PLUG, IACH, CALI, AAPL & Extended Watchlist

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

PLUG turned in a solid session yesterday, as anticipated, following its appearance in our morning report. Initially, the stock opened at 1.04, made a 12.5% move to 1.1699, and would settle back to the 1.04 level before running up to a daily high of 1.28 for an added 23% intraday gain opportunity.

Following a strong close just a tick below the high-of-day (1.27) we’re going to be following this play once again, as the momentum could easily carry it even higher. As you can see on the chart below the next key area of resistance to watch for a break comes at the 1.45 level. We’ll need to see the stock hold support above a dollar, or it could pull back to fill the gap on the chart back to the .80-range.


Information Architects Corp. IACH

We’ve been tracking IACH via our Extended Watchlist for most of the week. The stock recently made a huge 1800% move from .001-.019, prompting us to put it on our radar,  monitoring for pullbacks and subsequent bounce opportunities, and it delivered just that.

After dipping back to .008, we saw a rebound back to .013, and a strong close at .012. Gains of up to 63% could have been achieved on the bounce.


China Auto Logistics, Inc. CALI

We also want to keep an eye on CALI, which popped up on our pre-market scan as it is gapping up heavily on the heels of a morning press release.

TIANJIN, CHINA, Dec 05, 2013 (Marketwired via COMTEX) — China Auto Logistics Inc. (the “Company” or “CALI”) (NASDAQ: CALI), a top seller in China of luxury imported automobiles, and a leading provider of auto-related services, reported today that on November 30, 2013, its subsidiary, Tianjin Binhai Shisheng Trading Group Co., Ltd. (“Shisheng”) signed an equity transfer agreement with Hezhong International Development Co, Ltd. to acquire Tianjin Zhonghe Auto Sales Service Co., the owner and operator of the Airport International Automall in Tianjin (the “Automall”). The Company plans to develop the Automall into a key site for what it believes can become one of the largest used car businesses in China.


Apple, Inc. AAPL Options

With the way AAPL has been gaining a head of steam lately, it seems plausible to imagine the stock surpassing $600 as we head into the new year. As a result, we are putting the 01/18 $585 Calls on our radar which closed at 12.25 yesterday, meaning the break-even point is 597.50. What we’re looking for, is to see the stock push past to the $610-15 level in January, which could provide triple-digit gains for the 01/18 $585 Calls.

The company finally signed a deal with China Mobile to get its iPhones on their network, as reported by the The Wall Street Journal this morning. China Mobile is comprised of over 700 million users, which obviously represents huge opportunity (in a market more than twice the population of the US) for Apple to boost foreign sales moving forward.

NURO, YRCW, PLUG & Extended Watchlist

NeuroMetrix, Inc. NURO

A selection from yesterday’s extended watchlist, NURO put up quite the performance. The stock hit its low of 2.23 early on in the session and ran into the close, touching 2.81 (+26%) before finishing out the afternoon strong at 2.79.

Any time a stock ends on a high note, its always a good idea to stay tuned into its activity the following day. NURO is up in pre-market trading, making it a candidate to continue its run today.


YRC Worldwide, Inc. YRCW

Yesterday morning’s report mentioned that we were on the lookout for a reversal from YRCW, which had gapped down heavily from the previous session. The stock did indeed rebound off of its low of 7.06, bouncing as high as 7.96. That was good for a 13% intraday gain.


Plug Power, Inc. PLUG

We first mentioned PLUG back on February 15th. The stock traded as low as .1155 following that initial alert, and subsequently reached a high of .80 (09/10), representing an overall move of 593%.

Following that monster run we recently saw a consolidation to last week’s low of .45, and since that time has displayed noticeable signs of recovery. We are back to paying close attention here as PLUG has passed its 50DMA in premarket trading, and the MACD is on the cusp of a bullish cross. The RSI is also coming off of being oversold, and is pointing North in apparent preparation to break the 50-line.

Regaining even a portion the ground leading up to its September highs would mean significant gains out of PLUG.

CLNO, AAPL & Extended Watchlist

Cleantech Transit, Inc. CLNO

CLNO remains on our radars this mid-week. The stock has provided us with the chance at thousands in percentage gains in recent months.

We wanted to be sure to alert everyone about a forthcoming increase in the number of CLNO shares. The company has announced that it will undergo a 5 for 1 forward split, so we want to be cautious moving forward. After the split, we expect the stock price to be roughly 5X cheaper than where it sits now. On the positive side, it gives the company more wiggle room with regard to obtaining financing for business activities, so we are going to want to continue following the storyline on CLNO to see how it all plays out

Apple Options
Apple has powered upward so far this week, and this morning is trading up premarket, currently at $419.50. As the market opens, we will gauge the trend, and should it appear as if the upward momentum will continue, we will most likely turn our attention to the $420 Calls.

Yesterday those Calls traded in a range from .80 to 4.70 before falling to as low as 1.10 and closing at 2.60. We’ll look use that volatility to our advantage as we attempt to ride Apple to sizable profits as we have so many times in the past.
