Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CANV, ACHN, FREE & More

CannaVest Corp. CANV 

CANV is a stock that recently fell off of a cliff, and found itself trading at 52-week lows.  We like to monitor such plays during their recovery, which has already begun in this case. Trading near its annual lows, CANV appears undervalued, especially in light of the figures contained in the earnings report put out by the company yesterday.

Highlights included a Q2 net income of slightly over $8M, as compared to a net loss of $348K for the same quarter in 2013, and over $9M in cash on-hand. We suggest you read the release in its entirety >>> FULL PR

Check out these websites for some background on Cannavest (http://www.CannaVest.com) and its subsidiaries, which include US Hemp Oil, LLC (http://www.USHempOil.com), and CannaVest Laboratories, LLC (http://www.CannaVestLabs.com).. We’re always interested tracking a revenue-generating company in the cannabis sector, and CANV fits the bill.

The stock was trading as high as $20.00 just a few months ago; regaining even a portion of the ground it has lost from current prices in the mid-$3 range would mean the chance at a significant profit for nimble traders.


Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACHN

ACHN is a stock we began to track earlier this summer (June 9th) as it was in the midst of a massive surge. At the time we caught it at a low of 3.72, and it ran to nearly $8 over just a two-session span. In the following months, it had been trading in a rough channel between the mid-$6’s and mid-$7’s, and just cracked over $8 yesterday for the first time in more than a year.

This morning’s PR regarding the company’s hepatitis C drug, which was been found to cure all patients in mid-stage trials is also contributing to a huge gap-up that has the stock pushing the $10 mark in the premarket. At that level, we’re already looking at a 168% move up from the the lows we observed in June, and we’re certainly going to have the stock on more intensive watch moving forward.



FreeSeas, Inc. FREE

After appearing in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, FREE went on to break above the 50DMA at .66, and run 28% intraday from .631-.809.  We want to see higher highs and higher lows acheived as this is another play coming off of its 52-week lows. We’ll need to see it maintain support above the previous 50DMA of .66 in order to keep our attention.

The spike we’re seeing here comes in conjunction with yesterday’s announcement that FREE had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders equity rule. >>> FULL PR

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: AAN, RFMD, FTNW & Extended Watchlist

Aarons, Inc. AAN – Options

One item of interest that we’ve been waiting to touch upon is AAN. We’ve watched as the stock has taken quite a beating over the past few weeks, and are presently scanning for a bottom. After losing so much ground over so short a time period, when support is found, the recovery on AAN could end up allowing for some rapid profits in the options chain.

While we need to first observe a solid base of support before setting our short-term call strategy, there are already a pair of longer-term contracts that we’re going to put on watch. The November 22nd $29 and $30 Calls (trading yesterday at 3.20 and 2.05, respectively) could see significant rises in value once a reversal occurs on the chart.


RF Micro Devices, Inc. RFMD

We brought RFMD up as a topic of discussion this past Friday, mentioning that the spike catalyzed by the release of record revenues was likely to lead to a classic ‘dip-and-rip’ scenario. That keen instinct has thus far paid off, as the stock did indeed dip to 10.74 before rebounding as high as 11.79 (+10%), achieving higher lows each day over the past four sessions.

As a result of the trend, we’re going to have our eyes on the September $12 Calls, which closed at .70 yesterday.


FTE Networks, Inc. FTNW

FTNW hit our news scanner this morning and will be a stock that we monitor as the trading session opens today. The PR alludes to some lucrative contracts, so we’ll be interested to see how it reacts to such significant press.

PSID, DEWM, TTDZ & Extended Watchlist

Positive ID Corp. PSID

The timing of our alert on PSID yesterday turned out to be fortunate, as the stock reversed its recent trend and underwent a bounce just as we had suggested it might. After gapping up slightly from last Friday’s close at .06, it traded from .062 up to .075, a 21% intraday move. We saw higher lows and higher highs, which included a breach of the seven-cent resistance point we mentioned yesterday, and closed up 13% on the day having traded roughly 30% more volume than its 3-month average.

We’ll be looking for PSID to do as it did yesterday, making higher lows and higher highs, which would confirm that yesterday’s rebound was not an isolated event.

Check out the following video chart of PSID:


Dewmar International BMC, Inc. DEWM

We mentioned DEWM for the first time on February 10th, and on that day, observed a low of .0036. We couldn’t be much more pleased with what the stock has done since then, making higher lows and higher highs every single day. At yesterday’s high of .029, we were looking at possible gains of 705% from the low we witnessed just six sessions ago!

Big congratulations are in order for anyone who was able to take advantage of this awesome run by DEWM. We’re going to continue to follow the stock up while on the lookout for any signs of a pullback, which will eventually lead to what we feel could be some impressive rebound action.


Triton Distribution Systems, Inc. TTDZ

TTDZ first appeared on our radar on January 30th after we noticed a share reduction from 1.5B to 1.2B. Around that time the company was working to clear up an issue regarding its reporting status on OTC Markets, and has now attained Current Status once again. We’ve seen this stock come from a low of .0012 and run to .0049 (02/07). It followed that move with a consolidation down to .0021 (02/14), and yesterday found its way back to a high of .0049, where it closed.

Combining the two major runs we’ve seen from TTDZ in the 6 weeks we’ve been watching it, brings us to cumulative gains amounting to 441%
