Blue Horseshoe: EWSI & Extended Watchlist

E-Waste Systems, Inc. EWSI

Following our last mention of EWSI, on August 21st, the stock was trading at a low of .0425, and in just six trading sessions, the stock had topped out at .10, racking in gains to the tune of 135%

Following that run, the stock gradually consolidated, as it searched for a bottom throughout the month of September. This morning, we are entering EWSI back into the conversation, as it appears to have found that bottom, and begun to show signs of another uptrend.

The stock breached its 50DMA at .043, and managed to close at that level. The chart is looking extremely ripe, as we’ve pointed out with the annotations below. We definitely want to keep a sharp eye on this stock today, and heading into next week. A return to its previous swing high could mean another triple digit gain from EWSI.

VHGI, Form-4 Scan & Extended Watchlist

VHGI is an old time favorite of ours (we’ve followed this play since back in 2011) that has crept back into focus. As we encourage our readers to do on a regular basis, we received some correspondence from a subscriber who wanted to be sure that we had noticed yesterday’s 8-K submission by the company.The report states that VHGI has obtained roughly $65 Million in new funding.

The chart is exhibiting some promising conditions as well, having made higher lows for the past four sessions. We’ve pointed to a couple other key indicators that would seem to suggest that it is a good time to begin monitoring VHGI more closely.

Form-4 Scan Vol.II
Most of you will recall our last Form-4 (Insider Trading) Scan back in May which yielded some pretty impressive results. It was that scan that first caused us to become familiarized with stocks such as CETV, and ETRM, which would each go on to produce gains of 30% or more.

We thought it was time for another round of checking for insider buying activity, which can often be a good indicator of the level of confidence an officer has in the future value of his/her company.

We are going to add these to the pool of stocks we are tracking, and see if they fare as well as our last batch of Form-4 plays.

TCPS, FNMA, FMCC & Extended Watchlists

TechnoConcepts, Inc. TCPS

We called for caution on TCPS in yesterday’s report, indicating our belief that a pullback was likely to soon be upon us. Fridays are often profit-taking days, and after six straight sessions of gains (420% in total at yesterday’s high, from original alert at .0025) it’s difficult for us not to chalk this up as a win and take our hefty profits.

While there is a chance the momentum could carry over to next week, at the very least, we’ll be looking to sell half of our position to lock in our initial investment, and ride the rest of the way on the house’s money.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – FNMA & FMCC

FNMA and FMCC appeared in the extended watchlist both May 15th and May 16th, and since that time, have each made sizable increases:

FNMA – Low (05/16):1.20 – Yesterday’s High: 2.20 – Gained: 83%

FMCC – Low (05/15): 1.11 – Yesterday’s High: 2.05 – Gained: 85%

Both of these have been trading copious volume, so we want to be on the lookout for a continuation of the recent uptrends. In the event of a pullback, we feel there would be significant bounce opportunity.

Solar Sector Watchlist:
It looks as if the solar plays we mentioned on Tuesday are beginning to heat up. We are going to be paying attention to this group of stocks as we head into the long weekend:

ASTI, RSOL, CSIQ, HSOL, FSLR, SCTY, JKS, LDK

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Afternoon Updates

Apple, Inc. AAPL Options

Apple CEO Tim Cook and his associates handled this afternoon’s Senate inquiry as well as could be reasonably expected as committee members pulled back the curtain on Apple’s international tax status. They simply stated that Apple has done nothing seedy (if you’ll forgive the pun) and that any problems lay within the existing corporate tax code.

The stock did dip early in the morning as we suspected it might, for a time there was an opportunity to make a quick profit on the Puts we mentioned as the stock fell below the pre-market low. Once AAPL found support off of the $434 level, and got back above $435, it became clear that the action was moving back to the Calls. All in all, the day’s activity has thus far played out very similarly to our morning predictions.

For now, we are sticking with the $435 and $440 Calls as intraday trading ideas, while still keeping in mind what we said yesterday; that if Apple could break past $445, then we’d be looking to move up to the $445 and possibly $450 Calls. As of the release of this publication, AAPL last traded at $442.80

TechnoConcepts, Inc. TCPS
We put TCPS on Blue Sky Breakout alert this morning, and turned out to be mighty glad that we did. Opening up at .0026, the stock pulled back ever so slightly to .0025, before raging upward to touch a high of .0061, for a rapid intraday gain of up to 144%

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI
ASTI came off of our solar watchlist from this morning, and traded in a range from .96-1.33, which represents a move of 39%

AAPL, AUY, TCPS, EVRM, RSOL & Extended Watchlist

Apple, Inc. AAPL Options

Our coverage of Apple Options just got a whole lot more interesting. At the time of our afternoon updates yesterday, the $440 Calls we were looking at ran from 7.75 to 9.05, adding 17% to our gains. What happened following the market close was quite unexpected.

Most of you will have already heard about the big headline now surrounding Apple- because of the company’s exploitation of foreign tax loopholes, it has avoided paying billions in U.S. taxes on profits that it has moved to three shell companies in Ireland. The bills Apple has avoided through what is being referred to by some as ‘tax gimmickry”, could play a role in the reform of US corporate tax law, but it is yet unclear as to whether Apple will be subject to some form of penalty for this financial sleight-of-hand. CEO Tim Cook is set to appear before a Senate subcommittee to respond to the accusations.

Regardless of the final outcome of this latest development, we are readying ourselves for the possibility that Apple may see an interuption in its recent bullish run. As of this moment, it is uncertain as to how this will affect the overall trajectory of the stock, thus we want to remain extremely vigilant. Should this story not have a great effect, we would still be looking at the $435 and $440 Calls. However, if AAPL doesn’t hold support at this morning’s pre-market low of 438.24, we will need to turn our attention to Puts at the same strike prices of $435 and $440.

The key here will be quickly thinking on our feet once a diagnosis of the current conditions can be made.

Yamana Gold Inc. AUY Options
Also among yesterday’s Options Trading coverage was Yamana Gold. The AUY $11.00 calls we alerted in our afternoon update report (trading at .60 at the time) ended up closing at their high-of-day (.70), for a quick gain of 17%

TechnoConcepts, Inc. TCPS
TCPS is a momentum play that we are putting on watch today for a possible continuation of its recent surge. The stock broke its 3-year high yesterday, and has been seeing an increase in volume over the past few sessions. We’d like to keep a cautious eye on this one moving forward, as it is currently in Blue Sky Breakout mode.

Evermedia Group, Inc. EVRM
EVRM hit a new high of day into the close yesterday. We like the activity we’ve observed since Friday, as the stock has held support off of .0012, and yesterday hit a high of .0018, marking an increase in our possible gains from 33% to 50% We want to continue to watch EVRM moving forward.

Real Goods Solar, Inc. RSOL
RSOL also hit a new high into the close yesterday, trading at 6.43 at the time of our alert, and going on to touch 7.17, increasing our possibility for intraday gains up to 57% (From its low of 4.55) With all the momentum in solar stocks recently, we want to keep an eye on the sector as a whole. Here are a handful of related stocks to watch in the field: ASTI, CSIQ, HSOL, FSLR, SCTY, JKS, LDK.
