Blue Horseshoe Stocks: SOPW News, PTN on Bottom Watch

Solar Power, Inc. SOPW

SOPW is the first of a couple of news plays that we’re going to be taking a look at this morning. The company has announced the initiation of a 6-month long share repurchase program wherein it will obtain up to $50M of its common stock from the open market.

Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman of SPI stated, “The implementation of our share repurchase program reflects the confidence that our Board and management have in SPI’s growth prospects and our commitment to enhance value for our shareholders while retaining adequate flexibility for future growth.” >>> READ FULL PR

In addition to the favorable PR that, in and of itself would be enough to gain our attention, SOPW has also been searching for a bottom over the past few weeks, and we’ll want to be hanging around when it finds one, as the subsequent rebound could be considerable.


Palatin Technologies, Inc. PTN

PTN has capitalized on the FDA’s recommendation for the first ever treatment for a disorder that affects the female sex drive. The company itself has a similar treatment that is currently enrolling women for Phase-3 trials.

As a result of this heightened attention, this morning, the stock is gapping up over 50% in the premarket. We’re going to tag it for observation, because the potential for a dip-and-rip in situations like these is ever-present.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ICLD Update & More

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

We’ve been tracking ICLD continuously since last Monday, and after witnessing a low of 3.01 and subsequent run to 4.30 that day (+43%), the stock turned in quite an admirable performance for the week as a whole.

Following a dip back to 3.01 on Tuesday, ICLD would register higher highs and higher lows all week, which provided some excellent swing-trade opportunities. Tuesday’s intraday run carried ICLD in a range from 3.01-4.00, for chances at up to 33% in gains. On Wednesday the move was from 3.11-3.75 (21%). Thursday’s session brought a similar 22% gain as it pushed from 3.35 to 4.09.

The great weekly performance culminated in a new high being set on Friday as the stock touched a low of 3.65 before reaching 4.48. It marked another nice intraday spike (+23%) and an overall increase of 49% over our observed low earlier in the week.

The stock has traded up to the 4.30’s here in the premarket, so we’ll have ICLD on our watchlist as we kick off a new trading week, and we’ll be interested to follow the action. We’ll also remind our readers that the company has a conference call scheduled for Wednesday, the info for which you can obtain by clicking through the link to the PR below.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: GEVO Recap & More

Gevo, Inc. GEVO

We called attention to GEVO in yesterday morning’s premarket report, citing a high-profile PR in which the company announced an agreement with Alaska Airlines (>>Read PR). What resulted was a stroke of flawless timing, with the stock putting up a record performance on the day, and it put a nice cap on what has been a week of multiple great calls.

The stock started out by gapping up into the 3.50’s, and undergoing the dip we were looking for caused by impatient profit-takers, found its daily low of 3.28 and then it was off to the races! The subsequent high came in at 6.11, an unprecedented 86% intraday rip for GEVO, and it occurred on more than 40X the 3-month average trading volume.

The total increase witnessed as of this morning’s premarket high of 7.43 amounts to 126% and marks the second big-board double-bagger we called this week! (Refer to PTBI for the 1st).

The stock has peeled back into the 6.50-range so we could be in line to see another dip-and-style move from GEVO to close out the week. We’ll want to see it maintain a level of support at or above the new 200DMA of 4.90 on any pullbacks.



Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA

We tagged TSLA in yesterday’s extended watchlist and the stock made a nice move from 220.25 to 237.48. While it translates to an intraday gain of just 8%, the spike caused some serious action in the options chain, which is where we’ll have our attention focused.

The sets of contracts that we’re going to be monitoring for potential opportunities in coming weeks will fall into the range of the 05/22 $230-240 Calls. Our interest, of course, will be predicated upon the stock maintaining support at or above the 200DMA of 227.28.


Motorola Solutions, Inc. MSI

We also want to make a preliminary mention of MSI, which we noticed flirting with levels very near to its 52-week low this week, and it has begun to exhibit signs of a bounce. It’s going to be a stock that we monitor for potential continued rebound action into next week.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PTBI Makes Huge Run & Extended Watchlist

PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. PTBI

We were on top of PTBI in yesterday morning’s premarket report, catching it off of our scanner after an interesting PR alluded to activist investor George Soros taking up a position in the company. We also identified the attractiveness of the chart, and went so far as to say: “we like its chances of making a nice run.” Our expectations were exceeded roundly, and we actually ended up seeing a terrific run!

From an early low of 4.33 the stock surged to an impressive daily high of 7.77, carving out a 79% intraday rip on the chart. For a NASDAQ-listed $4.00+ stock, that is an incredible single-session performance.

The stock is pushing to new highs here in the premarket, and has officially crossed over the 100%-gainer line in less than a 24-hour period.

Take a look at the video chart we’ve prepared outlining PTBI’s epic performance so far:

Today’s continued momentum can likely be attributed to another PR out this morning, this time referring to a new acquisition. We’d suggest our readers follow the link to that press, included below. We’ll be actively monitoring this stock as we cruise through this midweek.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ICLD, XGTI Recaps & More

InterCloud Systems, Inc. ICLD

ICLD stood out as a solid mover from yesterday’s premarket report. From a morning low of 3.01, the stock made an authoritative move on up to a high of 4.30 just prior to the closing bell.  That represents an increase of 43% on heavy volume to the tune of nearly 38X the three-month average. That figure has been extended to 46%  in the premarket today with the stock touching a high of 4.40 so far.

We’ll want to monitor ICLD for a sustained run; if it can manage higher highs and higher lows today, it would mark the third straight session. The boost it received yesterday was due, in part, to the announcement of a new product launch, the link to which we’ve included below.

InterCloud Systems Announces the Launching of NFVGrid, a Network Functions Virtualization Orchestration Platform (Mon, May 4)


xG Technology, Inc. XGTI

XGTI was another stock from yesterday’s report that made a significant move on the day. It saw a an early low of .40, and would go on to run toward the end of the session, hitting a high of .5474. That worked out to an intraday move of 37%

The stock managed to hold .54 into the close, and the performance came on volume exceeding the monthly average by more than 6X. Anytime we observe action of this kind, we want to be on the lookout for continued activity in subsequent sessions. Already in early trading today we’re seeing the beginnings of a dip-and-rip pattern. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for added chances to take advantage of this play.


OSL Holdings, Inc. OSLH

We tracked OSLH throughout the month of April, and we’re highly rewarded for our vigilance. Between April 2nd (Low: .0021) and April 15th (High: .0274) we witnessed an amazing 1294% run.

Toward the end of last week, OSLH found a bottom after pulling back off of that historic move, and began to rebound from the .0075-mark, and has definitely won back our attention. Yesterday’s session carried OSLH as high as .0144, a 92% swing. We’ll watch this play for the possibility of a protracted rebound off of Friday’s low.


PlasmaTech Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. PTBI

We pulled up PTBI on a routine scan today, and it’s a stock that has been invested in by activist investor George Soros, as we’ve learned in the PR out this morning.. Occasionally, we like to watch stocks that are in the portfolios of high-profile investors. Just last month we followed VLTC over a huge run that was fueled by the involvement of Carl Icahn.

The stock is already up significantly in early trading, and there’s a chance we could see a major gap on the chart up to the 5.50 area filled, so we’ll have this one on our radar for just such an event. We’ve pointed this out below; if PTBI can gain support at or above the 4.40-mark, we like its chances of making a nice run.
