Yesterday’s OTC Shutdown

We wanted to comment on the lack of OTC trading yesterday even though our newsletter didn’t happen to contain any OTC stocks. Due to an alleged glitch in connectivity, FINRA made the call to halt all trading on the OTC Markets. It took most of the day for a solution to be enacted, but apparently the problem was resolved, and trading will resume normally today. This wasn’t the first time this year that a US Market has been shut down for glitches in data streams, as many you of recall, NASDAQ was hit with a similar occurrence which forced a halt back in August.

Geron, Corp. GERN

We added GERN to yesterday’s extended watchlist upon witnessing pre-market trades going off in the 4.00-range. It was gapping up big-time from its previous close at 3.60, and began the day’s trading at 7.25. This was a red flag, and as is usually the case with a stock which has spiked so violently, GERN hit its top at 7.79, and began the inevitable reversal. This would have been an excellent opportunity to short the stock, and cover in the 5.00-range for a rapid profit to the tune of 40%

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MACK

MACK is a bottom-bounce play that we picked up on yesterday, and like it as a potential recovery play. There is a big gap on the chart between the 3.00-3.40 level, the filling of which could provide us with gains of 30% or more. We’ll have it on watch today to break that 3.00-mark.

Aden Solutions, Inc. ADSU
&
Accredited Business Consolidators Corp. ACDU

We noticed that these two plays began to breakout yesterday on abnormally high volume. We want to keep them on watch for a continuation of that momentum into today’s session.

Gainers From Yesterday’s Watchlist

Here are picks from yesterday’s extended watchlist that fared well and offered us the chance at gains:

NeuroMetrix, Inc. NURO saw a low of 2.38, and ran 20% to 2.85 roughly between the hours of 10am-1pm

LivePerson Inc. LPSN touched a low of 10.61 before hitting its daily high at 11.44, an 8% increase.

OXBT followed our expectations to the letter yesterday. We were heralding the stock for its stellar 560% gain, then mentioned that we would be “on alert for any possible pullbacks, because those will often lead to excellent bounce opportunities.” The monstrous run that had begun a few days prior found its apex, giving way to a significant consolidation. After opening at 9.73, OXBT went as high as 11.40, that’s 17% intraday, and from our original alert low of 1.46 (10/29), a tremendous 681%

Upon the anticipated pullback we saw the stock fall to 6.81, bounce, close at 7.70, and this morning pre-market trades have been going off above the 8.00-mark. Moving forward we’d like to see the stock hold support above yesterday’s low, and continue to make higher lows.

This whole thrill ride was catalyzed when OXBT’s partner Phyxius Pharma announced testing results on its heart medication, ‘Levosimendan’, which showed effectiveness in reducing mortality rates among patients undergoing surgical procedures with reduced cardiac function.Tests at the Duke School of Medicine showed it could potentially reduce unwanted outcomes from open heart surgery by as much as 50%. OXBT has a standing agreement to acquire Phyxius, and by extension, the rights to Levosimendan. This is a story we will continue to follow through to its conclusion.

Marchex, Inc. MCHX

MCHX appeared in yesterday’s extended watchlist and made a nice move, trading in a range from 8.17 to 10.00. That represents a 22% gain, and the stock did manage to close out the session maintaining much of that increase at 9.91.

The Twitter IPO – TWTR

As many of you undoubtedly know, on Wednesday, Twitter priced its shares at $26, and will begin trading on the NYSE today under the symbol TWTR. As we did with Facebook, we are using caution early on, as the conditions seem set to create a “perfect storm” of volatility out of the gate. Demand from the outset is expected to be very high, which would create buying pressure and likely cause a significant increase as the first shares begin trading hands. Some experts believe as much as a 30% initial spike could occur, which we believe would lead a sizable number of investors to take those quick profits off of the table right away. That wave of selling pressure could kick up the volatility, causing some major swings in share price.

On the other hand, if demand for the stock has been underestimated, we could be looking at a maiden run that spans multiple sessions. This is why, and the Facebook IPO certainly provided a good lesson to that effect, we are approaching TWTR with a healthy skepticism. No matter how it all plays out, it will be very interesting to watch. You can be sure we will continue to comment as the situation unfolds.

OXBT | Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. & Extended Watchlist

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. OXBT
–
We’ve been talking OXBT since October 22nd; shortly thereafter we would see a low of 1.46 (10/29) in this stock which has basically been on an epic run ever since. Yesterday, it attained a high of 9.75 on just over 22X the average volume, which marks a mega-move of 560% in just five trading sessions.

It looks as if the stock is gapping up even further this morning, making OXBT a hot-button topic right now. Big congratulations are in order for anyone who was able to take advantage of OXBT’s monstrous run. As is the case with any stock that is up this much over such a short time period, we want to stay on alert for any possible pullbacks, because those will often lead to excellent bounce opportunities.

Stay tuned to our reports for ongoing coverage of the OXBT situation.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: EWSI, PHOT Recap

E-Waste System, Inc. EWSI
–
EWSI made a modest gain yesterday after we placed it on watch in our morning report. The stock traded in a range from .0593-.068 which represents an intraday move of 15%, and ended the day up just over 9% from the previous day’s close.

EWSI maintained support, making higher lows and higher highs, which puts us on the lookout for a continuation of the current uptrend.

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

PHOT was our other mention from yesterday morning’s report, and it too logged a positive performance to kick off the week. Where some newsletters struggle to bring you one gainer, we were able to hit our mark with two on Monday.

PHOT traded well from the start; it touched its daily low of .087 very early-on, and never looked back. We saw a 11.5% increase to the afternoon high at .097, and the stock closed holding most of that gain, on just under twice the 3mo. average volume.

We are now approaching its levels from early this year, meaning that this is not the first, but the second time we’ve followed PHOT from under .04 to more than .09. An old favorite like this one is sure to have a lasting spot on our watchlist, especially when it continues to deliver.

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

PHOT is a long-time favorite of ours as many of you well know, and continues to be one of the stars of the rapidly burgeoning marijuana sector. Recently PHOT has been trading with increased liquidity, and this morning, the company had some news out that caught our attention. We will want to continue to keep an eye on PHOT, especially if Portland voters pass the upcoming initiative:

GrowLife, Inc. (OTCBB: PHOT), a diversified company operating in the legal cannabis industry including online and brick and mortar hydroponic stores, OEM grow equipment, commercial grow-op support, and media, is pleased to announce that the Company’s retail hydroponic location in Portland, Maine will be hosting festivities and store specials throughout Election Day, Tuesday November 5, 2013 as it awaits the results.

Voters in Portland are being asked to decide whether they want to make it legal for adults 21 and over to possess up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana. The Nov. 5 vote is being watched nationwide as a potential bellwether for the relaxation of marijuana laws in the Northeast. Recreational marijuana use is already legal in Colorado and Washington State and 21 states now have some version of medical allowance on their books. >> FULL PR
