Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NQ Review & More

NQ Mobile, Inc.  NQ

Our coverage of NQ stretches all the way back to the Fall of 2013 when the stock made a huge run, and we tracked it to a similar albeit smaller-scale spike in October, so we are quite familiar with this play. We have good reason to re-assess NQ this morning in the wake of an interesting PR, coupled with a good positioning of the chart.

In terms of the NQ chart, there a couple of finer points that we’ll point out on the following snapshot:

This morning’s PR relates to a big open market stock repurchase by management which seems to be fueling NQ in the premarket. >>> VIEW PR  


Cannabis Coverage:

A few of the marijuana-related stocks we were mentioning yesterday morning managed to put up some solid numbers over the course of the day.

CBIS traded in a range from .068-.08 (+17%) on roughly 4X its monthly average volume.

MCIG did slightly better as recorded a 19% move from .15 to .178, trading more than twice its average volume.

EAPH also had a heavy volume day to the tune of roughly 3X its average, and made a healthy jump of 21% as it traded from its open at .024 to a high of .029.

As medical and recreational marijuana acceptance continues to spread, we’ll need to keep a close eye on these and many other cannabis plays, as we tend to believe that growth in this arena will be more substantial in 2015 than any previous year.

A few other pot plays to watch this week: WDHR, NRTI, MDCN, LATF, VPOR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: VSR, IBIO & More

Versar, Inc. VSR

VSR continued to play the role of this week’s most interesting pick on Thursday. The action in this play has been significant, and it has led to several potentially profitable swings since we first picked it up on Tuesday at a low of 3.70.

Yesterday we re-iterated our interest, stating that the kind of volatility we had seen in VSR to that point could certainly lead to further bounce opportunities, and we were correct in that assumption. In early trading, we witnessed a swing from 6.56 to the daily high of 7.817, a 19% move. We then watched as VSR spent a good portion of the afternoon in pullback mode before bouncing off of support at in the 5.20’s.

The stock is up in premarket trading again today with highs of over $6 so far, so for the fourth straight day we’ll have our eye on possible bounce action from VSR

Eagle Bulk Shipping EGLE

We tagged EGLE yesterday morning on the heels of a financial restructuring that led to a serious boost in PPS. The stock was up so much in fact, it was briefly halted early in the session. When trading resumed at 11AM, the stock still went on to make one heck of a move.

From an initial low of 12.02, the EGLE barreled its way up to a high of 17.00, a solid 41% increase on the day on significantly high volume.

iBio, Inc. IBIO

IBIO is a play that we’ve been tracking for some time, and it too posted a notable swing yesterday afternoon, as it rose up from 1.63 to touch 1.93, an 18% increase. The stock is also gapping up in the premarket this morning, having re-breached the $2-mark.

Repros Therapeutics, Inc. RPRX

This is a stock we caught this morning, noticing that it is gapping down 52-week lows in the pre-market. The company had some negatively received FDA news this morning. This kicks in our ‘vulture’ mindset, where we monitor a struggling play for signs of a turnaround and subsequent bounce. We can’t even begin to recall how many times we’ve turned a beaten-down stock into a winning trade on the rebound but rest assured, its enough for us to keep a close watch over RPRX moving forward.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GRCU, SPEX, Options & Extended Watchlist

Green Cures & Botanical Distribution Inc. GRCU

We made sure to tag this long-time favorite yesterday on its first day trading as GRCU (Formerly TTDZ), and the stock made a couple of nice swings for us.

It played out a dip and rip scenario, trading up to .039 first thing in the morning before coming back to bounce off of the ,029 -level and making a subsequent 21% move to .035. It dipped back to .029 once again before running back to .0325, tacking on an extra 12% to possible gains for the day.

Moving forward, we’d like to see GRCU hold support above yesterday’s swing-low of .029, and attempt to break through resistance at .039.

Green Cures’ product line is Green Magic, which is sold at allbotanical.com; They also have a product called Hemjoba, a phytocannabinoid (compound found in cannabis) topical pain relieving lotion.

With some key changes in management coming as well, we won’t want to let GRCU slip off of our radars in the foreseeable future.

Spherix, Inc. SPEX

After including SPEX in our Extended Watchlist yesterday, we were especially pleased with the monster session it put forth. After opening at 1.69, it traded all the way up to 3.20; a solid 89% move on huge volume.  If we’ve said it once we’ve said it a hundred times. Plays like these are exactly why it’s so important to monitor our Extended Watchlist plays as intensively as those that we feature. Hidden gems like this are turning up all the time.

SPEX has already traded in a range from 3.35-4.25 in pre-market trading this morning, so we’ll be open to the possibility of a nice bounceplay wif and when eventual profit-taking begins to pull this one back. Those just showing up to this party will want to be on the lookout for that reversal, and be ready to snipe some quick gains on a possible dip-and-rip.

Options Calls Continue To Pay Dividends on Record Bull Run

All of the big-board momentum plays that we’ve been tracking options in since last week continued to yield us prime opportunities yesterday. Multiple times, we’ve reminded readers of the high potential in PCLN, FB, TSLA, GOGO, DDD, and of course, AAPL.

If people were in-sync with our line of thinking heading into yesterday’s session, it’s highly likely that they came away with some serious profit trading options calls in any of these plays.

The bullish trend in the overall market hasn’t yet exhibited any clear signs of slowing down, even as it pushes to new all-time highs.
