Blue Horseshoe: Pot Stocks Update & More

Pot Stocks Update
–
Even as we’ve had other things occupying our main focus, we’ve stated continuously that traders should keep the cannabis sector on close watch. Following the complete hysteria over the industry which reached its peak shortly after we rung in the new year, we’ve seen just what we expected; consolidations leading to bounces that in many cases have been good for gains approaching those achieved by the New Year’s rush. So let’s take a look at some of the more notable performers from our long-standing watchlist. These represent just a few of the opportunities that marijuana related stocks have continued to bring us. We are not done with this sector by any means, and feel strongly that it will yield more and more gains as time goes on.

ENDEXX Corp. EDXC

We’ve had EDXC on our radar for a very long time, and it is one that didn’t lose much ground at all after pulling back off of its initial surge. Beginning at less than seven cents, 2014 has seen the stock continue to bull its way upward, touching .235 yesterday. It’s certainly a far cry from when we first came upon the stock last year, back when it was trading at roughly .015.

Cannabis Science, Inc. CBIS

CBIS has made quite an impressive bounce after consolidating off of its big run, finding support at .075; from there, it launched itself back upward for a sizable move to yesterday’s high of .1255. That marks a three-session move of 67%

Creative Edge Nutrition, Inc. FITX

The last time we looked in on FITX was on January 14th, at which time the stock was searching for support, and found it at .0174 the following day. It didn’t take long for the stock to produce yet another huge run, touching .045 during yesterday’s session. It broke above an area of previous resistance at .031, so on the next downswing, we’ll be looking for FITX to hold that level as support.

We’ve already pointed out how powerful a signal the Golden Cross can be, and FITX is yet another prime example of this. That’s why we’ve been keeping such a keen eye on our next play, because it too has a Golden Cross in the making.

Resource Ventures, Inc. REVI

REVI held its ground very well yesterday, after our bounce-call on Tuesday took it from .0074-.0105. It registered a higher low at .0085, and managed to close out the day in the green at .009. We’d like to see REVI continue to hold support in the .0075-.0085 as it works toward its Golden Cross, which if the current trend holds, could potentially occur within the next week or two.

ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARIA & Hemishperix BioPharma, Inc. HEB

We’ve been tracking both of these pharma plays for awhile, which are worthy of mentioning this morning:

ARIA

We mentioned ARIA back in October when it was trading around its 52-week low at 2.15. In Mid-December, it began a run which yesterday resulted in a high of 6.75. This morning the stock is gapping up into the 7.30-range.

ARIA has been the subject of potential buyout rumors originating in the UK, with names like GlaxxoSmithKline being tossed around. While this remains speculation at this time, the ramifications of a buyout would be huge, so this is a story we’ll continue to follow.

HEB

In the case of HEB, we’ve tracked this play since December, where it found a bottom in the low .20’s, and has performed exceptionally well into the new year. Yesterday the stock hit a high of .4978.

TSLA Options, CANN & Extended Watchlist

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA

It isn’t every day that we make options-trading picks, but when we do, they’re usually pretty accurate. On Wednesday, we floated the idea that the TSLA $165 and $170 Weekly Calls were looking attractive, and priming up for possible breakouts. As you can see on the following charts, that assumption proved to be a good one; both contracts would yield opportunities at multi-bag gains.

The $170 Calls were as low as .50 and hit a high of 3.85, representing a 670% move.

The $165 Calls traded from a low of 1.55 up to 7.95 on Thursday, an intraday swing of 413%

In order to squeeze added gains from these contracts, we’ll need to see TSLA stock to hold support at or above 168.80, and we’re looking for a break of resistance at 172.70. Pre-market trades are currently going off in the 171.50-range.

Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. CANN

CANN has been very good to us in the short while we’ve been tracking it (1st alert, 01/08, Low of 6.31). We’ve included it in every newsletter since Tuesday, and every day it has bulled its way to new highs. Yesterday, it hit 23.35, marking a rise of 270% from our initial alert, which came just six trading sessions ago.

This has been one cannabis stock that has sustained its trend quite well, even as movement in some of the others has slowed. However, just because the feeding frenzy we witnessed in the first week of the new year has calmed down, that doesn’t mean we’ve taken our eyes off of the sector. We expect pot stocks to continue to be one of the more popular items on the speculative trader’s agenda in 2014.

Sector Side Note: Easton Pharmaceutical, Inc. EAPH – One of the other marijuana stocks we’ve followed, EAPH had consolidated off of its recent big run and yesterday began to bounce. We might see more significant gain opportunities from EAPH if it can hold support above the .008-level.

Cannabis Sector Stays Hot

–

It was really hard not to make a profit off of the marijuana stocks featured in Tuesday’s final report of 2013. Nearly every single one closed in the green on significant-to-heavy volume, with some of the more notable gains coming from CBIS (+28%), HEMP (+29%), and FITX (+38%). This surge of investor interest in the sector as a whole comes in step with the first stores selling legal pot for recreational use yesterday in Colorado.

It will be important to keep an eye on the developments out of Colorado and Washington, where legalization has already been voted into law, as they will be acting as a litmus test for the rest of the nation. We know that many state legislatures have already begin to entertain the idea of following in the footsteps of the “green revolution” currently taking place out West. We’ll be certain to stay hot on the trail of this story as it unfolds, because this is an industry that is positioned for a boom; and in truth we have been way ahead of the pack in anticipation of this occurrence. Passing into 2014, our coverage of the sector has spanned three calendar years.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

We’re closing in a full year of coverage on PLUG, with our first ever mention coming last February, and it turned out to be one of our more successful plays from 2013. Our scanners picked up on this stock as it was coming off of its 52-wk low at .1155. Over the course of the spring and into summer, PLUG continued to push ever upward, running past .50 in September and reaching highs in the .70’s in September.

If it had stopped there, we still would have called that quadruple-bagger one of the year’s best alerts, but indeed, the stock has been pressing its way to new, impressive highs. The peak of which was reached in early December when we witnessed trades at 2.2399. For anyone without a calculator on hand, that’s an unbelievable move of 1839%

NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

NQ first appeared in our reports back on October 29th, and on that day, we saw a low of 8.42. The stock had recently taken a huge spill from the $24-range and we were keen to take advantage of the rebound. It has taken less than three months for that plan to come to fruition, and we are extremely pleased with the results so far. As of the high reached on Tuesday, 16.21, NQ has made an overall move for us on the order of 93%

Progress Watch Corp. PROW

On Tuesday we mentioned that while we had already followed PROW from lows at .0065 to its then-current price of .013, that we were looking for a break of the .013 -mark to put PROW in Blue Sky Breakout mode. We did indeed witness that break once the session ensued, and PROW spiked as high as .0194, giving us the chance at close to 200% in gains so far.

It made a strong close as well, holding roughly 90% of its gains, and ending the session at .019 on more than twice the 3mo. average volume, so continuing activity on PROW could get rather interesting.

TGRO, GOGO, IMUC & Extended Watchlist

Tiger Oil & Energy, Inc. TGRO

TGRO continued to push itself to new highs on Tuesday, as the stock we’ve followed from a low of .36 (12/09) reached 1.47, extending our total possible gain in just a few weeks to 308%

We’ve obviously been extremely pleased with the performance of this pick, but as is the case with any stock that sees gains this large is so small a time-frame, it is by this point that one usually considers taking profits.

For more adventurous folks who might want to leave something on the table, we would suggest the possibility of using a stop-loss, in this case, the bottom of the previous session’s candle at 1.00.

Gogo, Inc. GOGO

GOGO began to rebound on Tuesday after a recent consolidation, holding support and bouncing off of the 50DMA. Many of you will recall our coverage of this popular tech play dating back to September 16th, when we caught it as low as 14.79. It went on to hit a high of 35.77, gaining 142% before the subsequent pullback we just mentioned occurred.

We want to keep an eye on GOGO, now that it has bounced off the $23-range, and is making its way back up, with pre-market trades currently going off above $26.

As far as options trading ideas for GOGO, we are interested in the January or February $30 Calls. For example, the February Calls previously closed at 1.70. If GOGO returned to $36 by 02/22 , those contracts could be trading in the $6 area, which would be good for more than a 250% gain from current levels. .

Extended Watchlist Winners
As is usually the case, we had a few picks from off of our extended watchlist that presented opportunities on Tuesday.

Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. BASI

Daily Range: 2.75-3.80 Gained: 38%

Noah Education Holdings, Ltd. NED

Daily Range: 2.34-2.56 Gained: 9%

ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. IMUC

Daily Range: .96-1.09 Gained: 14%

Note: IMUC appears ready to continue its run today, gapping up in pre-market trading. Stay on top of this one, as several key chart indicators are beginning to look favorable. The RSI is starting to come off of being heavily oversold, and the MACD appears ready for a turnaround. As we’ve pointed out below, there is a large gap on the chart, the filling of which would spell significant gains providing it can break through the 1.20-range. We’ll be certain to have this one on our radars in the days and weeks to come.

Extended Watchlist:
ARIA, SPCHB, EROC, GNK

CETV, PROW, TGRO, TSEM, ORMP, ARIA & Extended Watchlist

Central European Media Enterprises, Inc. CETV

We’ve been tracking CETV for quite some time now, having initially alerted the stock on May 10th following a routine Form-4 (Insider Trading) scan. We learned that a large block ($75M worth) of shares had just been purchased by none other than Time Warner, and took notice immediately. We observed the stock make a monster move of 147% before being subjected to a large gap-down (hit 52-week low @ 2.03) at the end of October.

We decided to re-alert the stock on November 13th, by which time it was trading as low as 2.12. Since then, it has been stair-stepping its way back up, having seen highs in the high 3.20’s last week. We’re looking for a breach of the 50 and 200DMA’s (3.48, 3.86 respectively), following which the filling of that large gap on the chart could result in further significant increases.

Progress Watch Corp. PROW

On Friday, we mentioned that we were looking for a break of a key resistance areat on PROW, the 200DMA residing in the .007’s, and the stock indeed surpassed and held above that mark into the close. After opening at .0065, PROW would see a subsequent high of .0098, an intraday run of 51% on more than 5x its 3mo. average volume.

We warned of PROW’s extremely tight share structure, which allows for significant increases on relatively small amounts of buying pressure. The stock demonstrated our point quite succinctly.

Tiger Oil & Energy, Inc. TGRO

Also appearing in Friday’s report was another of our recent favorites in TGRO, a stock which has afforded us ample opportunities in the two weeks that we’ve been tracking it. With our first alert coming exactly two weeks ago, the stock has run from a low .36, all the way up to 1.08, good for a mega-gain of 200%

For those who may have only caught Friday’s alert, there was still the chance to make up to 43% in profit from TGRO’s daily low of .755 to the 1.08 high.

Extended Watchlist Winners

Friday’s Extended Watchlist also included a few choice picks that put up very respectable sessions to close out the week.

Tower Semiconductor Ltd. TSEM enjoyed a nice move of 26% trading in its daily range from 6.00 to 7.53.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ORMP spiked 36% running from 10.05 to 13.69.

ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARIA has been an Extended Watchlist mainstay since Nov. 12th, being as low as 2.31. Friday’s high of 7.75 represents a great run of 236% in just a little over five weeks.
