PLUG, IACH, CALI, AAPL & Extended Watchlist

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

PLUG turned in a solid session yesterday, as anticipated, following its appearance in our morning report. Initially, the stock opened at 1.04, made a 12.5% move to 1.1699, and would settle back to the 1.04 level before running up to a daily high of 1.28 for an added 23% intraday gain opportunity.

Following a strong close just a tick below the high-of-day (1.27) we’re going to be following this play once again, as the momentum could easily carry it even higher. As you can see on the chart below the next key area of resistance to watch for a break comes at the 1.45 level. We’ll need to see the stock hold support above a dollar, or it could pull back to fill the gap on the chart back to the .80-range.

Information Architects Corp. IACH

We’ve been tracking IACH via our Extended Watchlist for most of the week. The stock recently made a huge 1800% move from .001-.019, prompting us to put it on our radar,  monitoring for pullbacks and subsequent bounce opportunities, and it delivered just that.

After dipping back to .008, we saw a rebound back to .013, and a strong close at .012. Gains of up to 63% could have been achieved on the bounce.

China Auto Logistics, Inc. CALI

We also want to keep an eye on CALI, which popped up on our pre-market scan as it is gapping up heavily on the heels of a morning press release.

TIANJIN, CHINA, Dec 05, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “CALI”) (NASDAQ: CALI), a top seller in China of luxury imported automobiles, and a leading provider of auto-related services, reported today that on November 30, 2013, its subsidiary, Tianjin Binhai Shisheng Trading Group Co., Ltd. (“Shisheng”) signed an equity transfer agreement with Hezhong International Development Co, Ltd. to acquire Tianjin Zhonghe Auto Sales Service Co., the owner and operator of the Airport International Automall in Tianjin (the “Automall”). The Company plans to develop the Automall into a key site for what it believes can become one of the largest used car businesses in China.

Apple, Inc. AAPL Options

With the way AAPL has been gaining a head of steam lately, it seems plausible to imagine the stock surpassing $600 as we head into the new year. As a result, we are putting the 01/18 $585 Calls on our radar which closed at 12.25 yesterday, meaning the break-even point is 597.50. What we’re looking for, is to see the stock push past to the $610-15 level in January, which could provide triple-digit gains for the 01/18 $585 Calls.

The company finally signed a deal with China Mobile to get its iPhones on their network, as reported by the The Wall Street Journal this morning. China Mobile is comprised of over 700 million users, which obviously represents huge opportunity (in a market more than twice the population of the US) for Apple to boost foreign sales moving forward.

DUSS, ILST, TSLA, AAPL, ATRM & Extended Watchlist

Dussault Apparel, Inc.  DUSS

On Tuesday, DUSS released an 8K containing information regarding its pending acquisition of a gold mining property. This adds substance to this very cheaply-priced stock, and with Wednesday’s session seeing a high of .0011 on more than 10X its 3mo. average volume, now is a good time to start monitoring this stock.

The last significant spike on the DUSS chart took it as high as .0015, so a return to those levels from here could facilitate gains in excess of 50% or more. We’d like to see support continue to hold at .0006-.0007 in order for us to remain interested.

International Star, Inc.  ILST

We are introducing a new momentum play in ILST today. Like DUSS, ILST represents a company that has just shifted its business toward the mining sector.  Wednesday, the stock woke from a slumber, and moved from a low of .001 to as much as .0034 on record volume.

The company is currently working toward getting their claim prepared for production. The Van Deemen Mine property consists of five un-patented claims totaling approx. 100 acres, and an additional 18 un-patented lode claims in the surrounding area. As with any junior mining project, the road to production can be a long one, so there’s no sense of urgency here. But at its current price level and at this stage of the story, we thought it would be a good time to put ILST on the radar, and begin following its journey.

Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA – Options Ideas

Turning our attention to options trading, we are taking a look at TSLA. With the current conditions on the chart appearing favorable for an uptrend, we are looking at 12/21 $120 Call, which last traded at 11.35, and 12/27 $130 calls, last traded at 6.35.

As you can see on the included chart, conditions appear to be gearing up nicely for a possible surge in PPS.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options

AAPL is another candidate to provide us with some good options-trading opportunities based on current conditions. AAPL weekly Calls could provide a nice day-trading opportunity today that could yield fast profits. We want to radar the 550, 555 and 560 calls, because all week long, AAPL has been making huge gains and the weekly Calls have made multi-bag gains.

If today’s action can repeat the activity we saw earlier in the week, we could be looking at some sizable gains from these Calls. AAPL $550 calls closed at .80, $555’s closed at .30, and the $560’s were at .12. It’s always safer to play closer to the money with your strike price, so we’re keeping that in mind. If AAPL can’t make its way past $555, the $560’s may not make the same kind of moves that expect from the $550’s and $555’s.

Aetrium, Inc. ATRM

We’ve been talking about ATRM since last Friday, and highlighted it once again on Monday. It would pull back early in the week, and then on Wednesday we got the move we were looking for. From Tuesday’s low of 4.19, the stock would hit a high of 12.40, marking a possible gain of up to 196% for anyone who loaded up on the dip.

FB Calls, PLUG, LTCHD, INO, GRPN & Extended Watchlist

Facebook FB Options

Many of you will recall Wednesday’s report, wherein we outlined our interest in the FB 9/13 $41 Calls. As you can see on the chart below, after a quick spike they mostly tapered back, to a low of 1.29, before surging as high as 2.04 yesterday afternoon. That move represents a 58% gain.

With FB closing at 42.75 yesterday, it appears to be gapping up this morning, having last traded at 43.25 pre-market. Provided this upward trend continues, we could be looking at even further profits as we head into next week’s expiration date.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

After an appearance on yesterday’s watchlist, PLUG  appears to be gearing up for a move. The stock traded at a low of .572 yesterday, and appears to be gapping up today, currently trading at the .66-level.

PLUG has brought us big gains in the past, which is a large part of why we are monitoring it so closely at present. Back in February we followed PLUG coming off of its 52-week lows as a bounce play from the .125-area, which have obviously led to triple-digit gains.

We’ll be watching PLUG to maintain support at a previous swing high of .55, and the next key level of resistance is going to be at .76.

mCig, Inc. LTCHD (Soon to be MCIG)

LTCHD continued to line our pockets on Thursday, with a 52% intraday move from the daily low of .171 to its new high of .26. Remember, on Wednesday, the stock provided us with a chance at 92% in gains in a run from .12-.23. Overall, a buy at the low following our alert and a timely exit at its peak would have amounted to a profit of 117%

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO

We were looking at INO a couple of weeks back as it was rebounding from a recent consolidation, and the stock was around 1.60. It looks as if it is continuing its recovery today as it is trading pre-market at 2.17, a rise of 36% from Friday the 23rd’s low.

Groupon, Inc. GRPN

We first started talking about Groupon this spring at around the 6.00-range. We followed up with an early August mention upon a good earnings report, and we saw highs in the 11.20’s. After receding back to 9.27, the stock is currently trading once again at the 11.00-range.

Extended Watchlist:
RMTI, ZQK, VVUS, FSLR, EGLE

TCPS, FNMA, FMCC & Extended Watchlists

TechnoConcepts, Inc. TCPS

We called for caution on TCPS in yesterday’s report, indicating our belief that a pullback was likely to soon be upon us. Fridays are often profit-taking days, and after six straight sessions of gains (420% in total at yesterday’s high, from original alert at .0025) it’s difficult for us not to chalk this up as a win and take our hefty profits.

While there is a chance the momentum could carry over to next week, at the very least, we’ll be looking to sell half of our position to lock in our initial investment, and ride the rest of the way on the house’s money.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – FNMA & FMCC

FNMA and FMCC appeared in the extended watchlist both May 15th and May 16th, and since that time, have each made sizable increases:

FNMA – Low (05/16):1.20 – Yesterday’s High: 2.20 – Gained: 83%

FMCC – Low (05/15): 1.11 – Yesterday’s High: 2.05 – Gained: 85%

Both of these have been trading copious volume, so we want to be on the lookout for a continuation of the recent uptrends. In the event of a pullback, we feel there would be significant bounce opportunity.

Solar Sector Watchlist:
It looks as if the solar plays we mentioned on Tuesday are beginning to heat up. We are going to be paying attention to this group of stocks as we head into the long weekend:

ASTI, RSOL, CSIQ, HSOL, FSLR, SCTY, JKS, LDK

Extended Watchlist:
HALB, TNP, FREE, EGLE

EGLE, AAPL Calls & Extended Watchlist

Eagle Bulk Shipping, Inc. EGLE

EGLE appeared in yesterday’s extended watchlist after the recent release of a positive quarterly report caused a surge in both volume (more than 20X the 3mo. average) and PPS. The stock had a daily range of $4.10-5.93, offering up the chance for up to 45% in gains.

We’re keeping this one on watch for a continuation of the current run, and because of the large amount already gained over such a short period, we also want to take advantage of any bounces resulting from a subsequent pullback.

NEW YORK, May 15, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. (NASDAQ: EGLE) today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.– Net reported income of $1.4 million or $0.08 per share (based on a weighted average of 16,966,070 diluted shares outstanding for the quarter), compared with net loss of $17.4 million, or $1.11 per share, for the comparable quarter of 2012.

— Net revenues of $72.2 million, compared to $52.6 million for the comparable quarter in 2012. Gross time charter and freight revenues of $73.6 million, compared with $54.8 million for the comparable quarter of 2012.

— EBITDA, as adjusted for exceptional items under the terms of the Company’s credit agreement, was $32.5 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared with $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2012.

Apple, Inc. AAPL Options

Apple appears to be gapping up this morning, and as usual we’re looking to leverage its activity to allow us to make sizable gains trading options. Currently, we are honing in on the $435, and $440 Calls. We may even have to move our strike price up to $445, should the stock continue to exhibit the incredible momentum we saw yesterday as it traded in a range from $418.90-437.85, yielding multi-bag gains for call contract holders.

The stock has already hit a high of $441.50 pre-market, and is currrently trading above $438.
