OXBT, CETV, APP, CYBK & Extended Watchlist

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. OXBT
–
After appearing on our extended watchlist yesterday morning, OXBT had a monster session. The stock was a juggernaut, rising all day from its low of 1.70, up as high as 2.87, good for an intraday gain of 69% on more than 48X 3mo. average volume.

This came on the heels of a press release, included below:

MORRISVILLE, N.C. & CHESTER, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Phyxius Pharma, Inc. and Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc., (OXBT), today announced that researchers at the Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), part of the Duke University School of Medicine, recently published findings of a meta-analysis of multiple clinical trials that evaluated the use of levosimendan in patients undergoing heart surgery. The study aggregated and analyzed results from 14 independent clinical trials with a total of 1,155 patients. The published results showed that levosimendan was associated with reduced mortality (death) and other adverse outcomes including heart attacks during and after operation in patients with reduced heart function undergoing heart surgery. >> FULL PR

Central European Media Enterprises, Inc. CETV

We first alerted CETV back on May 10th, as popped up on one of our Form-4 scans. At the time, the stock was trading as low as 2.67, and saw subsequent high of 6.6497. A huge potential profit of 149% Since then, the stock has never dipped below that 2.67 mark, until yesterday, when disappointing third quarter and nine month financials were announced, and CETV was subject to a large backslide.

On stocks that see a large gap down, tanking the way CETV did, we watch closely for the establishment of a new base and following recovery. Especially when the sell-off seems to be a knee-jerk reaction to an earnings release. We won’t want to miss any potential rebound action on this one.

American Apparel, Inc. APP

APP earned us an honorable mention in yesterday’s Penny Stock Rumble for putting in a solid performance. The stock did just what we had hoped, making higher highs and higher lows, and preserving the current uptrend off of its bottom. The daily range was from 1.34-1.52, an intraday move of roughly 13.5% on more than twice the 3mo. average volume.

As we stated yesterday, this stock has been on our holiday retail watchlist for years now, and 2013 is no exception. We’ll be very interested to follow the activity on APP over the next several months.

Cyber Kiosk Solutions, Inc. CYBK

This is one we wanted to throw into the mix this morning after including on our watchlist yesterday. The company had some news out that caught our attention, and chart looks like it has some potential as well. Volume has recently been picking up, and the MACD is flipping up to the bullish side. The RSI recently passed the 50-line as well. We’re keeping CYBK on watch for a possible move as we head into week’s end.

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Cyber Kiosk Solutions, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: CYBK) in May the Company announced 4,000 locations would be coming online using CYBK’s co-branded web based system.

Extended Watchlist:
EWSI, ANR, LSI, ARIA, CYNI (New lows watching for possible turnaround)

ONP, NQ, APP & Extended Watchlist

Orient Paper, Inc. ONP
–
ONP was a good pick from yesterday’s extended watchlist. We included it after after noticing that the stock was gapping up pre-market. It did so, and after touching a morning low of 2.15, we observed a move from ONP which took the price as high as 2.55. That was good for an intraday spike of 19%

This came on the heels of the company’s release of unaudited preliminary third quarter figures, which included 25% increases in both net income and earnings-per-share, and a 23.5% boost to gross profit. This is a steadily growing business that we will want to keep an eye on moving forward.

NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

Another winner from the extended watchlist yesterday came in the form of NQ. The stock saw a daily range from 8.74 up to 12.18, and afforded us the opportunity at gains of up to 39% It seems we caught this play off of its bottom and mentioned it at just the right time.

As is generally the case when we come across such a play, today we’re on the lookout for the stock to post higher highs and higher lows to confirm an uptrend off of that bottom.

American Apparel, Inc. APP

On October 8th, we mentioned that we were watching for a bottom on an old favorite of ours, APP. It had been steadily downtrending since the beginning of August, and it seemed like the right time to re-alert the stock. Just two days later, we saw that bottom, as APP touched 1.04. After waiting patiently for just a few weeks, it seems that APP has finally begun a reversal and is now headed up once again. Yesterday APP broke through a key resistance point, the 50DMA at 1.31, and several indicators are showing strength, including the MACD, which is currently diverging, and we have an RSI which is heading straight into the power zone.

The timing here couldn’t much better, as APP has been one of our favorite retail stocks heading into the holiday season for years now. For example, last year, the stock saw a move from .90-2.40 between the months of November and April. The year before, it was from the .50-range up to 1.20. We are excited to see where this year’s retail season takes APP, especially after catching it right off of its dead bottom.

ATOS, CTIC, APP & Extended Watchlists

Atossa Genetics, Inc. ATOS

–
We tacked ATOS onto our extended watchlist yesterday morning, noting that the stock was in the midst of a “Huge gap down” and that we were “watching for a potential bounce”. Indeed that was the case, as the stock touched a low of 2.54 before a reversal carried it as high 3.18, a 25% intraday gain. As usual, when we see big gap-downs, we are looking out for quick-strike opportunities that allow us to make a rapid profit and a timely exit.We have uncovered a few other stocks fitting that profile that we will be monitoring for similar activity today:

Tower Group Intl. Ltd. TWGP

CEL-SCI Corp. CVM

Celgene Corp. CELGZ

Cell Therapeutics, Inc. CTIC
Another play from yesterday’s extended watchlist, CTIC opened at its low of day, and rumbled upward for a 23% move, closing at the high of day on nearly 12X its 3mo. average volume. In doing so, it managed to break a previous swing high at 1.80, a level we’d like to see hold as support moving forward.

We prepared the the following video chart on CTIC:

With the kind of momentum CTIC built up over the course of the day yesterday, this is one play that will be near the top of our watchlists in the near future. The catalyst here seems to be an agreement announced yesterday between the company and the FDA as outlined in the press release below.

SEATTLE, Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (CTI) (NASDAQ and MTA: CTIC) today announced that the company reached agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) for the planned pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial, known as the PERSIST-2 trial, evaluating pacritinib compared to best available therapy, including approved JAK2 inhibitors such as ruxolitinib, in patients with myelofibrosis whose platelet counts are <100,000/uL. The SPA is a written agreement between CTI and the FDA regarding the design, endpoints and planned statistical analysis approach of the trial to be used in support of a potential New Drug Application (NDA) submission. The PERSIST-2 trial is the second of two planned Phase 3 clinical trials in patients with myelofibrosis. CTI expects to initiate the PERSIST-2 clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2013. >>> FULL STORY

American Apparel, Inc. APP

APP is another stock we have tracked for an extended period of time. We have been watching this one to sniff out a bottom for the past few months, and wanted to re-enter it into the conversation today, as that point may be drawing near. A quick peek at the chart below clearly shows just that:

Extended Watchlist:

JCP, AGEN, CBMX, NAVB, TKMR

AAPL, CTXV & Extended Watchlist

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options
Apple surpassed the $490-mark yesterday, as we suggested it might in Friday’s newsletter. Impressive iPhone sales seem to be the catalyst here as the stock gapped up yesterday and saw a daily high of 496.91, revealing the $480-$485 Calls that we were monitoring as multi-bag gainers.

To determine our next course of action, we are going to want to watch AAPL’s attitude closely; resistance at this point appears at $498 & $500. Failure to breach those levels could result in a consolidation for which we need to be prepared.

CTX Virtual Technologies, Inc. CTXV

We have CTXV on our long-term watchlist, and while the stock is fairly illiquid at this point in time, we like the idea and business plan behind this one enough to monitor its situation going forward.

CTX manufactures a variety of mobile communication technology including basic Cell Phones, PDA’s, Smartphone’s, Printed Circuit Boards and the worlds smallest fully-functioning PC, the MISEETX. CTX also manufactures and distributes it’s proprietary 3D electronic perception technology for interactive virtual computer keyboards.

In addition to logging almost $50M in net sales for the last reporting period, the company recently received the go-ahead from BlackBerry to begin using the BlackBerry compatible logo on their VK 200 Keyfob(TM) input devices.

Blue Horseshoe: APP, URBN | Retail Focus

American Apparel, Inc. APP

APP is the first of a pair of retail stocks that we are bringing to your attention today in anticipation of the end of summer and upcoming retail season. Kids going back to school, as well as the rush of holiday buying that begins each fall and lasts into winter as folks gear up to celebrate the holidays has been a source of significant opportunity for us in the past. .

In the case of APP, we have a stock that we last mentioned this past fall, with great success. We timed an alert on this play in November ’12 which coincided with the company’s Q3 financials, and were rewarded handsomely for our efforts. At the time, the stock was trading below 1.00 per share, and before winter was over, the stock price had traveled as high as 2.40.

This time, we are revisiting APP before the busy season kicks in, in an attempt to monitor for, and properly time a bottom on the current pullback which started at the end of July. A sharp eye could lead to some serious recovery-profits when we see a reversal and subsequent bounce, so we’re going to be on the lookout for that.

Urban Outfitters, Inc. URBN

In the same vein as APP, we have well-known retail clothing brand, Urban Outfitters. We are bringing this stock into today’s retail discussion as well, mentioning it for the first time.

Earlier this month, URBN gapped up significantly off of an earnings release, an event which was followed by a consolidation which partially filled that gap. Over the past two sessions, the stock has posted higher highs and higher lows, a signal of a potential turnaround, so we are going to be monitoring URBN closely heading into week’s end for a possible confirmation of an uptrend.

It’s also worth mentioning that the company announced the initiation of a share buyback program, which you can read about in the following PR:

PHILADELPHIA, August 28, 2013 – Urban Outfitters, Inc. (URBN), a leading lifestyle specialty retail company operating under the Anthropologie, BHLDN, Free People, Terrain and Urban Outfitters brands, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of 10 million common shares under a share repurchase program. >>>FULL RELEASE
