Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR, RSH & Extended Watchlist

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

Our continuous tracking of the PBR option chain never seems to go very long without offering up significant opportunities.  Beginning on August 20th, we placed the Jan.17th $19 Calls on watch for a longer-term trading idea. Following that tag, we would observe those contracts trading at a low 1.23.

This week PBR has pushed to new highs, breaking the $19-mark and maintaining it into its close at 19.21, which landed our $19 Calls at 2.25. That represents a one-week increase of 83% and that figure could stand to inflate even further.

Those who have been following PBR with us since March, when we spied a low of 11.25 will be pleased to know that as of yesterday’s new high of 19.32, the overall increase we’ve seen in the stock amounts to 72%


RadioShack Corp. RSH

We reminded readers of our recent bottom call of RSH yesterday morning, having seen the stock touch its 52-week low at .55. Over the last several sessions it had been regaining some ground, and that pattern continued into yesterday as well.

RSH would trade as low as .91 before pushing through a dollar and closing at its high of day at 1.09. That’s an increase of 20% on approximately 7x its 1-month average volume; a strong move. With a close like that, we’ll be looking for some of the momentum to carry over.

Yesterday’s closing price represents an increase of 98% over our observed low of .55.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PLUG, BIOF, PEIX & More

Yesterday we saw money leaving the Solar Sector from profit taking, and it seems we’ve found new stocks that are heating up quickly, in the Energy Sector.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG
PLUG first appeared in our reports back on February 15th. After being featured again in March 15th’s report, trading as low as .1161 at the time, and making its way up to .3177 by the 20th. That marked a gain of 174% Following that run, it pulled back to find support in the .15-range a few weeks ago.

Yesterday, the stock broke both the 100DMA (.28), its previous high at .3177, touched .3278, and closed just above the previous high at .318. We’d ideally like to see support hold at .318. Should it fall below that, we’ll need PLUG to hold support at .26-.285 in order for us to remain interested.

We’ve pointed out several key aspects of the chart below:


Continuing our theme of energy plays, here is a group that will be high on our watchlist today:
BIOF, PEIX, SCOK, FXEN,

BIOF and PEIX are some old-time favorites of ours in the ethanol sector. These two stocks generally tend to trend together, and have given us the opportunity for several gains over the long timespan we’ve covered them.

SCOK is a coal company that has recently gained some momentum, we want to keep an eye on that one today as well.

FXEN is a NASDAQ-listed energy play that also set off our scanners yesterday, as it enjoyed quite a fruitful trading session. Like the others, we want to keep an eye peeled for continuation of existing momentum.


We’d also like to congratulate ourselves for our stellar call of TCPS, which made a beauty of a run from .0025-.0061 (+144%), it then dipped back to .0045 and ran another 36% back to .0061, for cumulative intraday gains of 180%

It also made us the winners of yesterday’s Penny Stock Rumble:
