Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RSH Coming Off 52-Week Lows

Radio Shack Corp. RSH

The last time RSH appeared in one of our reports was back in mid-May, and we’ve passively monitored the stock’s gradual consolidation over the few months since. On Tuesday, it registered an annual low of .55, and in each of the proceeding sessions, has maintained higher lows as the stock hints at a rebound.

Where a week ago we were looking at a steadily declining chart, we now appear to have one with several indicators turning in a favorable direction, and the price action is responding in kind.

What we want to see now, is a break of the 20DMA of .74 to really confirm that the stock is in recovery mode. We always like running across stocks coming off their 52-week lows, so we’re going to be monitoring the stock more heavily in coming sessions. The included snapshot below illustrates the indications of a ripening chart:

Med-Cannabis Pharma, Inc. MCPI

MCPI began to pull back yesterday after providing us with a good opportunity for gains this week. When all was said and done, we saw an overall increase of 55% from .355-.55, which is quite a respectable move.

In instances such as these, when profit-taking from a rapid move up creates a dip, we like to wait in the wings observing for a low point where we might collect cheap shares to ride into the next upswing.

We also want to keep an eye out for further updates on the three retail marijuana stores the company is setting up in the towns of Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, and Hood Canal, Washington.

Blue Horseshoe: PBR, MLCG, MNGA & Extended Watchlist

Petroleo Brasileiro SA Petrobras (PBR)

We spotted this NYSE stock recently as it has bounced off of 10-year lows. PBR is going to be one that we monitor on more of a long-term basis. It has been awhile since we’ve come across a good recovery play, and the conditions on the PBR chart certainly point to the possibility of some nice upside potential.

As we point out on the following chart, PBR needs to break key resistance at 11.84 and 12.50 in order to make a run at the gap on its chart from 14.50-15.70. The filling of that gap from current prices would spell gains of more than 35%

In the meantime, we’re looking at the the PBR Options chain. The May 2nd $12 Calls could be promising, in the event that we continue to see a general recovery. Those contracts that are currently trading in the mid-.30’s could be worth as much as 3.00 if the stock returns to the $15-level.

For a quick daytrading idea, we are looking at the $11 Calls that expire at the end of the day. It appears as if PBR wants to gap down to start the session and we may see a possible dip-and-rip scenario.

ML Capital Group, Inc. MLCG

Speaking of dip-and-rip opportunities, that’s what we saw out of MLCG yesterday. After a morning gap-up, the stock came down to .09 before taking off again to hit a high of .12, a 33% intraday gain.

MLCG has proved to be a volatile mover since we’ve been following it (03/05), and has risen as much as 227% from its recent four-cent low.

MagneGas Corp. MNGA

We’ve been following MNGA throughout the week. We saw it start out by coming from a low of 1.15 on Monday, and subsequently run up to 1.78.

It then bottomed out in the low 1.20’s around mid-week, only for yesterday’s news that the company had been commissioned to provide torch-cutting fuel to four major demolition projects, carried it back up to 1.66.

We’re now watching its activity as it pulled back a third time, finding support at the 1.43-level, and is currently gapping up to reach new highs in the 1.90’s. From Monday’s low of 1.15, to this morning’s high of 1.97 marks an overall increase of 71%

DEJ, PHOT & Extended Watchlist

Dejour Energy, Inc. DEJ

We’re taking a look at DEJ this morning, an oil & gas play that is coming off of a recent bottom. Indicators on the chart seem to be ripening, so we wanted to put DEJ on everyone’s radar. As you can see, the RSI is coming off of being oversold, while the MACD is in the process of a bullish cross, with the blue bars on the histogram also flipping up to the bullish side.

Yesterday the company announced its entry into a letter of intent on a deal that will partner it with a privately-held energy company out of Singapore, and bring in a substantial amount of capital in the process:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)-Dejour Energy Inc. (TSX:DEJ) (NYSE MKT:DEJ), an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company operating in North America’s Piceance Basin and Peace River Arch regions, today announces that it has signed a Letter of Intent to create a strategic joint venture partnership with a private Singapore based energy company (‘SECO’) to develop the company’s Colorado oil and gas assets.

Upon completion of due diligence, legal documentation and requisite approvals expected prior to January 31, 2014, SECO will invest an initial sum of up to $27.5mm in 2014 and 2015 to earn an 85% share in Dejour’s interests in its Colorado properties >> FULL PR

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

Many of you know, we’ve been pounding the table on PHOT and the marijuana industry as a whole for well over a year now. Beginning back in August, we started to ramp up our coverage of this stock. At the time PHOT was trading as low as .0299, and has continued to push the envelope ever since, bringing us up to the present where PHOT is now officially in Blue Sky Breakout mode.

The stock has reached lofty highs culminating in yesterday’s run up to .14, which represents an astonishing 368% increase off of the low we just mentioned, in just a few months’ time.

As is the case with any runner that’s streaking into the Blue Sky, we want to be cautious of a potential reversal. In the event of pullback, we’d like to see support hold at the previous resistance level of .1045.

Important Industry Side Note: Not only have there been recent talks within the NY State legislature about plans for a bill that would legalize the drug in New York as it has been in Washington and Colorado, but Uruguay also recently became the first country in the world to effect nationwide legalization and regulation of growth, sales, and trade. The idea that marijuana prohibition is both ineffective and harmful on many levels is finally beginning to gain real headway in the mainstream.

RXAC & Extended Watchlist

We hope everyone enjoys the second half of this short day and tomorrow’s day off from the markets, no matter what your background, or how you celebrate the season. Year’s end is always a reflective time, when we sit and ponder both the year past and the one to come, and get a chance to recharge our batteries. However, before we settle in for a long winter’s nap, let us take the time to congratulate ourselves for squeezing in yet another big winner to Friday’s watchlist.

____

Resource Exchange of America Corp RXAC

We included RXAC in Friday’s watchlist after noticing that the company was reactivated by Florida’s secretary of state office per a filing dated Dec.19th.

After opening at .006, the stock touched a low of .0042 before running hard into the close and finishing out the day at the HOD of .0099 for a intraday gain of 136% It was the largest gainer from an Extended Watchlist that included 5 out of 6 stocks that posted gains on the day. AAPL was the one exception, however it appears that it wants to gap up and go green as well today.

This is the time of year when lots of folks are selling out of their positions to take a tax loss, which creates great opportunities for bottom-feeders. We will on the lookout for bounce plays, and any other opportunities that may come our way. We will be releasing a new pick on Wednesday that fits into the ‘bottom-bouncer’ category, so be sure to tune back in immediately following the holiday, when we will be ready to ring in the New Year with a bang.

TAO Minerals, Ltd. | TAON & Extended Watchlist

TAO Minerals Ltd. TAON

TAON maintained higher highs and higher lows on Friday, trading record volume. The stock hit a high of .0134, giving us the chance at a 49% gain, having jumped in after our bottom bounce alert early last week

Judging by Friday’s activity, and a close near the high of day at .0128, we are lead to believe that the momentum could carry into this week.

We witnessed a key break of the 20DMA at .0123, and we’ll need to see this level hold as a key area of support. The next crop of resistance shows itself at .0194 (50DMA).

On the chart-side, we can see that the Accum./Dist. has been on a sharp increase since late-November. The RSI has held support above the 50DMA, and seems to be setting up to punch through the 50-line. The blue bars on the histogram are flipping up to the bullish side, as the PPO is surpassing the 50DMA. We have a Slow STO that has recently crossed and is now trending up as well. All in all, there appears to be a ripe little chart in the making for TAON.

Dollar General Corp. DG

Dollar General has earnings coming in tomorrow morning. For those like us that like to take part in options trading, we will be looking at the $47 December Calls on DG, and thought we’d pass that along today.
