Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PBR, NQ & Extended Watchlist

Petroleo Brasiliero (Petrobras) PBR

PBR, which did so well for us earlier this year, is a point of focus for us once again. Since the huge gains the stock afforded us from March-May, it has consolidated a bit, and bounced off the 200DMA (Currently 13.69). We are turning our attention to PBR once again, because we want to be ready when the next upswing comes into effect.

We’d like to see support hold off of the 200DMA, and for the stock to make higher highs and higher lows to confirm the trend. When that occurs, we’ll be turning to the options chain as we did this spring, and presently, we have our eyes on the 07/19 $15 Calls, which as of yesterday were trading in the .30-.38 range.

In the event that the stock tests its recent swing high of 15.85 by the expiration date, it could spell a double or triple for those contracts, so we’ll really want to keep a close watch.

NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

We’ve been tracking NQ this week; including the play in Monday’s Extended Watchlist, and this morning, we are seeing some serious pre-market activity on the stock. It is coming off of a recent bottom, and has already begun to fill one of the gaps on the chart this morning (Up to a high 10.45).

This morning’s announcement is regarding the independent findings of the investigative committee assigned to look into fraud allegations levied against the company in the fall. NQ looks as if it will be cleared of any wrongdoing, and that appears to be contributing to this morning’s spike.

We could be looking into this one at just the right time; in addition to this morning’s good news, the company is also due to release its annual financials, and some positive figures could add even more fuel to the fire. Conditions appear to be reaching an ideal level for us to potentially register some sizable gains with this play.

PLUG, YRCW, VNDA, PCGX, FNMA, FMCC & Extended Watchlist

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG
–
PLUG continues to be a winner for us, seemingly, every time we mention it in one of our reports. Yesterday, we were anticipating a potentially profitable session based on observed indicators on the chart, and once again our timing proved to be extremely accurate.After touching a low of .58 early in the day, PLUG would climb for the rest of the session, closing at its high-of-day, .67. That represents a solid 16% increase on slightly less than twice the 3mo. average volume. With a head of steam like that building, we’ll be sure to continue monitoring PLUG today.

YRC Worldwide, Inc. YRCW

On Wednesday, YRCW appeared in our extended watchlist as a play that was gapping down, noting that we were on the lookout for a reversal. That’s just what happened, as we observed a 13% intraday move from the stock on that day. We continued to monitor YRCW yesterday and were once again met with positive results.

Trading in a daily range from a low of 7.51, YRCW was up as high as 8.699, marking a 16% intraday gain.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. VNDA

After an appearance in Tuesday’s extended watchlist, and a feature in Wednesday’s report, wherein we were expecting FDA-related news from VNDA regarding a New Drug Application. The result was so highly-anticipated that it warranted NASDAQ to halt the stock on Thursday.

The FDA committee indeed met and are recommending approval of the company’s drug “tasimelteon, proposed tradename HETLIOZ(TM), for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Disorder (Non-24) in the totally blind.” Non-24 is

As expected, the stock has resumed trading today and is gapping up this morning, with trades going off in the 14.60-16.50 range. This is already a substantial increase from our initial alert price at 11.07, and with positively-charged FDA news hot off the presses, profit margins could very well expand even further.

Virtual Sourcing, Inc. PGCX

Our timing was just a little bit early in our October 24th mention of PGCX. We were looking out for a bottom that would take until early last week to occur. However, when it did, it bounced off of support at .08, and subsequently made a 100% rip to .16.

The stock caught our eye yesterday, as it appeared to be searching out support once again, and found it at .09. We are curious to see how high the resulting bounce here could be in comparison to the one we observed previously.

Fannie Mae FNMA
& Freddie Mac FMCC

We follow this mortgage lending pair fairly regularly, and began re-introducing them onto our main watchlist on October 24th. At the time FNMA was trading as low as 1.86, and FMCC at 1.69. Each has been on a steady increase since that time, with Fannie hitting a high of 3.08, and Freddie, 2.90. Both show no signs of relenting today, and are gapping up in premarket trading. (FNMA last traded at 3.42, FMCC at 3.30)

Some of you might remember the gains amounting to 350% we saw from these play earlier this year, so if past results are any indication of what we can expect from these two moving forward, we could be in for yet another wild ride at their expense.

CETV, VNDA, PHOT & Extended Watchlist

Central European Media Enterprises, Inc. CETV

We first caught CETV off of one of our From-4 scans back on May 10th. Time Warner had just purchased a block of shares worth close to $75M, and it caused us to take notice of the stock. At the time, we observed trades as low as 2.67.

As you can see on the chart below, CETV was on a fairly steady incline after that, recently (10/25) hitting a high of 6.60, a 147% move off of our observed bottom.

Shortly thereafter the stock would be subject to a big gap-down, and would continue to pull back to its current price in the low 2.00-range. The chart indicates that CETV is extremely oversold, and it has made higher lows over the past few sessions as it attempts to reverse its course. We want to keep our eyes peeled to this one, because conditions seem to be ripening for what could be a heck of a rebound.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. VNDA

VNDA was a momentum play that we caught and included in yesterday’s extended watchlist. The company currently has a NDA (new drug application) filed with the FDA that treats chronic circadian arrhythmia.

After touching a low of 11.07 we saw a subsequent high of 13.49, a 22% intraday gain.

Growlife, Inc. PHOT

PHOT continues to be among our favorite medical/legal marijuana stocks, a play that we’ve followed for well over a year. Beginning at the end of August, trading at .0318, we realerted PHOT and began talking about it more and more. We posted another reminder on the 16th of September, and once again on October 22nd, when we mentioned that a golden cross on the chart was imminent.

During yesterday’s session PHOT hit .1029, which marks a 224% increase off of the bottom we observed in late August. Even those who missed that report, could have caught the stock as low as .042 following the 09/16 reminder, for up to a 125% gain at yesterday’s high. From the third report we mentioned (10/22), significant gains to the tune of 43% from .0719-.1029 could have been achieved.

GOGO, NQ, GERN & Extended Watchlist

Gogo, Inc. GOGO

We’ve been pounding the table on GOGO for the past couple of months, and the stock had a great session following yesterday’s mention on the strength of their earnings release. From our initial alert price at 14.79, yesterday’s high of 24.85 represents a gain of 68% on roughly 6 times the 3mo average volume.

NQ Mobile, Inc. NQ

NQ also had a fruitful session to kick off the week yesterday, trading from a low of 11.55 up to 13.55, a 17% intraday gain.

The low following our first alert on NQ was 8.42; yesterday’s high represents an increase of 61%

Geron, Corp. GERN

GERN behaved as expected yesterday; if you recall, we were looking for the stock to reverse its downtrend, and it did find a bottom at 4.69. The resulting bounce pushed the price up 10% to 5.18, and the stock closed at 5.05.

Moving forward were looking for GERN to achieve higher lows, holding support above yesterday’s low of 4.69.

AZFL, MWIP & Extended Watchlist

Amazonas Florestal Ltd. AZFL

AZFL first appeared as a main focus in our reports on November 28th. On that day, the stock was as low as .047 when we noticed it starting to recover off of its bottom, and has since been maintaining higher lows, and building support in the .05-.06 range. At one point last week, we saw a high of .09, which looks to be our key area of resistance. A break above that level, and the stock could easily return to recent highs of .11-.12.

In the event that it does return to that .09-.12 range, we would be looking at additional gains of 22-63% from yesterday’s close of .0735.

This has been a long-term play for us from the very beginning, and we don’t see that changing anytime soon. With the magnitude of today’s PR, it seems things are only just beginning to heat up.

We have also taken the liberty of preparing a video presentation of the AZFL chart :

Today’s News:

MediSwipe, Inc. MWIP

Yesterday was our third consecutive day of monster volume and huge gains out of MWIP. After reaching a high of .019, the stock retraced a bit and closed out the day maintaining over 50% of its gains at .015. The stock has closed green for five days running; we will be looking for bounce opportunities once the inevitable dip comes to pass. With the amount of momentum in this play, we may not see that pullback until later in the week as things begin to slow down in anticipation of the forthcoming holidays.

Any way you slice it, we are thrilled with the performance of this stock since we brought it into focus for the first time in Mid-October, having afforded us the opportunity to pocket up to 692% in cumulative gains during that time. In the past, these big gainers have generally been good for bounce-plays as the dust from a major run settles, which is why we will be monitoring this one continuously, as we go forward.
