PROW, NQ, PLUG, Cannabis Stocks & Extended Watchlist

Cannabis Sector Stays Hot
It was really hard not to make a profit off of the marijuana stocks featured in Tuesday’s final report of 2013. Nearly every single one closed in the green on significant-to-heavy volume, with some of the more notable gains coming from CBIS (+28%), HEMP (+29%), and FITX (+38%). This surge of investor interest in the sector as a whole comes in step with the first stores selling legal pot for recreational use yesterday in Colorado.

It will be important to keep an eye on the developments out of Colorado and Washington, where legalization has already been voted into law, as they will be acting as a litmus test for the rest of the nation. We know that many state legislatures have already begin to entertain the idea of following in the footsteps of the “green revolution” currently taking place out West. We’ll be certain to stay hot on the trail of this story as it unfolds, because this is an industry that is positioned for a boom; and in truth we have been way ahead of the pack in anticipation of this occurrence. Passing into 2014, our coverage of the sector has spanned three calendar years.


Plug Power, Inc. PLUGĀ 

We’re closing in a full year of coverage on PLUG, with our first ever mention coming last February, and it turned out to be one of our more successful plays from 2013. Our scanners picked up on this stock as it was coming off of its 52-wk low at .1155. Over the course of the spring and into summer, PLUG continued to push ever upward, running past .50 in September and reaching highs in the .70’s in September.

If it had stopped there, we still would have called that quadruple-bagger one of the year’s best alerts, but indeed, the stock has been pressing its way to new, impressive highs. The peak of which was reached in early December when we witnessed trades at 2.2399. For anyone without a calculator on hand, that’s an unbelievable move of 1839%


NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

NQ first appeared in our reports back on October 29th, and on that day, we saw a low of 8.42. The stock had recently taken a huge spill from the $24-range and we were keen to take advantage of the rebound. It has taken less than three months for that plan to come to fruition, and we are extremely pleased with the results so far. As of the high reached on Tuesday, 16.21, NQ has made an overall move for us on the order of 93%


Progress Watch Corp. PROW

On Tuesday we mentioned that while we had already followed PROW from lows at .0065 to its then-current price of .013, that we were looking for a break of the .013 -mark to put PROW in Blue Sky Breakout mode. We did indeed witness that break once the session ensued, and PROW spiked as high as .0194, giving us the chance at close to 200% in gains so far.

It made a strong close as well, holding roughly 90% of its gains, and ending the session at .019 on more than twice the 3mo. average volume, so continuing activity on PROW could get rather interesting.

APP, MFTH, SGLB & Extended Watchlist

American Apparel, Inc. APP

We first talked about APP all the way back on December 27th. Yesterday it popped back onto our radars as we observed APP hit a new 52-wk high.

Granted the season, and industry, APP should be experiencing better quarterly numbers in the months ahead. Between students returning to school, and the impending holiday retail boom, this apparel company is in position to rake in quite a bit of revenue. For that reason, we will be monitoring APP more closely in the immediate future.

We have also prepared a video chart outlining some key technical points for the stock.

Medisafe 1 Technologies Corp. MFTH &

Sigma Labs, Inc. SGLB

As we have stressed in the past, the symbols we place in our extended watchlist simply must not be overlooked. These two stocks did very well yesterday.

MFTH opened at the previous close and LOD of .004, then hitting a high of .0071 before closing at .0062 for possible intraday gains ranging from 55-78% Not bad for having just racked up over 100% in gains one day prior. Following our first mention of MFTH, the stock saw a low on the order of .003, and subsequently touched a high of .006 last week, and has been holding support in the low-to-mid .004’s.

SGLB opened at .016, and touched .03 before closing at .02. for gains ranging from 25-86%
