Blue Horseshoe Stocks: ACHN, PBR & Extended Watchlist

Petroleo Brasiliero S.A. (Petrobras) PBR

PBR had another solid day yesterday, dipping below $15 only briefly where it found support at 14.88 before going on to push its upper limits over the course of the session, acvhieving a new high for us at 15.34.

All of the options contracts that we’ve been monitoring on PBR served up chances to gain a significant amount as the stock continued to bull its way north.

Even our longer-term idea, the 07/19 $15 Calls we’ve been tracking since last week from a low of .25 has already given us the triple-bagger we suggested it might in last Wednesday’s report. They closed out the day at .88, an overall move of 252% and it would appear they want to gap up along with PBR stock this morning, so we expect that figure to increase even further.

PBR has come a long way since we caught it coming off of 10-year lows back on March 21st. The stock itself has regained a lot of ground, coming from our observed low of 11.25 all the way up to current levels above $15. As we stated yesterday, if PBR has a tough time breaking through resistance at its previous swing high of 15.85, we’ll start to think about taking profits off of the table.

Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ACHN

We have to begin this morning by congratulating any of our readers who picked up on our coverage of ACHN yesterday, which allowed us the chance to make sizable gains for the second day in a row.

The stock gapped up as it did on Monday and continued to roll, trading in a range from 6.02 to 7.81 on the day, giving traders the opportunity to pocket close to 30% in profits intraday on inordinately high volume (To the tune of more than 22x the 3-month average).

From the low of 3.72 that we observed on Monday, the stock has already made a fantastic  110% move to the upside over the span of just two sessions.

The company put more news out this morning as well:

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates on BFLX & SKYF, Extended Watchlist

Yesterday’s two momentum plays both fared extremely well, collectively allowing us the chance to bank more than 200% in cumulative intraday gains. Read ahead for an update of those performances:

Bioflamex Corp. BFLX

BFLX opened at .0009, and dipped as low as .0007 before closing out the day at the high of .0013, marking an overall intraday move of  86%

As you can plainly see on the intraday chart below of BFLX’s trading activity, there were several swings on the day, which actually tallied cumulative gains of 153%

The stock closed up 44% on the day, and did so on over 425 million shares traded. That’s the kind of momentum that is strong enough to sustain multi-day runs, so we’ll be on the lookout for that. There will be a point where profit-taking will drive the price back down, where we can be ready to time a dip-and-rip, if that’s the scenario with which we are presented.

In order to keep our interest, BFLX will have to hold support in the .0007-.0009 range.

SKY440, Inc. SKYF

 SKYF started out the day yesterday at .0013 and briefly dipped as low as .0012 before going on a romp, reaching a high of .0024, which marked a chance for a 100% intraday gains.

The stock closed at .002, up 54% on the day with 569 million shares trading hands, another example of the extreme liquidity that we like to see. For us to remain interested in this play, we’ll need to see support hold off of yesterday’s lows of .0012.

Extended Watchlist:

HALO, GORO, XXII, TC, PLUG

XIDE, RAYS, PLUG, XXII & Extended Watchlist

Exide Technologies XIDE
Our bottom bounce call of XIDE yesterday morning came just in the nick of time, as the stock opened at .1451, and saw a low of .13, before going on to hit a high of .2147, and ending the day at .195. All in all, a good play that afforded us a chance at intraday gains of up to
65%

It is important to remember that this is not a long-term play. The company has filed for Chapter 11, and its future is uncertain at best. No, we were in this one for a quick dead-cat bounce, and that’s just what we got.

Raystream Inc. RAYS
RAYS also made a nice intraday run yesterday, from its low of .0035, to a high of .0057 we were looking at possible gains of 63% That’s in addition to the 200%+ in gains that we’ve already seen from RAYS within the past few trading sessions.

Plug Power, Inc. PLUG
PLUG came off of the extended watchlist yesterday to rack in some modest yet respectable profits, gaining 24% on the day. We’ve been pounding the table on PLUG since February 15th, and since that time we’ve seen a low of .1155. To yesterday’s all-time high of .475, represents a 311% move.

22nd Century Group, Inc. XXII
Another play from yesterday’s extended watchlist that fared pretty well was XXII. It made a nice 19% intraday spike on more than 5X its 3mo. average volume before closing the day flat.
