AAPL, MWIP & Extended Watchlist

Apple, Inc. AAPL

AAPL has always been a passing focus of ours. We were able to take advantage of this tech giant several times last year, especially with regard to options trading. Yesterday the stock saw a move off of its low of 454.12 to close at 468.22. Any time you are able to see a 1-3% move on Apple, you can be rewarded with gains into the triple-digits out of the options. For those unfamiliar with this aspect of trading, downtrend signals a play for the Puts, and of course the opposite trend requires purchase of Call contracts.

AAPL is trading up over 470.00 pre-market this morning, so it looks like we are in an uptrend with key resistance at the 20DMA of 474.83. A break past that area would mean big profits on the Call side of things.  We will be looking at both puts and calls with a strike price close to the money today, most likely at 470.00, and 475.00.

MediSwipe, Inc. MWIP

We called a pullback on our marijuana stocks in the middle of the week. Yesterday signaled the end of the consolidation period for many of those stocks, as MJNA, HEMP, ERBB, all began to bounce back.

MWIP on the other hand, has seen three days of gains in a row, and yesterday the stock touched a new high. We have a favorable chart pattern here; the RSI is in the power zone, with the Slow STO having just crossed, and the PPO gearing up for a cross itself.

BARCHART.COM is currently giving MWIP a “100% Buy” Rating

Legacy Wine & Spirits International, Ltd. | LWSP Update

Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. LWSP

Just as we had hoped, LWSP made higher highs and higher lows on Tuesday to kick off this short trading week. After dipping as low as .014, the stock surged back to close at .02, gaining 43%

Our total gains since first mentioning the stock from a previous low of .004, stand on the order of 400% at yesterday’s closing price.

The company also put a PR out after market close yesterday. It is always interesting to see how a stock is affected following news that is un-traded upon.

NEW YORK, Jan 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via COMTEX) — Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. (Pink Sheets:LWSP), an importer and wholesaler of fine wines in China since 2008, announces that the Company intends to take advantage of the changing trends and growth that the wine industry in China is experiencing, and will be focusing its 2013 sales and distribution of mid to lower priced imported wines towards Tier 2 cities in China.

Currently there are 20 million consumers of imported wine in China, just 1.5% of the population. According to Wine Intelligence, a global wine and market research authority, they estimate that the number of wine consumers will increase to 80 million by 2020, with the bulk of the new wine drinkers coming from Tier 2 cities. Although the wine market is currently focused on Tier 1 cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, there are up to 30 cities in China with populations of 3 million to 8 million where wealth is increasing. The Tier 2 cities will be the main engines of growth for the wine business in China.

Legacy’s choice varietal to market in the red wine sector in 2013 will be Malbec from Argentina, which will provide excellent value for the consumer and has the potential to increase the Company’s market share given its relatively new presence in the Chinese red wine market. The fact that the affluent Chinese who normally drink higher priced imported wines are starting to appreciate the joys of finding undervalued quality wines will bode well for the Company’s selection of wines.

According to China Daily, China’s wine imports have jumped from 182 million units in 2008 to 391 million units in 2011 with no slow down in sight for 2013. Wine consumption in China has more than doubled in the last five years, according to Vinexpo, a wine industry expert.

Side Note:

We also have to give ourselves a pat on the back for including MKRS in yesterday’s extended watchlist, as the stock opened at .17 before shooting as high as .60 just 10 minutes into the session. We will never thumb our noses at such mind-numbingly rapid gains! Over 250% in a matter of minutes! There was even a chance for another play later in the day after the stock pulled back to .12 prior to running into the .20’s, tacking on an added 75% gain. This is exactly why we try to emphasize the fact that the symbols on our daily Extended Watchlists are every bit as important to monitor as our focal points.

(Another) Side Note:

Many analysts are predicting that the S&P will return to 2007 highs of 1550. For this reason, we will continue to monitor the activity on SPY Calls- Yesterday the SPY 148.00 call traded as low as .66 and closed at its high-of-day at 1.58,

bringing up to 140% in intra-day gains to savvy traders able to time the bottom correctly.

LWSP | Legacy Wine & Spirits International, Ltd. | Today’s Focus

Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. LWSP

On Friday, LWSP closed at its high-of-day, so we’ve been eager for trading to resume today, as closing at the HOD is almost always a bullish indicator.

During Friday’s session, in which we saw the stock open at .0128, a low of .0112 was observed before the strong close at .0173, marking an intraday gain of 54%

One key point on which to focus would be the breaching of a significant resistance level at .015, which we’d like to see held as a future level of support, with a penny being the minimum level of support we’d like to see.

We’ve seen LWSP return to an area on the chart that has not been traversed since 2011, and there appears to be little in the way of resistance on up to the .03-.05 range.

BFGC, LWSP Updates & Extended Watchlist

Bullfrog Gold Corp. BFGC

BFGC followed our morning alert and first ever mention of the stock with a good performance yesterday, holding support at the 200DMA  of .43. From that low we then observed a high of .49, a modest, yet quick gain of 14% on more than twice the average volume.

Moving forward, we are looking for BFGC to continue to hold support off of the 200DMA, and break this week’s prior resistance at .51. Beyond that, past resistance points crop up at .65 and .85, and a return to those levels from current prices would obviously spell substantial gains.

___

Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. LWSP

We watched as LWSP had a pullback yesterday morning touching a low of .004, before finishing the day strong with a high of .015, marking single session gains upwards of 275% Considering yesterday was the first time we ever focused on LWSP in a featured article, we’d call that great, if not perfect timing!

Momentum and volume were at all-time highs for this stock yesterday, trading almost 6.5X its 3mo. average volume, so we’d be foolish not to continue to monitor this one closely.

___

Yesterday morning we also highlighted our interest in APPL & SPY Calls

AAPL and SPY Calls were another two points of focus for us on Thursday, as the pattern of success we established with the aforementioned stocks spilled over into options trading as well.

The SPY 147.50 call traded as low as the .40’s on up to 1.09 for intra-day gains of over 100%

___

The APPL 505.00 call saw a dip to the $3.00 range before shooting up over 70% into the $5.00’s.

BFGC, LWSP & Extended Watchlist

Bullfrog Gold Corp. BFGC

BFGC is new to our reports this morning as a stock that caught our attention yesterday on one of our routine scans. The stock recently broke through its 200DMA, and chart conditions are looking ripe, so we wanted to make certain that we passed the ticker along to you.

Yesterday the company announced that it would start its third drill program at its Newsboy Gold Project located 45 miles NW of Phoenix, Arizona. The 30-hole drill program is scheduled for completion by early April 2013.

___

Legacy Wine & Spirits International Ltd. LWSP

LWSP was a big winner for us yesterday, coming off of our extended watchlist with a really good session; the stock opened at .006, and closed at the HOD of .0099 on over 3.5x its 3mo. average volume.

A single-day gain of 65% from LWSP has definitely earned the stock a top spot on our watchlists for the remainder of the week. Closing at the HOD is often a bullish sign, so we would like to see the stock finish out the week posting higher highs and higher lows for it to continue its uptrend.

___

Added Note:
AAPL and SPY are both gapping up and we will be looking at the calls today. We expect a pullback from some profit taking out of the gate, followed by a rebound.
