Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RUSS Recap, Gap-Up List & More

Direxion Daily Russia Bear 3X ETF (RUSS)
–
A few weeks back, on February 23rd, we radared the RUSS, which is a fund that trades with an inverse relationship with the Russian economy.

The past week has been particularly troubling for Russia, as its central bank slashed the primary interest rate by a full percent while revealing that its growth forecast predicted a shrinking of the economy by as much as 4% this year.

These and other economic curve-balls, including the continued lag in oil prices, have fueled a healthy rebound in the RUSS from the recent low we observed at 11.22. Friday’s high of 15.77 marked a 40% swing in a matter of eight trading sessions.

With some holding the belief that an even more severe and protracted economic meltdown could be in the cards for Russia, we’ll want to monitor RUSS on an ongoing basis.

Morning Gapper Watchlist

These are a few stocks that are cropping up on our scanner this morning as they gap up in the premarket. We’ll be on the lookout for the possibilities of continued momentum and/or dip-and-rip scenarios:

Microvision, Inc. MVIS  has been in blue-sky breakout mode for the past several sessions, and is gapping up today on the heel of the following PR:

Midstates Petroleum Co. Inc. MPO  is trading up in early activity this morning on a Q4 earnings and revenue beat:

OMEX  is also up considerably, following Friday’s news of its entry into a financing agreement to facilitate offshore mineral and resource exploration.The company also has an earnings conference call slated for 10AM today, to discuss the contents of this morning’s filings:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AXN, JDST Recaps & More


Aoxing Pharmaceutical Co. Inc. AXN

AXN emerged as one of the day’s most interesting plays following its inclusion in Friday morning’s premarket report. After briefly touching an early morning low of 1.15, the stock would go on to register a subsequent high of 1.63.

That works out to an intraday increase of 42%, and it came on roughly fourteen times the three-month average volume.

After a fairly strong close (1.49) in which the stock held well over half of its daily gains, AXN appears to be gapping up slightly this morning, having risen back into the 1.50’s. This type of activity is characteristic of a classic “momo play”, so we’ll have an eye peeled for AXN as things kick off today to watch for a possible continuation of that momentum.

Pervasip Corp. PVSP

When PVSP appeared in one of our daily reports in late January, we referred to it as a super-subpenny ‘bottom-bouncer’, and it has held to that description in the truest sense over the past several weeks. Less than two weeks ago, the stock was trading at the lowest possible increment (.0001), and toward the end of last week it began to ramp its way up.

On Friday, there was a Golden Cross of the 50DMA over the 200DMA, and PVSP traded as high as .0009, which marks a rapid jump of 800% over our recently observed low. In order for us to remain interested in this play, it will need to maintain support at or above .0005 on any pullbacks.

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bear 3X ETF (JDST)

JDST made a modest yet notable move on Friday as well., This one also appeared on our extended watchlist, and we were pleased with its steady uptrend that lasted  throughout most of the morning.

From an initial low of 11.40, the stock pushed its way to 12.60, a gain of 12%

Being a gold miners bear ETF, JDST saw this increase as the release of healthy jobs numbers and the Dollar at an 11-year high coincided closely with gold nearing a three-month low.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FRO Review & More

Frontline Ltd. FRO

FRO has definitely turned out to be one of our biggest success stories of the past several weeks. Just to refresh people’s memories, we caught this play coming off of some of its lowest prices of the year back on December 1st. Our observed low on FRO was 1.33 at that time, and in two huge upward moves the stock has traversed quite a bit of territory since then.

Yesterday FRO achieved a high of 5.05, which marks a total increase of 280% in just under six weeks! As we did after the initial push, we could now see a possible dip-and-rip scenario. We’ll remain interested provided the stock maintains support at or above the $3-area on the pullback.

As we can see on the chart above, there is a potential Golden Cross in the making, and with tens of millions of barrels of crude to be held on tankers over the next few months given the current oil landscape, this may not be the last time we point to big moves from FRO.

BARCHART.COM is currently giving FRO a “100% Buy” rating.

Twitter, Inc. TWTR – Options

Following up on one of the options ideas we were mulling over on TWTR last week; the TWTR February $40 Calls. When we first mentioned them last Wednesday (Saw a low of 2.15), we mentioned that they “could be in line for significant gains if TWTR continues to recover off of recent lows” and we did in fact see some substantial movement.

Those Feb. $40’s hit a high of 3.70 during the day yesterday, for an overall increase of 72% in a span of just four sessions! Even further gains could be forthcoming provided TWTR continues the current trend, so we’ll want to reserve it a slot on our watchlist as we head into mid-week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SINO & PBR Updates

Sino-Global Shipping America Ltd. SINO

In yesterday’s newsletter, we mentioned that SINO was gapping up sharply in premarket trading, and as a result we would be on the lookout for a classic dip-and-rip pattern. That’s precisely what we got as SINO would settle into a low of 3.31 very early on, before springing back to run to a daily high of 4.69, which incidentally happened to be a new annual high as well.

In total the move was enough to secure up to 41% in intraday profits on incredible volume, to the tune of more than 58x the 3-month average.

This definitely signals a strong week for us; it marks the second consecutive session that a stock appearing in our pre-market report went on to set a new one-year high!

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR- Options

The PBR Calls that we tagged in yesterday’s pre-market report fared extremely well as PBR once again surged past the $17-mark, and even cracked $18 briefly in the afternoon. The bullish run resulted in the $16.50 Calls trading up from .92 to 1.35, for a 47% intraday run, and the $17 Calls making an even better move. They started from a low .56 and spiked 105% to 1.15.

At this point our winning calls involving the PBR options chain, spanning back from early this spring, are too many to count. It has indeed been a wellspring that we’ve returned to time and again, and have almost always met with positive results.

Moving forward, we’ll be looking to roll our strike price up a bit to the $17 & $17.50 Calls, and in the event that PBR re-breaches and holds the $18-level, possibly even consider moving it up further to the $18’s and $18.50’s.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DRIO Update & More

LabStyle Innovations Corp. DRIO

After bringing us cumulative gains of nearly 150% over the course of two spikes since we first picked up on DRIO back on on August 26th, the stock continued to pile on the opportunities yesterday.

We saw it open at a .13 and make a solid 26% intraday run to .164 just prior to the close on nearly twice the one-month average volume. The chart still looks very good, with the RSI just having crossed above oversold status, and the MACD looking bullish as well. As we’ve pointed out below, we caught the bottom on this one perfectly, seeing a steady uptrend since our first tag of DRIO.

Hemispherx BioPharma, Inc. HEB

HEB showed continued resilience in coming up off recent lows after appearing in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. The stock would trade in a range from .303-.364 on more than 12x the average volume. That was good for a modest yet solid intraday run of 20% and we’ll continue to keep it on our radar moving forward.

Yesterday’s run was fueled in part by the announcement that the company would be working with USAMRIID (U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease) in studying the effectiveness of two drugs against the ebola virus. >>>Read PR Here

Alkame Holdings, Inc. ALKM

We’re observing significant trading action from ALKM in the pre-market this morning, catching it off one of our routine scans. We noticed the company had a notable distribution agreement in Hawaii this morning which you can >>Read Here. One look at the chart shows that ALKM has recently been recovering from its 52-week lows. This is a stock that we will definitely want to put on our radar as we head into mid-week.
