Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APTI Recap & More

Apptio, Inc. APTI – Review

Despite a lousy day for the markets as a whole, yesterday brought a very interesting development in APTI, in the form of an enormous gap-up. We signaled APTI as a bottom-play in our premarket report on the first of this month, after the stock had begun to rebound following a dip to new annual lows a couple of days earlier. At the time the stock traded for as little as 24.48 a share.

We included it in yesterdays report as well, and the new high after that incredible gap-up came in at 37.80. That marks an upswing of 54% in just under two weeks, made even more impressive by the fact that the markets tanked on the day. The rapid hike was due to Sunday’s revelation that the company would be sold in an all cash deal equal to $38/share.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Chatroom Call, SPU Update & More

Another Great Chatroom Call

We’ve been advocating for our daily live trader’s chats pretty heavily lately, and this morning we’ve got yet another example of why. We compile and publish our daily reports every morning between 15-30 minutes prior to the opening bell. We still manage to find great opportunities in the premarket, but sometimes the real movers don’t reveal themselves until regular trading commences. That’s where the chatroom comes in, giving us and our participants the chance to ID solid plays on the fly.

BLDV was one such play, which, subsequent to our chatter’s mention, went on a run from .0005-.0017 for a fantastic intraday rip of 240%

Our chats are open to any of our subscribers who wish to participate, or merely observe, and are conducted exclusively via Skype. Send a contact request to username ‘stocksumo‘ and get involved today! 


SkyPeople Fruit Juice, Inc. SPU

We signaled SPU on Monday morning after noticing that it was searching for a bottom. We were mentioning as much in yesterday’s report , along with the fact that our bottom call had been sharp, after the stock bounced off of the 2.30 mark and began to climb 45% to 3.3299.

We also noted that SPU still had a monster gap on the chart to the upside, and for the second straight session the stock hit a new high. It traded in a range from 2.72 to 4.33, which goes down as an intraday move of 59%  From the previous day’s low, it marked a two-session upswing of 88% which occurred on 21X the monthly average volume.

SPU has already been a great bottom bounce call for us, but with the kind of momentum that’s currently present, we’ll continue to watch for it to register higher highs, and higher lows over coming sessions.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Multiple Mid-Week Winners & More

Multiple Mid-Week Winners

Yesterday’s premarket report was chock-full of prime opportunities to strike it big with some fantastic intraday gains. Here they are in descending order of magnitude:

Diana Containerships, Inc. DCIX – Like DRYS, which we were tracking on such a monumental run that it got halted, DCIX is another play in the shipping sector, which has been the post-election hot ticket. After we tagged it in yesterday’s report, DCIX managed a hearty run from 8.27 to as high as 26.17, an intraday burst amounting to 216%
_____

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. SINO – Tally up yet another shipper that we caught just in time to benefit from the rush on the sector. SINO was another inclusion in our Monday watchlist, and it too has produced a multi-bag surge. The stock traded in a range from 3.45 to 7.86 yesterday, allowing for up to 128% in single-session profits. From our observed low of 1.44 on Monday, it marked a three-day uptrend of 446%
_____

Bulova Technologies Group, Inc. BTGI – We also had a pair of subpenny plays put up solid numbers on the day yesterday. We tagged BTGI on Tuesday, observed a modest run on massive volume, and reiterated as much in yesterday’s report. The trend continued, as the stock ran from  .0036-.0059 (+64%) on over 5X its 30-day average volume. From our observed low of .00275 on Tuesday, it went down as an overall two-day swing of 115%
_____

SpectraScience, Inc. SCIE – Rounding out our list of nice gainers from yesterday is SCIE. The stock traded in a comparatively subdued, yet quite notable range from .0019-.003. That was good for gains of up to 58%


Added Notes:

Options Reminder – We also want to remind our readers of our successful hunch that Bank of America would be a good short yesterday. We saw modest gains in our target contracts, BAC Weekly $20.50-19.50 Puts, and will continue to track the added gains that are sure to be caused from another gap-down here in the premarket, and possible continued backslide today. We’ll provide an update on the activity and our total possible gains in tomorrow’s premarket report.

Shipping Watchlist – Granted the excellent activity in the shipping sector that we’ve been mentioning, we thought it would be a good idea to include a handful of other plays in the space to watch in addition the ones we’ve already mentioned this week: RLOG, GSL, CHNR, NMM, OSG, NAO.
