Be Part of Something Significant in Investing

Dearest Readers,

First, I would like to thank everyone for your cooperation/support during these last few months of the year, with a high increase of followers on Stocktwits (54000) and Twitter (25300). Then, inform you that in the next 3 weeks (starting just Tuesday) I will be on vacations and will not be back to update the blog until 10th of September. But before I leave you, will introduce again a small overview of the features/signals that Stockal app gives us as a user.

For many years most retail investors and traders have envied people who get to use tools like Bloomberg Terminal or Reuters Eikon. What these expensive but holistic platforms offer in terms of usage is probably unparalleled in the industry - putting the most relevant information in the hands of the investor/trader at just the right time. Of course, the cost is in thousands of dollars and therefore cannot be afforded by individual investors.

Startups and tech companies have often tried to create something low-cost and useful for retail investors that could give them the same comfort that a Bloomberg Terminal gives to the professionals. I always wanted to be part of an effort of this nature - take on the "big boys", build something that investors like myself find really-really useful etc. And with Stockal, I am taking that opportunity.

A great team building an awesome product - much of which is already live and being used by thousands of investors everyday. I would love to have you, my reader and friend, join me in becoming an early user of Stockal by getting their lifetime subscription. While you will get super-cheap access to a product that could become the Terminal or Eikon for retail investors, Stockal will get your support and feedback in building a truly great platform. Of course, this will also get them the funds to continue building with confidence.


Stockal PRO, for which this limited-time, Lifetime Subscription is on offer is building-up towards a truly holistic investing platform. You can import your portfolios from brokerages like Fidelity, ETrade, Scottrade, Options House and many more and get a unified view of all your money. Stockal also has fantastic screener in addition to automatic investing ideas and suggestions to help you discover personalized stocks and ETFs. Some brilliant machine learning at work. There are also investing signals for each stock along with news, analyst articles, relevant social conversations and fundamental data so that you don't have to use ANY other tool. Then there's a great alert system to tell you about insider trades, FDA calendar, SEC filings and changes in your holdings - you don't have to move an inch to stay on top of your investments.

There's more but I'll stop here. I will only let you know that you can get the lifetime sub for $99 by getting it now. Next month onwards, Stockal is launching is regular monthly subscriptions and then it will obviously become more expensive. But much cheaper than the Bloomberg! Get your subscription HERE

 Thank you and Good luck to all of you.

My watchlist for next week before going to vacations

( click to enlarge )

Jumei International Holding Ltd (NYSE:JMEI) was one of the biggest winners on Friday as the stock closed up 69 cents on the day with huge volumes. I alerted this stock few days ago at $2.35 (August 9th post) and closed Friday at 3.52. Looking at the technical daily chart the near-term outlook is very positive, however and due to the overbought conditions, we could see some profit taking here. Congrats to all of my followers who profited from it.

( click to enlarge )

J C Penney Company Inc (NYSE:JCP) printed a hammer candlestick Friday on high volume characteristic of a bullish reversal. This could signal a short-term reversal of the price decline. Momentum indicators are also turning up from extreme oversold levels. If the stock breaks Friday's high at 3.62, the stock could see a further move into 3.82-4 area.

( click to enlarge )

OpGen Inc (NASDAQ:OPGN) Potential bottom play next week. The stock price has fallen hard over the past several weeks and looks ready for a rebound. The technical daily chart above is not only oversold but also shows a stock ready to post a sizeable bounce with several key momentum indicators showing positive divergences. Keep in mind, this is a penny stock so play it like a penny stock.

( click to enlarge )

Biostage Inc (NASDAQ:BSTG) this penny stock is also looking to make a move higher off this strong support level. The time might be coming for a big bounce that could send it back over 42 cents, so I think its worth watching for a bounce next week.

( click to enlarge )

After being trading in a bearish tone since April the stock appears to making a comeback in favor of the bulls. Apricus Biosciences Inc (NASDAQ:APRI) caught my attention last week. The signal to buy was given when the previous day high (1.45) was taken out. This breakout suggests a possible move to $2. The stock showed a lot of strength and I expect to see another round of buying. The volume on up days is greater than the volume on down days meaning big boys are more interested on long side. On the technical side, the chart looks very good here.

( click to enlarge )

Senseonics Holdings Inc (NYSEMKT:SENS) displayed some impressive relative strength Friday with a 13.93% gain on volume well above average. I think we will see some nice follow through tomorrow. Next major resistance lies at 2.92

( click to enlarge )

Control4 Corp (NASDAQ:CTRL) made a nice upside reversal Friday in a weak market. It may be ready to break out of this potential bullish consolidation. Breakout watch over 24.94

( click to enlarge )

Dynegy Inc. (NYSE:DYN) Closed above the declining 200-day exponential moving average for the first time in several months and was with an increase in volume, which shows us there are buyers in the stock. With the daily momentum indicators on the above chart showing positive trends I think a push to $9.8 or better could be in the making. Friday's high volume could be a signal for trend change and the beginning of a potential major move higher. On watch.

My Watchlist for Thursday, Aug 17

( click to enlarge )

MannKind Corporation (NASDAQ:MNKD) The downtrend line has been broken on the daily technical chart. The price can move up to $1.8/1.88 in the short-term. Indicators are looking bullish and the MACD recently produced a new buy signal. Should breakout hard to upside when it crosses over $1.51. Long setup.

( click to enlarge )

Image Sensing Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ISNS) is showing extremely oversold conditions on daily chart. Plus, potential double bottom. Looks ready for a short-term bounce IMHO (thin name).

( click to enlarge )

Ophthotech Corp (NASDAQ:OPHT) Nice breakout on solid volume. There is a good chance the stock will continue to move up.

( click to enlarge )

Baozun Inc (NASDAQ:BZUN) Strong bullish candle on decent volume, tomorrow we need to watch for a follow-through day.

( click to enlarge )

Pareteum Corp (NYSEMKT:TEUM) has been pulling back with lower volume after a big surge in price on Monday. Might be worth watching for a new move to the upside. Im in.

( click to enlarge )

Northern Dynasty Minerals Ltd (NYSEMKT:NAK) Worth eyeing, poised to breakout. If it breaks tomorrow, we could see +$1.8 quickly.

My Watchlist for Tuesday, Aug 15

( click to enlarge )

Medgenics Inc (NASDAQ:GNMX) had a great move on the upside yesterday and closed above the declining 50-day EMA for the first time since March with volume backed confirmation. I went long as its quite possible we should see a short-term move to 1.85. The technical chart shows bullish sign with +DI line on top of -DI line and MACD rising. There could be good upside in GNMX so watch the stock closely on Tuesday.

( click to enlarge )

Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ:VUZI) is setting up to break out and has one more level to go, which is $6.30. Daily technical indicators are looking bullish. The MACD has formed a bullish rounding bottom and crossed above its signal line, while the 9-Day RSI is about to cross into bullish territory. The stock has plenty of room to run and insiders are starting to buy.

( click to enlarge )

Qualstar Corporation (NASDAQ:QBAK) closed the day just above the break out point after some decent swings. The stock may attempt to go higher from here. The daily technical chart above shows the stock is on a bull market as the stock is trading above all EMAs and in a clear uptrend. Let's keep an eye on it as i think there could be a decent short squeeze.

( click to enlarge )

Ophthotech Corp (NASDAQ:OPHT) Big reversal candlestick on the daily technical chart on strong volume. The stock closed with an impressive gain of 6% to end the day at 2.71 (above the EMA50) after falling about 10% earlier in the session. This creates a bullish scenario going forward and we might see a strong bounce here. On the daily time-frame, the daily MACD lines and stochastics are all rising supporting the bullish view. If the momentum continues, the initial target price is 3.10, followed by 3.24. Short-term investors can hold with a stop at 2.37

( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) bounced nicely off the 50-day EMA on volume. Based on the chart and price action, i think the stock should test the recent highs soon. On watch.

( click to enlarge )

Sangamo Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:SGMO) Huge run from my alert on twitter/Stockal. The stock broke above the upper line of the "consolidation" range and the volume was also above average.

A Promising Product In-the-making For Active Investors

If your investing style is like most other people, you are going to love Stockal. 

 Most of us begin with scouting for investing ideas - in other words - identifying the kind of stocks we are interested in. It can be done either by thinking of sectors to look at or market caps to consider or some other similar parameter. Then we narrow down on a list of stocks from that criteria and add them to watchlist. We constantly “watch” those stocks for inflection points or events - such as FDA alerts, earnings calls, technical boundaries being met, insider trades etc - and pull the trigger. Then we look for the right trigger to sell as well. 

This obviously involves a lot of work. From identifying to shortlisting to watching to investing to tracking and then finally selling. Stockal looks like a pretty awesome tool for all of the above needs. And the best thing is that it covers almost all of the above requirements so smoothly that it fulfills most of your investing needs holistically. 

From idea discovery to intelligence about individual stocks to trading (via your brokerage account which you can import into Stockal) to tracking with alerts, it does everything! Basically there’s an awesome screener, very flexible and very easy to use. There’s automated intelligence for each stock from a holistic perspective - analysts, social media, news and fundamental data. There’s tons of news and reports to read so you don’t have to go to ANY other platform for that. 

There are smart alerts to inform you about insider transactions and such, so you don’t have to subscribe to some other service or keep checking the SEC website. There’s trading, so you can import your portfolios from brokerages like Fidelity, eTrade, Scottrade and many more. And all of it will be on an app next month with some more intelligent features to make your life easy. More details in a video the end of this post. Parts of it are already out there and being used by a few thousand investors. Some of it is still under development and looks like they are planning to make a full release sometime in September’17. 

They are offering a Lifetime Subscription of Stockal PRO for a select few users this month (regular monthly subscriptions start next month, now is a good time to take advantage of the lifetime sub) before they go live fully. And I think it’s a totally awesome opportunity to get in while the doors are open and while it’s available at a steep discount. 

Want to see some features in action? Try this video that’s being circulated.

My Watchlist for Monday, Aug 07

( click to enlarge )

Cryptocurrencies are ripping higher again ($BTC.X bitcoin hit a new all-time high above $3300) and you should keep an eye on MGTI stock next week. This company is growing its capacity in mining Bitcoin, producing about 100 Bitcoins per month, ranking it as one of the largest U.S. based Bitcoin miners. This play is viewed as one of those potentially quick moving, volatile momentum plays. The stock has the technical setup that most aggressive traders dream of. The daily technical chart shows possibillity of a new rally as the stock is trading above 50 day and 200 day exponential moving average while 50 day exponential moving average is about to cross above 200 day exponential moving average to form a very bullish buy signal, the Golden Cross. In addition, with MACD above 0 and showing signs of turning up again, a major rally is probably coming. If it breaks above the recent high of $1.45 then I could see this stock moving to $2.25 and then $2.84. The stock closed Friday at $1.14 and has a 52-week high of $4.04. I still holding a strong position in this company because i trust in the project of John McAfee. It is my honest opinion, nothing more. Note: MGTI trades in the OTC Market.

( click to enlarge )

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) Keep this one on watch, it could be setting up to break out of this large consolidation. Go long when it breaks on heavy volume. The rising EMA50 should be used as stop.

( click to enlarge )

Sierra Oncology Inc (NASDAQ:SRRA) Continuing to watch as it tests this old resistance area. If the stock breaks the $1.52 level the first target is $1.68 followed by $2.05. The accumulation line still rising.

( click to enlarge )

Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE:IPI) is looking absolutely wonderful. Next buy point when it breaks out to new highs.

( click to enlarge )

I had 22nd Century Group Inc (NYSEMKT:XXII) on my watchlist a few times this month and Friday it broke out in impressive fashion on volume expansion. Watch for continuation. Next immediate resistance is 2.54

( click to enlarge )

Cara Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:CARA) Setting up to clear this resistance area, keep on watch.

Twitter in Focus and Why Stockal Makes Sense

I wanted to do a couple of things with this post. Ponder upon why there are anomalies in the market where some products we seem to love so much never convert into winning stocks and how we should be looking at data and analysis in today's changing environment.

So, Twitter is such a baffling study. While the platform has always been one of the most used, and often the most impactful, social network with its ability to break news and create trends, the company has never really garnered relevant investor confidence. It has regularly failed to live-up to revenue expectations and the stock has therefore never been investors' darling - always raising existential questions about the company. Is it going be an industry laggard forever?

Will it finally get acquired soon? Who knows! The price is probably attractive for an acquisition at least a couple of times every year - but no one seems to be ready to pull the trigger. Plus, there are growth concerns. So I thought why not look at the data slightly differently.

So I went on Stockal and looked at Twitter. Stockal has a couple of interesting things that other analysis platforms don't have. They look at data from an angle that often provides some unique insights. Stockal's Confidence Meter.

( click to enlarge )

Did you see the interesting correlation there? Confidence Meter is the "weighted consensus" of Wall Street analyst opinion about any stock and Stockal has created and charted this parameter for over 4000 stocks. So, while the Wall Street confidence in Twitter is certainly low now (12% is so bearish), when it did go up to nearly 30%, the price surged more than 20%. Interesting, right? And this is not technical analysis obviously. This is pure interpretation of what Wall Street is saying. Just a much more mature and scientific interpretation.

And that's why I like Stockal and often urge my followers and readers to get in on it. Because Stockal has a unique way of looking at data and is building something useful, they get my support. Like any new product, Stockal needs users and feedback and capital as they go on creating a platform that many-many investors will find useful over the next few years.

They are innovating at multiple levels - using machine learning to create features such as a personalized stock discovery system and unique indicators such as Confidence Meter - to create a product that's very user friendly.

( click to enlarge )

And much like a crowdfunding process to get capital and users,

Stockal has launched a Lifetime Subscription for it's first 5,000 users which I highly recommend. Wouldn't you support them as well?

Have a great weekend everyone !!

My Watchlist for Thursday, Aug 03

( click to enlarge )

Intrepid Potash, Inc. (NYSE:IPI) Finally made a decision today and broke resistance to the upside. The stock looks good for higher prices but the RSI on the daily chart is now overbought, so i will wait for a small pullback to pivot to enter.

( click to enlarge )

CytRx Corporation (NASDAQ:CYTR) Typical pullback after a great run. Im accumulating for next rally that should break the top of this range. Looking at the accumulation/distribution chart we can see that the stock has been under accumulation for the last several weeks. Bias remains to the upside. The recent price volume and buying action, seems to support this view.

( click to enlarge )

Agios Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:AGIO) had a nice break out today and rose over 5%. If the stock can sustain this strong momentum $65 is not out of the question. Keep it on your radar over the coming days.

( click to enlarge )

Black Diamond Inc (NASDAQ:BDE) Keep a close eye on this one, looks ready to break this resistance to the upside.

( click to enlarge )

InspireMD Inc (NYSEMKT:NSPR) This one is reaching a decision point. Watching for 50c breakout. All major indicators are in favor of an upward price movement. MACD has generated a new buy signal and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is rising again. This momentum could push this stock much higher from here. Keep the stock on your radar for Thursday’s trading day.

( click to enlarge )

Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALNY) may be ready to break out of this consolidation. The daily technical chart looks very good. Breakout watch over 86.92
