PLUG, BLDP, MACK & Extended Watchlist

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG
–
We had a feeling that PLUG was going to continue its run yesterday, as stated in our daily report, and once again our instincts served us well. The momentum built up in this stock on Wednesday as it made a 23% move to close out the session on more than 6x the 3mo. average volume was impossible to ignore.

After opening at the key resistance point we outlined (1.45) PLUG briefly dipped to 1.43 and then barreled upward as it touched a high of 1.96, an intraday gain of 37% on roughly 14x the average volume. The momentum continued to build in PLUG and we continued to follow along closely. Remember, our coverage of this play goes back a long way, since the stock was trading in the .11-range.

This morning, the stock is gapping up above 2.00. The current pre-market high of 2.19 represents a gain of 1804% from the low following our first ever PLUG alert back on Feb 28th. The gain from our recent re-alert at a low of 1.04, at this morning’s high, stands at 111%

PLUG has certainly surpassed any expectations we had for it, and as you can see on the chart below, it appears currently overbought, which means the time to take profits off of the table is fast approaching. For newcomers, we believe the best action would be to patiently await a dip, and subsequent rebound, as has occurred several times this year.

Ballard Power Systems, Inc. BLDP

BLDP appeared on our extended watchlist on Wednesday, at which time the stock was trading at a low of 1.34. This morning, we are witnessing a gap-up on a PR that hit the wire post-market yesterday, with trades currently going off in the 1.80-range. We’ll want to keep an eye on the activity here as we close out the week, so we’re reserving a spot on our tickers for BLDP.

VANCOUVER, Dec. 5, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Ballard Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP)(TSX: BLD) has announced the signing of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Van Hool NV, Europe’s fourth largest bus manufacturer, in support of the manufacture and further deployment of zero emission fuel cell buses.>>>FULL STORY

Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. MACK

MACK is another play we’ve been tracking recently, mentioning it for the first time on November 8th, when it was trading as low as 2.40. Like the previous play, MACK is gapping up this morning to the tune of more than 100% with shares changing hands for more than 4.80.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (MACK) today announced that Phase 1 data evaluating safety of the novel agent MM-302 in patients with advanced HER2-positive breast cancer will be presented at the 2013 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), December 10-14, 2013 in San Antonio, Texas.  >>> FULL STORY

TSLA, PLUG, ETRM, OMED & Extended Watchlist

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options
–
Back on November 29th, we were noticing that conditions on the TSLA chart had been exhibiting signs of a coming uptrend, and as a result, we presented a few options trading ideas that we felt had a reasonable chance of success. In particular, the 12/21 $120 Calls, and the 12/27 $130 Calls. We were rewarded for our interest, as the stock did indeed find its legs and begin to run following that report.

Since then we’ve seen some major moves out of those contracts, as the $120 Calls ended up trading from a low of 8.40, all the way up to yesterday’s closing price of 25.46, a monstrous 203% gain. The $130 Calls saw their low at 5.03, and ended up closing at 17.07. That was good for an even larger 239% rip.

Chartwise, it appears as if resistance is sitting at $145.65, $151, and the 50DMA of $159.45, and there is a gap on the chart to fill from $160-176, so a push past those key resistance points could lead to more pronounced increases. We would continue to take advantage of the added gains on these contracts, and in the event of a sustained uptrend, would have to consider rolling our strike price up to higher level that we believe would still be pushed into the money.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

PLUG has been an old favorite of ours from last March when we caught it on our scanners coming off its 52-wk lows (.1155) and we’ve mentioned it on multiple occasions since that time. We’ve followed this play all the way up to current levels, which as a result of recent favorable reports on the company’s finances, have reached all the way up to this morning’s pre-market high of 1.41. That represents an increase of 1121% off of lows following our initial alert.

We’ll be continuing to monitor PLUG closely, and will certainly want to take part in today’s conference call/webcast in which the CEO will address the reasoning behind his statement that the company is on pace for a “blowout quarter.”, as well as other issues.

LATHAM, N.Y., Dec 04, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — Plug Power Inc.

Plug Power expects orders to range between 30M and 40M USD for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Andy Marsh will be joined by COO, Keith Schmid, and Vice President of Sales, Erik Hansen, to answer questions.

EnteroMedics, Inc. ETRM

ETRM was part of yesterday’s Extended Watchlist, and the stock went on to put up quite a performance. After touching a low of 1.48 shortly before 10:30am, ETRM would spend the rest of the day pressing upward to its high of day and closing price at 2.24. This marks an impressive intraday run of 51% on nearly 20x its 3mo. average volume.

We’ll certainly want to keep an eye on a stock with current momentum of this magnitude.

OncoMed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. OMED

Another winner from yesterday’s Extended Watchlist, OMED traded in a range from 22.10-31.99, which marks an intraday move of 45% Quite an impressive feat for a big-board stock in this price range.

Congrats to anyone who caught this, or any of the opportunities for significant profits afforded by the excellent calls in yesterday’s report.

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.

STXS, JAKK, FNMA, FMCC, PGCX & Extended Watchlist

Stereotaxis, Inc. STXS
–
After appearing in our Extended Watchlist yesterday morning, STXS made a power move from 3.60-5.69, good for a 58% profit. While our timing on this alert was as close to perfect as we could hope, it certainly was no surprise. This isn’t the first time we’ve ridden this stock to large gains.We first mentioned STXS on July 30th, and at the time, it was trading as low as 2.33. By 08/06, the stock would go on to hit 10.85, for an unbelievable move of 366%

As you can see below, there is a large gap on the chart to fill from 5.64-8.02, so we’re on the lookout for a break past 5.70, which could trigger a possible move up into 8.00-range.

JAKKS Pacific, Inc. JAKK

We caught JAKK on our morning scanner yesterday as the stock was gapping up significantly. What resulted following the bell was a solid day’s performance, as we observed a run from a low of 5.68, and a subsequent high of 6.35, good for a gain of 12%

Fannie Mae FNMA & Freddie Mac FMCC

We tracked this mortgage-lending pair earlier this year to big gains, following them from the $1-range all the way up to the $5-range. (FNMA 1.20-5.44, FMCC 1.11-5.00)

We thought it was high time to re-introduce them to our watchlist, as they are breaking out once again. If past results are any indicator to the kind of gains we can expect on the current run, we’re strapping in for what could be another wild ride.

FNMA Chart

FMCC Chart

Virtual Sourcing, Inc. PGCX

PCGX comes to our attention today as a possible bottom bounce play. We’ve seen it maintain higher highs and higher lows coming off of a recent bottom.

The stock is known for making big swings in the past. Back in August it ran from .16 to 1.10, so there is a precedent for large gains from current levels.

SEEK, MJNA, PHOT, CLSN, BLDP

DRYS, FREE & Extended Watchlist

DryShips, Inc. DRYS

DRYS appeared in Tuesday morning’s extended watchlist, after which time we observed a low of 3.40. Yesterday the stock hit a high of 3.99, marking an overnight move of 17% This morning, it looks like it is gapping up, so we will be monitoring this play today for added gains that could result from the current momentum.

Our first ever mention of DRYS was back on August 22nd, when the stock was trading around 2.20. From that point, yesterday’s high represents a move of 81% As you can see on the chart included, DRYS has been on a steady uptrend since it first hit our radar.

FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

We had FREE on bottom-watch back in July, and it wasn’t too long after that when we saw the stock touch a low of .1652 (08/01). After generally trading sideways for the month of August, FREE began a rise that has lasted all the way through this month, culminating in yesterday’s .59 high, a move of  257% off of its bottom.

This morning it looks like FREE is gapping up into the mid-.60’s range, so it seems further gains are on the menu. Today the company reported details of a deal that will clean a significant amount of debt from its balance sheet:

Athens, Greece,, Sep 26, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — FreeSeas Inc. (Nasdaq CM: FREE)(“FreeSeas” or the “Company”), a transporter of dry-bulk cargoes through the ownership and operation of a fleet of six Handysize vessels and one Handymax vessel, announced today that it has entered into an assignment and amendment agreement (the “Assignment”) with Deutsche Bank Nederland N.V.(“Deutsche Bank”), a Magna Group affiliate fund Hanover Holdings I, LLC (“Hanover”), Crede CG III, Ltd (“Crede”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Crede Capital Group, and various wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.Mr. Ion G.
