Blue Horseshoe Stocks: TLM, HGSH & FRO Recaps

Talisman Energy, Inc. TLM

We began tracking TLM on Friday after noticing the stock coming up off of its recently-registered 52-week low, and on that day we observed a low of 4.17.

The stock made higher highs and higher lows yesterday following another inclusion in our morning report, making definite progress, but with a surprise buyout announcement early this morning the PPS has gone into overdrive.  The all-cash transaction is valued at $8 Billion, and has been unanimously approved on all sides.

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwired – Dec 16, 2014) – Talisman Energy Inc. (TLM.TO)(TLM) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with Repsol S.A. under which Repsol will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Talisman for US$8.00 (C$9.33) per share in cash. >> FULL PR

The premarket high thus far today stands at 7.74, which marks an increase of 85% that we’ve witnessed in TLM over the course of just a few days. Congrats to anyone who caught our pre-emptive alert and was able to take advantage!


China HGS Real Estate, Inc. HGSH

Another winning call off of yesterday’s report was HGSH; the stock appeared in our extended watchlist, and went on to have quite a fruitful session. The stock would open and briefly touch a low of 4.63 before spending the rest of the day on the rise, culminating in an afternoon high of 5.96.

That solid intraday move came on more than 10 the 3-month average volume, and represented a highly respectable increase of 29%


Frontline Ltd. FRO

Despite seeing a gap-down in this morning’s pre-market on the heels of a debt-for-equity program announced by FRO, we did see a nice move out of the stock yesterday after including it in our last couple of newsletters. It made an intraday move from 2.53 to 2.95 (+17%).

We observed a low of 1.88 on Friday, meaning that yesterday’s high figured in as a two-day overall increase of 57%


BioLineRx Ltd. BLRX

BLRX also appeared in yesterday’s extended watchlist, and while it had a tough time getting going yesterday, the stock is up significantly in today’s premarket activity on the strength of a new PR so we’ll be sure to monitor the situation as the week progresses.

The company has signed an agreement with pharma-giant Novartis, under which Novartis has made an initial equity investment in BLRX of $10M for 12.8% of BLRX’s current shares outstanding. Read more about it in the following news announcement:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: FRO, OPK, WLGC & More

Frontline, Ltd. FRO

At the beginning of this month when we first began looking at FRO, the stock was trading at a low of 1.33. It took barely a week for the stock to start inching its way up, and it has continued to do so up to the present.

By the time we re-flagged it in Friday’s morning report, it had already cracked the $2.00-mark, and we did mention that the level of momentum was primed to allow for further opportunities.

This morning FRO continues to push the envelope, setting a new high in premarket trading action. This morning’s top figure of 2.64 puts us just slightly short of double-bagger status, having shown us an increase of 98% from the lows we observed the week before last.

It can be argued that the bolstering of activity seen on FRO (and other shipping plays) is due to the continuing fall of oil prices which translates to savings at the pump.


Opko Health, Inc. OPK

OPK is catching our attention in the premarket as well, as a result of an agreement announced this morning with pharma-giant Pfizer to develop and commercialize one of Opko’s highly promising products which combats Growth Hormone deficiency. Peruse the following PR to find out more; the development certainly lands OPK a spot on our watchlist to kick off the week.

In instances like these where a play is sent through the roof on substantial news, we look for the resulting profit-taking to pull the stock back, where we wait to take advantage of a possible dip-and-rip scenario.

OPKO Health, Inc. (OPK) and Pfizer Inc. (PFE) announced today that they have entered into a worldwide agreement for the development and commercialization of OPKO’s long-acting hGH-CTP for the treatment of growth hormone deficiency (GHD)… hGH-CTP has the potential to reduce the required dosing frequency of human growth hormone to a single weekly injection from the current standard of one injection per day. >> FULL PR


WordLogic Corp. WLGC

Speaking of significant news, WLGC forces its way into our vernacular this morning on the heels of the announcement that the company will be teaming up with energy-leviathan General Electric (GE) in order to “monetize specific patented intellectual property in General Electric’s portfolio.”

With such a high-profile bedfellow, WLGC will instantly gain new recognition, and it will be very interesting to see how that translates to the chart.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Kicking Off the Short Week

Good Morning Traders! We hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend; we’re all set to start the short week off strong. We’ve got several different things to talk about this morning, so without further ado, lets take a look: 

Dig-It Underground, Inc. DIGX

DIGX is a new item of interest that we’re going to start things off with today; the stock began to move on Thursday and Friday, and will be among the top plays that we’ll be monitoring for a potential breakout this week.

Per a recent PR, DIGX management has the intent to pursue opportunities in the cannabis sector, which we know as well as anyone, can mean big things on the chart if the company follows through so we’ll definitely be paying attention to that aspect of the story.

In the meantime, the company is supported by the revenues of its existing salon business, and we really like the potential of the chart as well:

We go over the DIGX Chart, as well as some of our other items of discussion this morning in the following video:


Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options

PBR hit yet another new high on Friday, this time pushing to 19.74. That spelled good things for the options contracts we’ve been tracking.

The January 17th $19 Calls, which we’ve seen as low as 1.23 as recently as Friday the 22nd, hit 2.48. That’s a one-week increase of 101% so congrats to anyone who was along for the ride.


Digital Ally, Inc. DGLY

DGLY pushed to new highs on Friday; the stock made a 15% intraday move to 19.86 which represents a sizable move up from recent lows.

We began to talk about this play on August 21st, at which time it was trading at 5.75, meaning we’ve already seen an overall increase of 245%


LabStyle Innovations Corp. DRIO

We brought up DRIO as a topic of discussion a week ago today, and we were pleased at the move we saw that day as the stock bounced from a low of .065 and ran as high as .08, a 23% spike.

The stock spent the next session under consolidation, and found support Thursday at .066, just one tick above our observed low. The bounce we saw from that point on would take DRIO to a new high, reaching its apex on Friday at a price of .093. That swing exceeded the initial run, and was good for gains of up to 40%


RadioShack Corp. RSH

We were seeing new highs attained all over the place on Friday, and RSH was no exception. The stock pressed to as much as 1.77 on more than six times the average volume.  That was just shy of the next key resistance point on the RSH chart, the 200DMA of 1.79.

Considering the fact that we caught this off of its 52-week low of .55 just a couple of weeks ago, we’d say we’ve fared pretty well with RSH. As of Friday’s new high, we were looking at an overall increase of 222%


Drone Aviation Holding Corp. DRNE

On Friday morning, we mentioned that we’d “have our eyes peeled for any chances that might present themselves with a potential rebound” in DRNE, and it was a good thing that we did.

The stock proceeded to trade from a morning low of .84, hit a high of 1.04 and closed just a penny below at 1.03. That was a healthy 24% move on nearly six times the 1-month average volume.


Side Notes:

Kandi Technologies, Inc. KNDI, a stock we’ve been familiar with in the past, got hit pretty hard during Friday’s session, presumably due to an adverse reaction to an announced secondary stock offering. We’re going to be monitoring the situation there, waiting for the dust to settle. It’s possible that it could lead us to some opportunities on a subsequent rebound.

Speaking of plays we’ll be monitoring on the heels of some recent consolidation, we’ve got China Finance Online, Ltd. JRJC. We tracked this play for gains of nearly 30% the week before last, and it had been pulling back off of that spike through last week, so we’ll be watching to see where this one finds support as well.


Extended Watchlist:
PAWS, CPWR, HGSH, ASTI, JDST, ADMP, EXEL(Large gap down radar for a eventual bounce)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DGLY Update & Much More

Digital Ally, Inc. DGLY

For the third consecutive session yesterday, our coverage of DGLY yielded the opportunity for significant gains as the stock once again posted higher lows and higher highs on dramatically higher-than-average volume. (More than 12x higher than the one month average)

The stock began the week on a very strong note, trading in an impressive range from its early morning low of 8.75 all the way up to 14.75 shortly before 3PM. That represents a steady intraday move of 68% and at that high, our total possible gains on this stock over a three session period from the low we observed Thursday (5.75) stood at 156%

This has been an excellent short-term play for us, so we want to congratulate anyone who was able to take advantage of our timely alerts.


Drone Aviation Holding Corp. DRNE

We included a mention of DRNE once again yesterday, after its inclusion in Friday’s report led us to the chance to make up to 24% in gains from .89-1.10. The stock responded with another nice performance, and registered higher lows and higher highs on the day.

DRNE traded in a range from 1.09-1.30, a 19% intraday gain, and that high marked a 46% move up off of the low we observed when we tagged this play on Friday.



LabStyle Innovations Corp. DRIO

DRIO was a play we were monitoring yesterday, as anyone who stopped by our blog at BlueHorseshoeStocks.com and took a look at our daily stock tracker would have noticed. The stock is coming across as a bottom-bouncer, which hit its 52-week lows in the nickel-range yesterday, and has already begun a healthy rebound, pushing its way back over .08.

Significant volume is pouring through the stock for the first time in quite awhile, with yesterday’s session setting an all-time record, so DRIO will definitely be one we want to keep an eye on moving forward as it continues its recovery.

DRIO also provides an excellent example of why its always a good idea to visit Blue Horseshoe daily even if you’ve already read our morning report in your inbox. Occasionally the content will be updated between the publishing of our morning reports and the opening bell, and visiting the site is the only way to catch those periodic and unannounced changes.

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

PBR hit new highs yesterday cracking the $18-mark, and lending further credence to our long term options-trading idea that we put forth last week; the January 17th $19 Calls. Those contracts have edged their way up from a low of 1.23 on Friday, and hit 1.64 during yesterday’s session, which marks a modest yet significant session-over-session increase of 33%

We expect the possible gains on those Calls to inflate even further as they draw nearer to their expiration if PBR can continue to follow its recent patterns.
