Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Happy Veteran’s Day

Achillion Pharmceuticals, Inc. ACHN

Those of you who don’t remember, we followed ACHN to enormous gains this past summer, beginning with our first mention of the stock on June 9th. After that time we actually saw this play run from a low of 3.72 to more than 13.00.

We re-tagged it in yesterday’s extended watchlist and were happy with the timing;  the stock traded in a range from 10.67 up to 12.95, a healthy 21% intraday move on more than four times the 1-month average volume.

Planar Systems, Inc. PLNR

We also wanted to do a quick update on PLNR. This stock came off of our extended watchlist on Thursday, and made a modest 15% move from 6.11-7.05, and it put up a similar performance to start the week yesterday.

We saw a move from 6.40-7.94, an intraday gain of 24%, and at the high, an overall increase of 30% from Thursday’s observed low.

Implant Sciences Corp. IMSC

We also want to keep an eye on IMSC today, as we’re seeing the stock gap up this morning on the heels of a PR that alluded to the securing of a contract with the United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that apparently could be worth up to $162M.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Recap on RPRX, JNUG, Others

Repros Therapeutics, Inc. RPRX

The primary attraction to come off of our report on Friday was definitely RPRX. The stock had one heck of a solid session, building steadily all day long. It traded from a morning low of 7.66, and reached as high as 10.25 just prior to the close, and did so on volume which exceeded the 3-month average by nearly eight times. That’s a really impressive run from a stock in this price range.

We originally caught RPRX on October 17th after catching the stock gapping down to 52-week lows, and measuring from the low we observed subsequent to that report (5.97), Friday’s high represented an overall increase of 71%

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bull 3X ETF (JNUG)

Also jumping off of Friday’s extended watchlist with a good showing was JNUG. We seemed to have timed our mention of this ETF quite well, with gold prices having bounced off of their annual low on Thursday, it set the stage for JNUG to make a respectable intraday day for us.

It traded in a range from 3.59-4.44, gaining as much as 24% on considerable volume, to the tune of 4.5X it’s 3-month average.

JNUG could be an interesting play moving forward providing the rebound in the price of gold is sustained, so that will be one of the things we’ll be interested to watch for as we kick off a new trading week.

Dendreon Corp. DNDN

DNDN is taking a massive premarket pounding this morning in the wake of the company’s filing for Chapter 11 protection. It’s worth noting, despite the forthcoming restructuring, the company will continue to produce and distribute its PROVENGE immunotherapy treatment, and has declared that it “has significant liquidity to support all of its operations during the restructuring process, with approximately $100 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments on hand as of November 7, 2014” >> View PR

Because of the nature of the situation, we’ll be exercising extreme caution, but we still want to monitor the stock for a bottom and subsequent bounceplay opportunities that could come as a result.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DGLY Update & Much More

Digital Ally, Inc. DGLY

For the third consecutive session yesterday, our coverage of DGLY yielded the opportunity for significant gains as the stock once again posted higher lows and higher highs on dramatically higher-than-average volume. (More than 12x higher than the one month average)

The stock began the week on a very strong note, trading in an impressive range from its early morning low of 8.75 all the way up to 14.75 shortly before 3PM. That represents a steady intraday move of 68% and at that high, our total possible gains on this stock over a three session period from the low we observed Thursday (5.75) stood at 156%

This has been an excellent short-term play for us, so we want to congratulate anyone who was able to take advantage of our timely alerts.

Drone Aviation Holding Corp. DRNE

We included a mention of DRNE once again yesterday, after its inclusion in Friday’s report led us to the chance to make up to 24% in gains from .89-1.10. The stock responded with another nice performance, and registered higher lows and higher highs on the day.

DRNE traded in a range from 1.09-1.30, a 19% intraday gain, and that high marked a 46% move up off of the low we observed when we tagged this play on Friday.


LabStyle Innovations Corp. DRIO

DRIO was a play we were monitoring yesterday, as anyone who stopped by our blog at BlueHorseshoeStocks.com and took a look at our daily stock tracker would have noticed. The stock is coming across as a bottom-bouncer, which hit its 52-week lows in the nickel-range yesterday, and has already begun a healthy rebound, pushing its way back over .08.

Significant volume is pouring through the stock for the first time in quite awhile, with yesterday’s session setting an all-time record, so DRIO will definitely be one we want to keep an eye on moving forward as it continues its recovery.

DRIO also provides an excellent example of why its always a good idea to visit Blue Horseshoe daily even if you’ve already read our morning report in your inbox.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

PBR hit new highs yesterday cracking the $18-mark, and lending further credence to our long term options-trading idea that we put forth last week; the January 17th $19 Calls. Those contracts have edged their way up from a low of 1.23 on Friday, and hit 1.64 during yesterday’s session, which marks a modest yet significant session-over-session increase of 33%

We expect the possible gains on those Calls to inflate even further as they draw nearer to their expiration if PBR can continue to follow its recent patterns.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR Options & More

Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options

We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve called PBR correctly, but it has become a weekly, if not daily, sort of occurrence. If you recall, our report on Friday included a note proclaiming our interest in the “August 22nd $15.50 and $16.00 Calls for a swing trade into next week.” Already that prediction has begun to materialize in a big way.

PBR blew past $16 and even breached $16.50 during Friday’s session, and our target contracts both saw sizable increases. The 08/22 $15.50 Calls ran 73% in a range from .68-1.18, while the $16 Calls went from .44 to .79; a 79% jump.

The Weekly $16 Calls which have been a focus in each of the past few weeks, while a more risky proposition, yielded the highest potential rewards. Those ran from .05-.50 on the day; a 900% spike.

This morning in the pre-market, PBR has already traded as high as $17, so it will be interesting to see how much higher our potential gains on this idea will go. The first thing we’re looking to do this morning, is take enough profit off of the table to lock in our initial investment, then ride the rest of the way on the house’s money.

We’ll also be observing the overall temperament of the stock as we begin a new trading week, and will be forming further strategies as we go, so stay tuned!

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CANV, ACHN, FREE & More

CannaVest Corp. CANV 

CANV is a stock that recently fell off of a cliff, and found itself trading at 52-week lows.  We like to monitor such plays during their recovery, which has already begun in this case. Trading near its annual lows, CANV appears undervalued, especially in light of the figures contained in the earnings report put out by the company yesterday.

Highlights included a Q2 net income of slightly over $8M, as compared to a net loss of $348K for the same quarter in 2013, and over $9M in cash on-hand. We suggest you read the release in its entirety >>> FULL PR

Check out these websites for some background on Cannavest (http://www.CannaVest.com) and its subsidiaries, which include US Hemp Oil, LLC (http://www.USHempOil.com), and CannaVest Laboratories, LLC (http://www.CannaVestLabs.com).. We’re always interested tracking a revenue-generating company in the cannabis sector, and CANV fits the bill.

The stock was trading as high as $20.00 just a few months ago; regaining even a portion of the ground it has lost from current prices in the mid-$3 range would mean the chance at a significant profit for nimble traders.

Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACHN

ACHN is a stock we began to track earlier this summer (June 9th) as it was in the midst of a massive surge. At the time we caught it at a low of 3.72, and it ran to nearly $8 over just a two-session span. In the following months, it had been trading in a rough channel between the mid-$6’s and mid-$7’s, and just cracked over $8 yesterday for the first time in more than a year.

This morning’s PR regarding the company’s hepatitis C drug, which was been found to cure all patients in mid-stage trials is also contributing to a huge gap-up that has the stock pushing the $10 mark in the premarket. At that level, we’re already looking at a 168% move up from the the lows we observed in June, and we’re certainly going to have the stock on more intensive watch moving forward.


FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

After appearing in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, FREE went on to break above the 50DMA at .66, and run 28% intraday from .631-.809.  We want to see higher highs and higher lows acheived as this is another play coming off of its 52-week lows. We’ll need to see it maintain support above the previous 50DMA of .66 in order to keep our attention.

The spike we’re seeing here comes in conjunction with yesterday’s announcement that FREE had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders equity rule. >>> FULL PR

PBR Options Ideas:

Continuing our coverage of the PBR options chain, we wanted to throw out a few quick ideas as the week comes to a close. We may be interested in the August 22nd $15.50 and $16.00 Calls for a swing trade into next week.
