive, you will find pages upon pages of coverage spanning from then up to the present, and it has been one heck of a ride.

When it first came across our screens, we saw two major runs from HEMP at the end of 2012 and leading into 2013, spanning from the .03-range up to .09, and from just below .03 back to a dime, respectively.

Flash forward to this past December, when HEMP had come all the way down under a penny (as low as .0085). Even though we knew the cannabis sector was bound to be huge, nothing could have prepared us for what was to come. As you all know, pot stocks across the board absolutely exploded around the New Year, and it sent HEMP on a stratospheric run which culminated in a high of .34 (Feb 5th.). The overall move we saw out of this play was a staggering 3900% between 12/19/13-02/05/14.

The following chart shows both that huge run, and current conditions that have us standing at attention. The PPS is holding support at a key level of previous resistance, and the MACD indicator is priming up for a bullish move:

Also turning our focus to HEMP today is the fact that just this morning, the company has released record-setting quarterly financials:

“Total sales for first quarter 2014 represent an increase of 1,181% over the same quarter last year and a marked 656% increase over the previous quarter announced just days ago.” >> Go To PR

Hemp, Inc. Sets Record Revenues for First Quarter 2014 (Mon 6:00AM EDT)

Triton Distribution Systems, Inc. TTDZ

Despite the general pullbacks throughout pot sector last week (perhaps largely related to the SEC’s temporary halt of PHOT) TTDZ managed to close out the week on a high note. On Friday, the stock made a nice intraday move from .024 to .0419, giving folks the chance at up to 75% in gains.

The last time we touched upon this favorite of ours, was last Monday, when we were congratulating ourselves for having seen a new high (.04) from TTDZ. The next day, the stock pushed the envelope again, setting yet another high mark at .049. From our first alert on January 30th (at a price of .0012), that is equal to an increase of 3983%

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

PBR and its options chain has been a veritable goldmine for us in recent weeks, and last week was no exception. We even saw a partial fill of the gap on the chart that we have been eyeing since beginning coverage on this play.

We were heavily interested in the $13.50 and $14 Weekly Calls for intra-week flip opportunities, and there were indeed many chances to profit.

We’re still currently looking at the $14 & $14.50 Weekly Calls for more potential flip opportunities.

The longer-term targets we’ve been tracking are the May $12 and the April $14’s, which, after already providing huge gains, still hold our interest.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: State of the Cannabis Sector

State of the Cannabis Sector

Shockwaves rippled through the burgeoning cannabis sector yesterday, as the SEC imposed a halt on the trading of PHOT stock (effective through Apr. 24th). Being such a major player in this fledgling market space, the sanction on PHOT caused pot stocks across the board to register losses on the day. Coupled with the general backsliding of the overall markets, many of the pot stocks that we’ve been tracking ended in the red, however our overall feelings toward the sector have not changed.

This was not the first halt of a cannabis stock, with CANN having just resumed trading after its own halt just a few weeks ago. With the free-for-all that was taking place earlier this year at the height of the “Green Rush”, it is unsurprising that some have used the opportunity to take advantage, and only natural that the SEC would tend to these cases in such a manner.

The fact remains that many states have pending marijuana legislation on the docket for 2014, so we can be certain that we are only at the beginning of the story. Just look at the following map of the current state of marijuana law in the US:

As a whole, the progress that legalization proponents have made over just the past couple of years has been nothing short of astounding. In government, nothing happens overnight; it takes time to change laws, and the pace at which marijuana reform is occurring is impressive.

Bumps in the road like the PHOT halt (and others which are bound to occur) are to be expected, and in fact, makes the need for us to keep our fingers on the pulse of the cannabis space that much more vital. General pullbacks caused by fear and panic like the one we observed yesterday can often be used to acquire cheap stock, which in many cases will yield future opportunities.

AV1 Group, Inc. AVOP

One exception to the overall trend yesterday, was a recent successful marijuana-related call of ours, in AVOP. If you recall, when we brought this play to the table on Tuesday, the stock ran from a low of .0006 to .0015, gaining 150%

The following day, AVOP pushed to a high of .0018, moving our total possible gains on the stock up to 200% before coming down to find support in the .0012-.0014 range, which it held yesterday, despite pullbacks occurring all around the space.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SKTO Report

SK3 Group, Inc. (aka Medical Greens) SKTO

Our regular readers are more than familiar with SKTO, as our coverage of this stock goes all the way back to last year (We actually caught this when it was trading as low as .0023!), but for the sake of our newest members, allow us to profile SKTO once again, and look into recent developments.

SKTO is, of course, part of the enormously successful marijuana sector, which sprung to life several months ago, leading up to the beginning of legal sales in Colorado. We’ve been heavily tracking this market space all the while, and have been afforded chances at percentage gains totaling in the tens-of-thousands as a result.

There are several things going on with this stock that make it ripe for the picking, from operating in such a popular sector, to recent alliances, and one heck of a chart setup.

Before we get into that, let’s touch upon the latest news on the cannabis legalization front. Last Friday, at an appropriations committee hearing, US Attorney General Eric Holder offered this on the legal reclassification of marijuana: “We [the administration] would be more than glad to work with Congress if there is a desire to look at and reexamine how the drug is scheduled”. There is evidence of a very real desire to do just that, with nearly 20 congressional members already having called upon Obama to take the matter into his own hands.

At present, marijuana is actually considered and treated as a Schedule I substance, placing it on par with drugs as dangerous as heroin. Any person with a little common sense and education can tell you that by no means do these two substances belong in the same category.

This comes as the latest in a series of position-softening comments by members of the Obama administration, including the president himself, that signify to us that the groundwork for widespread legalization is already being laid. It’s truly just a matter of time.

This cultural revolution is making it possible for stocks just like SKTO to make small fortunes for quick-witted traders , and one of the things that makes this play exciting is the alliance it has formed with yet another of our favorite past pot plays, AEGY.

Operating as PharmaJanes, AEGY has teamed up with SKTO (operating as Medical Greens) as outlined in a recent PR, with the intent being to “merge the two companies for better market efficiencies and to create a single medical marijuana market support company which can qualify for a higher (AMEX, NASDAQ) market listing.”
If it were just any company involved in such a pact, we might not take it as seriously, but coming from a revenue-producing company like SKTO, it begs our attention. After all, reported gross revenues increased for each of the first three consecutive quarters of 2013, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see that number climb with the upcoming release of 4^th quarter financials. The company recently put in for a late filing, and per that statement, we can expect those numbers to be released by April 15^th.

Lastly, we’ll take a look at the SKTO chart, which is looking ripe at the moment. The stock has begun to bounce, and indicators suggest we could easily pile on further gains from here.

As you can see on the chart, the RSI is rising sharply, and the MACD is exhibiting the beginnings of a bullish pattern. The main area of resistance we are looking at is the 50DMA of .034, and beyond that, recent swing-highs at .042 and .052 and .0735.

If SKTO were to break resistance at its 50DMA, a return to those levels would mean gains from 65-188% over the current price of .0255, so we’ll definitely be watching SKTO closely.
