Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BBLU Update & More

Blue Earth, Inc. BBLU – Update

While we most commonly look for short-term, quick-strike trading opportunities, every so often we’ll sneak in a longer-term play, and that’s just what we did on Tuesday of last week with BBLU.

BBLU had just begun to undergo a massive selloff with no prompt from a filing or news release. This caused us to take notice and tag the stock for extended observation. Our exact words were “We’ll go ahead and reserve a slot on our radar screens for BBLU with an extended bottom-watch designation. It’s far better to show up to the party early and be ready to strike immediately upon the slightest hint of a rebound.”

As it turns out, we were absolutely spot-on in our assessment of BBLU and how to approach it. After ultimately bottoming out at a low of .04 at the end of last week, the recovery has been a thing of beauty. BBLU caught fire and ran back to a subsequent high of .23, regaining its lost ground just as we suspected. That’s an incredible 475% swing!

As we point out on the chart below, things are still looking ripe for yet another leg-up, so we’ll keep a keen eye on BBLU in the sessions ahead.

Added Notes:

Speaking of bottom-plays, we have a couple of other familiar stocks that are just now trading at their own recent lows, and could be in line for recoveries.

We’ve been tagging them in our extended watchlists recently, and we’re going to have them both on a more intensive watch moving forward.

Fresh Options Idea

We’ll look to further our success with options plays this week with an idea we feel has good potential based on a favorable earnings report.

Dollar General, Inc. (DG) is gapping up this morning into the $79-range, so we’re going to be on the lookout for a possible dip-and-rip situation, whereupon we’ll be tracking DG Weekly $78-80.50 Calls for possible daytrade and/or swing trades into tomorrow’s session.

DG, AZFL, GERN & Today’s Extended Watchlist

Dollar General Corp. DG

Yesterday, we pointed to Dollar General as an options trading candidate as we were anticipating their earnings being released today. The report, out this morning, exceeded the expectations of many, and alluded to a total sales increase of almost 11%.

Earnings Per Share increased by roughly 25% as well as the company reported its most favorable Q3 results ever. Folks interested should definitely tune into this morning’s conference call.

Despite having such positive financials, the company issued a cautious guidance along with the report, so we want to be wary moving forward. Another reason to listen in to the call and get the 411 on DG:

The Company will hold a conference call on Tuesday, December 11, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. CT/10:00 a.m. ET, hosted by Rick Dreiling, chairman and chief executive officer, and David Tehle, chief financial officer. If you wish to participate, please call (866) 710-0179 at least 10 minutes before the conference call is scheduled to begin. The pass code for the conference call is “Dollar General.” The call will also be broadcast live online at www.dollargeneral.com under “Investor Information, Conference Calls and Investor Events.” A replay of the conference call will be available through Wednesday, December 26, 2012, and will be accessible online or by calling (334) 323-7226. The pass code for the replay is 56954859.

Amazonas Florestal Ltd AZFL

AZFL hit a new high on Monday, reaching .09, and marking a gain of roughly 100% since we first began talking about this play.

With a very interesting backstory, and a currently well-performing stock, AZFL is one that we will continue to watch on a more long-term basis, well into the New Year.

AZFL is engaged in environmentally-safe and sustainable forestry practices in Brazil. Through cyclical and selective harvesting, the company preserves the integrity of its portion of the amazon rainforest. In addition to purchasing the necessary carbon offset credits, Amazonas also has plans to use the low grade biomass (upper branches and other material unsuitable for timber) to fuel an on-site generator to further negate consumption, as well as for sale of the surplus to local power authorities.

Geron Corp. GERN

Following our alert of GERN yesterday, the stock traded in a range from 1.17-1.43, making gains of up to 22% possible. We will be keeping this stock on our radars as the week continues.

CirTran Corp. CIRC

Another nice gainer from our extended watchlist yesterday, CIRC saw a daily range of .0019-.0034 for a possible 80% intraday gain.
