Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CCTC Update & More

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. CCTC

No sooner than we were commenting on CCTC’s fantastic performance in the month of September in yesterday’s morning report, did the stock continue to bull its way to new highs. As is plain to see on the included chart snapshot, it has mostly been one positive session after another.

We had just pointed out the 142% increase CCTC had made from our observed low of .36 to Friday’s high of .87, and the stock managed to impress us again. From a daily low of .851, it cracked through a big psychological barrier at a dollar, and managed a new high of 1.07. It figured in as a 26% intraday run, and extended our total observed increase in just over a couple of weeks to 197%

The chart is now well into overbought territory, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see a bit of a pullback. In order for us to remain interested in CCTC, we’ll need to see it maintain support in the channel between .75-.65, at the lowest.

Ballard Power Systems, Inc. BLDP

A quick tag search for BLDP on our blog shows our long history with this stock, and we wanted to quickly re-mention it this morning. We most recently tagged it as a bottom-watch play on July 2nd after noticing the stock taking a big backslide. It has been mostly in a downtrend since that time, but we’re going to want to begin watching more intently.

The company inked a major deal to supply 300 buses in Foshan and Yunfu, China, with their fuel cell systems (>>View PR). According to a ‘Zacks’ article posted yesterday, BLDP’s transaction is “Valued at $17 million, and the deal will also bring in potential recurring royalties starting from 2017.”

We’ll continue to keep BLDP on our extended-term recovery watchlist.

Options Ideas For a Market Rebound

After five straight days of down markets, we’re going to be on the lookout for a rebound today. We’re seeing a gap-up here in early trading, so we wanted to venture a couple of options ideas if events play out as we expect.

We’re going to zero in on GoPro, Inc. GPRO and Facebook, Inc. FB for potential opportunities, specifically the GPRO Weekly $31-32.50 Calls, and the FB Weekly $90-91 Calls.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: BIND Recap & More

BIND Therapeutics, Inc. BIND

BIND cropped up on our premarket scanner yesterday in the wake of a post-market PR on Wednesday afternoon, and it put forth a solid move early in the session. It traded as low as 7.40 at the open, and we then witnessed a significant 36% spike to the high-of-day at 10.04.

That initial run was fueled by the release of positive Phase-2 results from one of the company’s many cancer treatments currently in various trial phases, and additionally, an update on guidance for 2015.  >>> READ PR

According to the CEO, BIND expects 2015 “to be a particularly active period” with regard to the development of its many products, so this will be a play that we’ll want to monitor more closely moving forward.

Toward the end of the session yesterday BIND pulled back, and is gapping once again in the pre-market, so we have our eyes peeled for any potential bounce action that could be used in our favor.

Twitter, Inc. TWTR – Options

We’ve also got to update everyone on the options trading idea we put forth earlier this week for TWTR. We mentioned an interest in the Weekly $38 and $39 Calls, and each set of contracts showed us a huge spike during yesterday’s session.

The $38’s traded in a range from .23-1.22, for a chance at monstrous gains of up to 430%, while the $39’s did even better as they ripped from .09 to a high of .54, a move totaling 500%

We also wanted to remind readers of the long-term options idea for TWTR we mentioned in the same report. The February $40 Calls could be in line for significant gains if TWTR continues to recover off of recent lows in the $35-36 range.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Momentum Mover & More

True 2 Beauty, Inc. TRTB

TRTB is a momentum play that caught our attention when it began to break out during yesterday’s session. The characteristics of this high-flyer have us on alert for the possibility of continued upward movement, and a subsequent dip-and-rip situation. The stock has a low float, and as we know, that type of structure can give way to surges in buying pressure such as those that are fed by heavy momentum.

This stock virtually exploded yesterday, so it’s going to be very interesting to see how trading action resumes today. With such rapid movement, it wouldn’t be surprising to see significant bounce opportunities once it pulls back from these monstrous initial gains and begins to rebound.

Side Note: TRTB was actually tied to another stock that has appeared in our reports, APDN. Last month the two companies announced a collaboration agreement to develop a DNA-based authentication solution (Read Joint PR)  A quick tag search for APDN on our blog shows that we began tracking this stock years ago, going all the way back to the summer of 2012 when the stock was trading below .10. The company just completed an uplisting to the NASDAQ, and is currently trading in the 2.70-range.

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bull 3X ETF (JNUG)

We’ve been continuously tracking JNUG for several weeks now; on Tuesday, after tagging the play in our extended watchlist, we witnessed a 15% increase from 5.29-6.09.

Yesterday brought forth a consolidation to a morning low of 4.83, and a subsequent intraday snap-back to 5.80 (+20%) and then continued to consolidate into the close, and this morning it appears to be gapping up above the $5-mark.

We’ll be keeping a close eye on JNUG moving forward; despite the dollar being at 5-year highs, supply and demand still play a large role in gold price action, and from October-January with the Indian Celebration of Diwali and Chinese New Year coming up, demand for gold will be pushed to high levels.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: NVAX, NQ & More

Novavax, Inc. NVAX 

NVAX is the latest Ebola-related stock to catch our eye, and while the initial fear that was driving a lot of these plays has calmed as people realize that the virus doesn’t exactly spread like wildfire, there is much being made of efforts to find a working vaccine and NVAX is attempting to answer that call.

The company announced today that it had presented at the 8th Vaccine and ISV Conference in Philadelphia on Sunday on what was called the first Ebola Vaccine Candidate based on the 2014 Guinea strain that caused the current outbreak in West Africa.

The company said it expects to begin Phase I testing by December, so we’re going to add NVAX to our watchlists for the time being. Additionally, the stock is gapping up to the tune of 10% here in the premarket, and the chart appears to have the possibility of a Golden Cross in the making.

NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

This is a play we’ve tracked continuously since late this spring. After witnessing a nice move back in July from the low $4-range to the mid-$7’s, the stock had been under general consolidation until it found and bounced off of support about 6 weeks ago. It has made a nice steady recovery from that point on, and is gaining more traction this morning as it gaps up in the premarket on the heels of a PR.

The mobile security has just company submitted the necessary back-filings to once again become fully compliant, and no anomalies or adverse findings were uncovered, which adds another dimension to this play.

We also like the space NQ operates in- with mobile devices permeating every aspect of the current culture, the need for mobile security services such as those provided by NQ only stands to grow in the future.

Side Note:
PTIE, DRRX (Two that are gapping down significantly; we will want to watch for an eventual bounce)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CNET Recap & More

ChinaNet Online Holdings, Inc. CNET

CNET made an excellent move following its inclusion in yesterday’s morning report, as the stock would go on to trade in an impressive range from  a low of 2.41 up to a new annual high of 3.98 on nearly 34x its one-month average volume. The strong 65% intraday run came in the first hour of trading, so folks had the chance at some very rapid, very substantial gains. Congrats if you were among them!

Direxion Daily Jr Gld Mnrs Bear 3X ETF (JDST)

We introduced JDST as a way to leverage against the falling prices of gold yesterday, and it’s working out in our favor so far. This ETF didn’t waste any time Monday morning, as it began a morning ascent that would last all day and carry it from a low of 14.65 to 16.88, a modest yet solid gain of 15%

We’ll have our eyes on this one for as long as it appears that the dollar will continue to strengthen.
