Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Reviewing a Monster Monday

Monday’s Huge Winners

We kicked off the week in grand fashion yesterday, with what was easily the most successful single session for stocks we’ve had so far in 2016. We had an incredible three picks, all energy-related stocks, make gains of at least a hundred percent concurrent with the continued bolstering of oil prices.

SandRidge Energy, Inc. SDOC

We continued to track SDOC yesterday, after our mention in Friday’s premarket report netted a chance at up to 35% in intraday gains (.05-0674), and the surge was sustained and multiplied. After gapping up to open at .075, the stock bulled its way to an afternoon high of .154, for a solid double-bagger (105%).

From our observed low of a nickel on Friday, yesterday’s high marked a two-session swing of 208%

______

Penn Virginia Corp. PVAH

Undoubtedly our top-gaining pick of the day, PVAH was off to the races promptly at the open.

It was a pleasure to watch as it spent the entire session in beast-mode, ramping its way up from .112 to .38 on immense volume! That’s an increase of 239% on the day, so big cheers go out to any of our readers who were able to take advantage of this gem!

______

Goodrich Petroleum Corp. GDPM

GDPM came up big as well with an excellent intraday run, while managing to hold a majority of its daily advances into the close.

It started out with a rip from .0875-.1998, an intraday move of 128%, and came in at .174 at the closing bell, finishing the day on roughly 5x its 3-month average volume.

______

Linn Co. LLC (LNCO)

While LNCO didn’t crack the double-bag threshold, it certainly had a solid session and came close. The stock traded in a range from .95-1.70, offering up intraday gains if up to 79%

______

Breightburn Energy Partners, Inc. BBEP

BBEP also put forth a modest, yet respectable performance, rounding out our group of gainers for the day with a run from .80-1.25. That gave folks a shot at gains as high as 56% on the day.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SDOC Recap & More


SandRidge Energy, Inc. SDOC

Our mention of SDOC in Friday’s premarket report turned out to very well-timed. We’ve had the stock on our radars since early this year, and  pushed it to the back burner for awhile, having so many other items of interest on the table.

We circled back around to it on Friday, just in time to catch a solid single session performance as the stock ran from a low of a nickel up to .0674; that works out to a 35% intraday increase on fairly heavy volume.

We’ll continue to keep an eye on SDOC, which appears to be ready to gap-up slightly today, for a breach of the 50DMA at .08.


Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. CLDX

We’re going to tag CLDX this morning as a bottom-watch play with serious rebound potential. Our bottom-feeder alerts are sounding loudly as we’re seeing the stock take an absolute nosedive on news of the cancellation of the company’s late-stage brain tumor vaccine study.

We’re always on the lookout for knee-jerk selloffs (which often transition into recovery plays), and CLDX has lost roughly half its value solely on the perceived effect of the announcement.

It’s worth it to mention that the company still has seven clinical trials underway on other products, so the discontinued project is by no means the only thing in the company’s pipeline.

We’ll be interested to track the action in CLDX in coming sessions as investors adjust to this morning’s events.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Potential Bottom-Play, HMCP Update & More

GAIN Capital Holdings, Inc. GCAP

GCAP began to get hammered on the heels of yesterday’s announcement by the Swiss National Bank that it would move interest rates caused some volatility in the Swiss franc.

The stock is still getting crushed in the premarket today despite the fact that the move by the Swiss does not materially affect the company, as stated in a commentary released by BCAP yesterday afternoon. >>> READ PR

Currently it has been beaten down to the 6.50-area; its lowest levels since October, so what we’re going to want to do is monitor this play for an eventual bottom-bounce. This is exactly the type of knee-jerk pullback we like to catch, as the recovery can often be extremely profitable for quick-witted traders.


Heritage Media Corp. HMCP

We first brought HMCP to our readers’ attention on New Year’s Eve, and discussed it most recently last Thursday. With such a low float, HMCP is susceptible to rapid movement on relatively little buying/selling pressure, and in the intervening time between those two reports, we witnessed a series of heavy swings in the stock cumulatively totaling 200%

We pointed out that the patterns were making a bullish flag formation on the chart, and it did turn out to be a prelude to further gains. On Monday we observed a low of .003, and yesterday the stock registered a new high for us at .0077, which adds another 156% swing to the already impressive moves we had witnessed previously.

Indicators are still looking ripe as illustrated on the following snapshot, so HMCP will be something that we keep a close eye on into next week.
