Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AGTK Recap, Options & More

Agritek Holdings, Inc. AGTK

The standout runner from yesterday morning’s premarket report ended up being AGTK. We noticed it had been ramping up in PPS over the preceding two sessions, and figured it was worth tracking. We were right on in our assumption, as the stock traded in a respectable daily range, running into the close with strength.

AGTK saw an early low of .00168 before running to a high of .0025, representing a single-session spike of 49% The move came on stronger-than-average volume, and marked the third straight session of higher highs and higher lows.

We’ll remain interested in tracking the activity in AGTK provided it can hold support at or above .002; next key areas of resistance are at the 50 and 200DMA’s at .0029 and .0031, respectively.


Options Ideas:

We’ve got a pair of options chains to watch as well, for the following ideas:

Ford Motor Co. F – Our idea concerning Ford is based more off of technical factors of the current chart. As you can see, there are a number of indicators pointing to the possibility of a forthcoming recovery. We want to select a set of contracts with an extended expiration to give our idea time to manifest; the F 09/16 $12.75 Calls. The stock is searching for a bottom, and we’ll need to wait until just the right moment when it begins to rebound and possibly make a run at filling the gap.


______

Time Warner, Inc. TWX – The other plays we’re going to be keeping an eye on are short term, weekly expiration ideas: TWX Weekly $77-79 Calls.


Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. OMEX

Lastly, we want to put another new play on watch, based purely off of the look of the chart. As you can see, OMEX is in the process of filling a major gap on its chart from this spring, and it just bulled through its 200DMA yesterday. The RSI has also cracked into the power zone, so we’ll definitely be observing the near-term activity on this play.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: RUSS Recap, Gap-Up List & More

Direxion Daily Russia Bear 3X ETF (RUSS)

A few weeks back, on February 23rd, we radared the RUSS, which is a fund that trades with an inverse relationship with the Russian economy.

The past week has been particularly troubling for Russia, as its central bank slashed the primary interest rate by a full percent while revealing that its growth forecast predicted a shrinking of the economy by as much as 4% this year.

These and other economic curve-balls, including the continued lag in oil prices, have fueled a healthy rebound in the RUSS from the recent low we observed at 11.22. Friday’s high of 15.77 marked a 40% swing in a matter of eight trading sessions.

With some holding the belief that an even more severe and protracted economic meltdown could be in the cards for Russia, we’ll want to monitor RUSS on an ongoing basis.


Morning Gapper Watchlist

These are a few stocks that are cropping up on our scanner this morning as they gap up in the premarket. We’ll be on the lookout for the possibilities of continued momentum and/or dip-and-rip scenarios:

Microvision, Inc. MVIS  has been in blue-sky breakout mode for the past several sessions, and is gapping up today on the heel of the following PR:

Midstates Petroleum Co. Inc. MPO  is trading up in early activity this morning on a Q4 earnings and revenue beat:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: APT, VTAE, NEWC & More

Alpha Pro Tech Ltd. APT 

Here’s a past gainer that began to catch our attention yesterday- We jumped on APT for the first time back on October 10th, while the stock was in the middle of a huge run. We observed the low of 5.72 on that day, and the stock took just two more sessions to reach a high of 10.73, marking a move of 87%

Following that big spike, APT had been beaten back over the past couple weeks, and this week, has begun to bounce off support above the 50DMA (3.58). We want to pay attention as the stock attempts a recovery.


Vitae Pharma, Inc. VTAE

We want to put VTAE on our radar as we close out the week, and keep an eye on it moving forward. The stock is gapping up big this morning; it had already been on the incline prior to yesterday’s news that really served to heat things up.

VTAE announced it had received positive results from a couple of its Phase-1 trials for an Alzheimer’s treatment they claim “Demonstrated Greater Than 80% Reduction of an Alzheimer’s Disease Biomarker” >> VIEW PR

The statement indicated that the results would lead to further trials over the next several months, so we’re going to enter VTAE into the log and reserve it a spot on our watchlists.


New Columbia Resources, Inc. NEWC

NEWC is a play we want to radar and add to our expansive marijuana-stock watchlist. We’re always keeping our eyes peeled for new cannabis stocks to watch, and we caught this one on a news scan today.

The company announced that its “Colombian subsidiary, Sannabis S.A.S., has legally produced  a trial run of cannabis based products on an Indian reservation.”


Infinera Corp. INFN

INFN appeared in yesterday’s report and made a decent move on strong volume, to the tune of nearly 10X the monthly average. The stock traded in a range from 12.17-13.96, a 15% intraday increase. We’ll be keeping watch over this play into next week as well.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PSID, KNDI, PBR & Extended Watchlist

PositiveID Corp. PSID

The first thing we’d like to do this morning is go over how well PSID performed yesterday following our pre-market alert. Our timing proved to be spot-on in calling the bottom on this play, and after putting it on high alert in our report, we were rewarded with a couple of chances to gain over the course of the session.

The stock ran hard out of the starting gate, with trading opening up at .043 and rapidly reaching the day’s high at .064, a spike of 48% That was followed by a pullback to .049 where we got another upswing, this time to .058, a modest yet respectable intraday move of 18%

Those two significant swings combined for cumulative total gains of 66% on the day, and the stock managed to close at .057, holding on to much of the day’s forward progress. This all occurred on roughly 6x PSID’s 3-month average volume.

Congrats to anyone who was able to make PSID work for them, and be sure to stay tuned, as a performance like that could lead to a strong finish to the week.


Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. KNDI

This is a stock that we’ve been tracking for over a year now, as a quick look at KNDI’s archive on our blog will reveal. Our most recent tag of this stock came via Monday morning’s extended watchlist, and over the course of the week, it has yielded quite a nice move; We saw a low of 15.76 on Monday, and by yesterday’s session we observed a high of 20.96, an intraweek gain of 33%

Those who may have picked up on this play following our next most recent alert of this play (June 12th ) could have caught a low of 12.30. Yesterday’s high marked a 70% move up from that level.


Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

Our regulars are aware of how tenaciously we’ve covered PBR this year. On March 21st we added it to our watchlist as it was coming off of 10-year lows. Our observed low that day was 11.25, and the stock never looked back. We’ve traded primarily in the options chain of PBR and have made percentage gains in the thousands over the course of several months, but even the overall action on the stock itself has been impressive.

Yesterday’s session set a new high of 16.43 and in premarket trading today that has been pushed to more than $17, from the low we saw this spring, that’s an overall move of over 50% on the chart.

However, the swing action on this play over the past few months has been terrific, as we’ve pointed out on the following chart. As you can see, after our initial alert, there have been no less than three major swings. The current positioning breaks PBR out of the channel we illustrate below, signaling potential for further moves to the upside.

As far as the options chain is concerned, we’ll be looking for a pullback from profit taking on this major spike, and after that, we’re interested in the potential of the $16.50 and $17.00 Weekly Calls for an intraday flip opportunity today.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ACGX Update, PSID News

Alliance Creative Group, Inc. ACGX

ACGX has been under consolidation for the past few sessions, and we’re now turning our attention back to the stock, putting it on bottom watch to start this new trading week. We’ll definitely want to be around when finds support and begins to rebound, as we’ve already witnessed the rapid swing capability of this play.

If you recall, we were recently afforded the chance at gains of up to 100% when ACGX ran from .0055 to .0011, so even if we only saw a fraction of that movement, it could result in a significant percentage increase.

Below, we’ve pointed out the area of support that we’d like to see act as a base for the next swing cycle:

PositiveID Corp. PSID

PSID is another old favorite that we’re turning our attention to this morning after catching a fresh addition to the news feed. This is one PR that you’re probably going to want to read through, as it outlines an agreement the company has signed with NASA.

This won’t be the first high-profile association we’ve seen from PositiveID; the company has generated a lot of collaborative interest from government agencies with regard to its bio-detection technologies.

As far as the PSID chart is concerned, we’d like to see support continue to hold at .07, and are looking to see the 50DMA at .09 to be broken.

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., May 5, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PositiveID Corporation (“PositiveID” or “Company”) (PSID), a developer of biological detection and diagnostics solutions, announced today that it has signed a Space Act Agreement with NASA’s Ames Research Center to collaborate on testing the Company’s Firefly Dx detection system (“Firefly”) as a platform for biological research and commercial development for ground and space applications. >> FULL PR

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR – Options

Last Tuesday, we pointed out our interest in the PBR, specifically with regard to the options chain. We stated that we would be “monitoring the $13.50 and $14 Weekly Calls throughout the rest of the week for potential dip-and-rip opportunities.”, and that’s exactly what we got.

As you can see from the screen capture below taken Friday afternoon, the $13.50 Calls ran from a low of roughly .30 on Thursday, and tested highs over 1.10 heading into Friday’s close. The $14’s observed a similar pattern, but with much more significant results, running 1575% from .04 to .67:

Congratulations are in order for anyone who caught these calls, which are just the latest in a long line of opportunities. PBR has performed well for us on multiple occasions since our very first mention (03/21), and we’ll continue to look to it for further chances to profit. Presently, 14.87 is the next key area of resistance that we’re looking to see broken on the chart.
