Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Several Updates, New Ideas & More

Linn Co. LNCO & Linn Energy LINE

We often include this related pair together and have mentioned them several times in past reports. Most recently was a week ago today, when we called attention to the fact that their [nearly identical] charts were trading at a relative bottom and looking ripe for a rebound. It didn’t take long for our expectations to come to fruition, with both stocks posting solid performances during yesterday’s session.

LNCO ran from .355-.515 for a move equaling 45%, while LINE did slightly better with a run from .32-.50, representing a  56% intraday upswing.


Rex Energy Corp. REXX

We took notice of the momentum that had built up in REXX yesterday, leading us to include a mention of it in our premarket report. We liked its chances of continuing the pattern it had established on the heels of a purchase agreement announcement, and that’s just what it did.

From a morning low of 1.03 we witnessed REXX run as high as 1.44 shortly after 1PM. That registers as an intraday pop of 40% We’ll continue to keep an eye on this play provided it can maintain support above a dollar on any pullbacks.

______

Added Note: GEVO was another one from yesterday’s report to trade solidly in the morning and early afternoon. The stock made a relatively small 20% intraday move from .25-.30. It’s still hovering around that high early on today, so we’ll be leaving GEVO on our radars also, for the time being.


Oil-Related Plays

We also wanted to remind our readers of the plays we’ve been tracking recently that are tied to big oil:

VelocityShares 3x Long Crude Oil ETN – UWTI
Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR

Both have been putting up solid performances with oil having been on a bullish tear in recent sessions. It appears as if many oil stocks are gapping up in the premarket, so we’ll be interested to follow the resultant action in our own oil-related interests. In the case of Petrobras, we want to go ahead and signal a possible options idea: We’ll be looking at observing PBR Weekly $6 & $6.50 Calls over the remainder of the week.


Strikeforce Technologies, Inc. SFOR – Recap

We also want to take a second to comment on the early move made by another of our recent items of interest, SFOR. In the video chart we published, we mentioned needing to see it hold above a specific support level and it managed to do so for the first part of the session. The stock caught a bounce off of the .0026 level and ran 62% intraday to .0042.

That daily high represented an overall new high for us as well. We’ve now seen a total jump of 500% over our observed low of .0007 from the day of our initial alert on March 31st.

Blue Horseshoe Stock: EGLE, SFOR Video Recap & More

Eagle Bulk Shipping, Inc. EGLE

We also had a new idea to start the new trading week yesterday morning by spotting and relaying a momentum play that had built a nice looking chart over the preceding sessions, but still appeared to have room to the upside.

A solid performance followed, as our reliance on the bullish indicators on the chart proved to be well-founded. EGLE still had gas left in the tank and responded with a respectable intraday increase of 31% nearly all of which was held into the close.

The stock has taken that head of steam and breached the one dollar barrier in the premarket this morning, so we’ll be very interested to continue monitoring its activity as the market opens up today.


Strikeforce Technology, Inc. SFOR

We were just updating our readers yesterday morning on SFOR, a stock which we introduced to our reports on March 31st at a low of .0007, that had already made impressive gains to the tune of more than 150%

The stock’s single day performance would nearly equal that yesterday, as it bulled its way higher throughout the entire day. It traded up from an early low of .0014 and went on to hit .0034, which worked out to a 143% intraday rip, and came on more than ten times the 3-month average volume.

From our observed low of .0007 from two Thursday’s ago, yesterday’s high translates into an overall 386% move to the upside!

We prepared a video presentation outlining the highlights of both EGLE and SFOR which you can find here:


GEVO, Inc. GEVO

We’ve talked about GEVO in our reports before, and this morning the stock is catching our attention once again after appearing in the news with an exciting revelation.

According to the release “Gevo’s renewable alcohol to jet fuel (“ATJ”) is now eligible to be used as a blending component in standard Jet A-1 for commercial airline use … Gevo’s ATJ is eligible to be used for up to a 30% blend in conventional jet fuel for commercial flight”

In addition to a door swinging open for its ATJ product, GEVO also happens to be in a good place on the chart, so we’ll definitely be putting this stock on intensive watch in sessions to come.



Added Note:
Another stock which has begun to trend up off of its bottom is Rex Energy Corp. REXX, which caught a wave of momentum yesterday as it was announced that REXX had entered into a lucrative purchase agreement that will send its natural shale gas to Europe. The stock is gapping up again this morning, so we’ll be placing it our on radars as well.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: MAXD Recap, Cannabis Stocks & More

Max Sound Corp. MAXD
 
A huge standout from Thursday’s session was MAXD, which we tagged as a bottom-bouncer in our premarket report. The stock had been mostly trading sideways over the preceding couple of months, so our alert definitely came at the proper time.

From its daily low of .0033 right at the outset, the stock continually pushed the envelope for a vast majority of the session, eventually reaching the zenith at an impressive .007. That represented an intraday gain opportunity of up to 112% with heavy volume, on the order of more than three times the monthly average.

We’ll continue to track MAXD, looking for the stock continue building a higher base level of support in coming sessions.


United Cannabis Corp. CNAB

We’ve been monitoring the cannabis space more closely over the past couple of weeks, since a big development from the labs at GW Pharma (GWPH) sent shockwaves through the investment community and began to drive heavier interest back to marijuana related stocks.

We’re still seeing those effects reverberating down to several of these ‘pot-plays’. One that stood out to us on Thursday morning was CNAB, and it enjoyed a respectable intraday performance subsequent to our premarket flag. We observed a low of .51 first thing in the morning, and the stock took off like a rocket. The high it shot up to was .75, marking a 47% rip.

The stock maintained a good portion of its daily advance into a close at .673, and of course volume was much higher than normal, so this is another that we’ll keep on our watchlist for the time being.

______

Cannabis Sativa, Inc. CBDS

Another run of success we’ve had recently within the cannabis sector has been due to our call of CBDS. We first introduced this stock to our reports in early February, and would monitor the stock as it found support at .30 several sessions later. From there it began a gradual rise that became much more pronounced midway through this month.

The gains on the chart since then have been absolutely stellar, and CBDS hasn’t looked back, as it recorded a new high of 3.73 on Thursday. That brought the overall upswing we’ve witnessed in just a month’s time to a meteoric 1143%
_______

ADDED NOTE:

Another handful of marijuana stocks we’ve tracked over a long period of time are HEMP, TRTC, and GRNH, and those will continue to garner our attention in the immediate future, with interest in the sector bubbling up once again.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ASTI Recap, Options Reminder & More

Trevena, Inc. TRVN

Of all of the plays that we were monitoring via our extended watchlist in yesterday’s premarket report, the most potent intraday performance came from TRVN. The stock had made a nice move in the previous session, had pulled back, and looked primed for another nice move based on the premarket activity we observed.

As the overall markets saw a trend reversal, TRVN made a solid, steady, run from a daily low of 9.21 up to 11.47; that registered as a 25% increase on more than 12X the 3-month average volume.

The stock is increasing further in the premarket today (traded as high as 11.83 thus far), so we might want to look out for the possibility of a slight dip followed by a continuation of yesterday’s momentum.


Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI

ASTI is a stock we’re very familiar with, as a quick tag search of our archives reveals, we’ve taken advantage of this stock multiple times over the years. A couple of weeks ago, we tagged the stock as a bottom-watch play after noticing it was being beaten back to new 52-week lows.

We stated that ASTI was a prime candidate for a bounceplay, and an extreme item of interest “because when a rebound does occur, it could be very significant.” and we couldn’t have been more spot-on in that assumption.

It’s ultimate low of .10 came just three sessions hence, and the impressive multi-day recovery pushed ASTI as high as .3597 yesterday. That represents an overall swing of 260%


Options Reminder:

Last Thursday just as the markets were becoming highly distressed, we formulated set of longer-term options plays to watch once a market rebound began to occur.

Yesterday, another reversal came to pass, so we just wanted to issue a brief reminder of the potential targets we listed, and are still tracking heavily: 09/18-10/02 Calls in the FB, GPRO, GMCR, AAPL, NFLX, and TSLA chains.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GEVO Recap, Potential Bottom-Plays & More

Gevo, Inc. GEVO
___
We tracked GEVO to some nice gains late this spring, and re-admitted the stock into the conversation in yesterday’s report. We were met with a respectable intraday increase as it traded up from a low of 2.37 to a daily high of 3.00. It registered as an opportunity of single session gains of up to 27% on volume of more than twice the 3-month average.

The stock is pulling back slightly in the premarket today, but we could see some further chances from this play into next week, provided it can continue to build a higher base of support in coming sessions. We’ll want to see the stock maintain above yesterday’s swing low of 2.37 to remain interested at the moment.

___
Potential Bottom-Plays

PostRock Energy Corp. PSTR

We spotted some potential in PSTR after catching it on a routine scan recently, and thought it’d be a good time to mention it as it is coming up off of recent relative lows.

The stock ran into some resistance just a tick below its 50DMA of 2.76 yesterday, and that’s going to be the figure we watch for a break. A move past that point, and there doesn’t seem to be much standing in the way of this low-float play running up to the level of its current 200DMA, presently sitting at 4.01.
___

Wizard World, Inc. WIZD

WIZD is a stock that has recently been beaten back to new 52-week lows, and as our regular readers are well aware, we’ve had an exceptional amount of success in the past with stocks in just this position. As you can see on the prepared chart below, WIZD is drastically oversold at the present time, and trading at just a fraction of its moving averages.

We’ll keep this stock on the radar heading into next week, and have our eyes open for a move up off of these newly attained lows. On a side note, the company just announced that the comic convention it is hosting the third week in September has secured an appearance by legendary boxer, Mike Tyson. >>VIEW PR 


Fresh Options Ideas

LinkedIn Corp. LNKD – Despite a hefty beat on earnings and raised guidance by the company, LNKD shared slipped more than 5% during yesterday’s session. The reactionary slide was primarily due to the perception of weakness in some of the areas of LinkedIn’s core business. Despite that fact, we want to offer up a longer-term options idea relating to the stock’s potential recovery over the next several weeks. We’re going to give specific attention to LNKD Sept. 11th $210-220 Calls.

___

GoPro, Inc. GPRO & Expedia, Inc. EXPE – Both of these stocks are gapping up in the premarket this morning, so as a closing idea for the week we’ll be monitoring Weekly Calls in each of them for a possible dip-and-rip. Those ranges of highest interest to us are GPRO $63-64.50 Calls, and EXPE $115-117 Calls.

Options Trading Side Note:

Don’t forget about the success we’ve had this week with the Weekly Ford (F) $14.50-15 Calls, and Weekly MU $19.50-20.00 Calls. We’ll have our eyes peeled for the possibility of seeing some added spikes as the trading week comes to a close.
