Stocks on my top watchlist for potential swing trades next week

Pizza Inn (NASDAQ:RAVE) broke out of a bottom consolidation yesterday, jumping 15% on decent volume, reclaiming the declining 200-day EMA. Definitely one to watch on Monday. Possible gapper candidate. A growing number of individual cities are locking down partially their citizens again in a bid to curb the explosion in COVID-19 infections, so I think the delivery food sector will start moving again. From a technical standpoint, the stock closed above its 200-day EMAs for the first time in months and all short-term EMAs are turning up. Daily technical indicators are also in bullish zones showing upward momentum. As you can see on chart, if it breaks the 1.10 area a vertical move to $2 is likely.

Dolphin Entertainment Inc (NASDAQ:DLPN) As you can see on the daily chart, volume is starting to come back and with it some positive price movement. We could be looking at the beginning of the next rally. Could pop over 75c. Daily technical indicators are turning bullish. Let's see what next week brings.

( click to enlarge )

Waitr Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:WTRH) not only broke the descending channel pattern on the daily chart that has been formed since the price reached the highs of 5.85, it also managed to reach the 3.90 area yesterday. I tweeted a potential big move in this name several times on Twitter last week, especially in the last two days. Any pullback to the former level will provide a buying opportunity for WTRH investors.

( click to enlarge )

Tilray Inc (NASDAQ:TLRY) Yesterday’s stock action confirmed the strength that appeared the day before yesterday. The pullback seems over on the daily chart. Buying dip is the name of the game now. Cannabis sector is also gaining momentum again. The 7.61 level is the current resistance for TLRY. If the stock breaks above this area, a confirmed buy signal will be triggered and my target will be set around 8.60 initially. I expect TLRY to even reach higher targets. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

OLB Group Inc (NASDAQ:OLB) If we look at the daily chart of this recent IPO play we will find a beautiful shape (rounding bottom pattern), a stock that attracts you to buy it. If the breakout above 4.40 (yesterday's high) is confirmed OLB can easily reach 5.2 due to its low float, which is a 20% increase in price. Money seems to be flowing back into the MJ sector again. This company Offers Payment Processing Options for Cannabis and CBD Merchants. As I always say, follow the money and the money looks to be flowing into this small one.

( click to enlarge )

China Finance Online Co. (NASDAQ:JRJC) Looking at this daily chart, it looks like a cup-and-handle formation, which could be construed as bullish. A confirmed breakout above 10 will lead to a renewed rise as we were expecting with a target around 15. While RSI is signaling a slightly bullish status, the ADX is gaining in traction and pointing highly upwards, signaling an upward trend. After over five weeks of remaining sub $10, JRJC could be in the early stages of a big rally. At some point the trader community will catch onto this. This stock will move quickly, so keep it on your screen next week. NOTE: Yesterday another China KXIN gained more than 100%, as i always say, it's just a matter of time.

( click to enlarge )

Platinum Group Metals Limited (NYSEAMERICAN:PLG) broke out to the upside of a flag formation on heavy volume, thus confirming its trend reversal. Could be more gains ahead for stock.

( click to enlarge )

OPKO Health (NASDAQ:OPK) The call options have been very active in this name in recent days, showing a more bullish stance. The 4.05 area is the major resistance for the stock. Those who want to enter the stock are recommended to step in at the breakout on volume. Such a breakout will lead to a strong rally on shares targeting initially the 4.76 level. Long setup on watch.

Trade Ideas for next week, Trading rules and some good FREE sources of information

Dearest followers, 

We are living in difficult times, waging a war against a faceless enemy and, although far from each other, we need to be more united than ever respecting the rules of health. The situation is very serious and people need to stay at home. Remember to wash your hands several times a day a day for at least 20 seconds to stop the spread of infectious diseases and encourage others to do the same.

Over the last days, I have received many emails, from  people asking me which books or sites I would recommend to learn about trading. To be transparent and direct, i cant find any book that could help you in this environment of uncertainity. In reality, there is no such thing as a perfect trading model, simply because the market is so dynamic and unpredicatable. Thats a good one for daytraders with experience (that doesnt mean they cant lose money) but not for newbies. However, i can share with you my trading rules and some good FREE sources. 

First the charts to watch next week, then the rules and sources.

( click to enlarge )

Co-Diagnostics Inc (NASDAQ:CODX) caught my attention on Friday afternoon few minutes before the close because of the price action and volume. Plus, the daily technical set-up was so perfect that could be a great trading idea for the coming week. So, i decided to enter and tweeted my entry. Few hours later i was surprised with the price action in after-hours. The stock shot up beautifully for a quick and easy 30% gains. Congrats to those who jumped into the game. Call luck, or whatever you want, but the bottom line is that i detected significant buy interest, something that caught my attention so i decided to enter. Luck is part of the experience.

( click to enlarge )

Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. (NASDAQ:OBCI) bounced beautifully off the uptrend line on the hourly chart so I bought back my shares on Friday. The stock has been trading up in a clear bullish pattern (higher highs, and higher lows) since establishing a bottom support around $3. This company reported recently good EPS and revenue numbers. Both Records - 2019 Net Income of $3.5 Million and Net Sales of $42.3 Million. Its a Coronavirus play. They sells "Performacide" an EPA-registered disinfectant and sanitizer that is proven to kill previously known strands of human Coronavirus, and meets EPA criteria for use against the new, SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. They reported an expansion of Production Capacity for Performacide last month. Chart shows a stock under accumulation. If the stock can take out the $4.5 level, the measured move of this pattern is $6+

( click to enlarge )

Ritter Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:RTTR) is starting to turn back up and hourly indicators are giving the first bullish signs. On Friday it closed just slightly below its 50-hourly EMA, which if broken could accelerate the stock toward its June highs around the 50c area. Plus, the stock also closed abv the upper line of the descending channel. A volatility squeeze seems eminent. You want to watch the stock closely as RTTR can move quickly and you want to be ready for this move once it happens. As you know, timing is everything with these types of monster plays.

( click to enlarge )

Bio-Path Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:BPTH) has been in a nice uptrend over the past 2 weeks and volume appears to be picking up as well. For investors who are interested in this stock could watch for the breakout at $5.50 since the breach of this critical resistance is a sign of reversal from a down trend. Currently prices are supported by the rising short-term Hourly EMAs and the uptrend. The stock has plenty of room to run.

( click to enlarge )

Walmart (NYSE:WMT) broke out of a small consolidation pattern on high volume on the hourly chart and could eventually rally up to test its recent high around $126. Looking at the technical chart the near-term outlook is positive. The Relative Strength Index is moving higher, which is a sign of growing strength in the stock and MACD is also giving a positive indication. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

OPKO Health (NASDAQ:OPK) has achieved a boost during Friday’s market as traders witnessed the oversold position, driving shares up 0.87%. I would like to see a break over yesterdays high of 1.29 to indicate possible bounce is on deck. I feel that fundamentally, the stock looks attractive at least for the short term. I would like to point out that CEO is buying shares like crazy now on a daily basis. Generally when insiders buy shares, especially in large amount like we have been seen it is a sign that positive things are coming. Im long.

( click to enlarge )

Aikido Pharma Inc (NASDAQ:AIKI) is showing signs of bottoming out on the charts along with the MACD giving positive signals and CMF is showing positive buying pressure. Significant jump above 61c can take the stock northwards to 80c or even to 1 

( click to enlarge )

As I have been mentioned in a few tweets over the past couple of days, I keep holding my long position in MARK waiting for something BIG. The stock seems to be forming a bullish flag formation on the technical chart and is on the cusp of a move higher that could take it to the 60c area pretty easily.

Based on my experience over the years, here are some basic trading rules that should be taken always in consideration for trading in order to become a successful trader in the stock market. 

1 - The trend is your friend, so never go against the trend. 
2 - Keep your losses small. Golden rule: Cut losses short. Let profits run. 
3 - Use stops. The stop loss should be placed few cents below the supports and not at the same level (i dont use SLs for low float or penny stocks). 
4 - Learn the basics of fundamentals, charts and technical indicators. 
5 - The good trader is one who makes consistent gains, so don’t be a greedy trader, appreciate the small and the big gains. 
6 - Do not fear the market. Be always confident in your trade decisions. 
7 - Never buy what you do not want, because you think it is cheap. 
8 - Always be conscious that the loss may arise and you should be prepared for that to happen. Open mind. 
9 - For large positions, you must to have total control of the market never losing sight 
10 -Volume is a leading indicator, so play the breakouts using the volume as support of your decision. 
11 - Chart breaks without volume could be a trap and the probabilities of succeeding are low 
12 - Do not be hasty to buy or sell a stock, every day there are new opportunities to make money. Be patient is the key of success of any trader. 
13 - Only believe fundamentals as long as the technical signals follow. 
14 - Trading very speculative stocks is a frequent mistake. 
15 - Do not trade positions too large relative to your available capital. 
16 - Do not invest all your money in one company. Your portfolio must be diversified. 
17 - The Greed to pick tops or bottoms is a usual error. Wait for the perfect and confirmed signal. 
18 - Do not make trading decisions based on a story you saw in the morning paper. The market many times has already discounted the information. 
19 - Review your missteps to improve your skills 

With patience and discipline, you can take much more from the stock market than you ever gave. Trading stocks is not easy for beginners or professionals, it is really very hard and requires lot of attention and knowledge. If stock trading was easy, everyone would be doing it. You can be successful at the stock market, with patience, discipline and a good trade set-up. The key objective is to make money and not lose it.

Coronavirus plays and other stocks on my watchlist for the coming week

Dearest followers,  

I will start the post by suggesting everyone to be responsible and stay at home. We are living difficult times due to the COVID-19 pandemie but right now we have to rediscover the value of being together. Staying at home or social distancing is the best way to stop the virus spreading effectively.

( click to enlarge )

Inovio Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:INO) hit some scanners yesterday with some impressive volume and closed up 11.25%. Are more gains in store next week? From a technical standpoint, the stock on the hourly time frame has been consolidating above the hourly EMA200 for the next break higher. $7.85 is the recent high that needs to be broken with conviction (price/volume). After that break $11.93 will come in short order. Long setup on watch.

( click to enlarge )

SuperCom Ltd. Ordinary Shares (NASDAQ:SPCB) I purchased a large position on this small cap after the announcement of CEO that will buy up to 6M of shares and he said the current price does not reflect the value. "I believe the SPCB current stock price levels do not reflect the high intrinsic value of the company. This program provides me the ability to opportunistically acquire SuperCom shares and underscores my ongoing belief in the Company," commented Mr. Arie Trabelsi , President and CEO of SuperCom". Plus, the recent news makes me more interested: The company has won a new project with a California Central Valley county to provide employment and anger management services, valued at up to $3.8 million and they plan to leverage its proven, robust and scalable people tracking technology to aid in fighting the spread of the the coronavirus (COVID-19). Supercom is offering a new solution for quarantine and isolation monitoring to assist governments as they strive to contain and limit the reach of infectious diseases such as the coronavirus. I took advantage of the bad market on Friday to increase my position. 30m chart shows an increase in buying pressure (Accumulation).

( click to enlarge )

Myomo Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:MYO) continues to gain momentum. The stock has been on a nice uptrend recently and could be ready to breakout after decent volume in the last two trading sessions. I wouldn't be surprised to see this stock trade back to $5 or better in the short term.

( click to enlarge )

Document Security Systems, Inc. (NYSEAMERICAN:DSS) this stock deserves your attention next week. This company signed a letter of intent to acquire a coronavirus biotech last week (Impact Biomedical). Impact has a number of healthcare products in development including Equivir product which has been shown in studies to be effective as an antiviral against a broad range of viruses including in vitro efficacy against multiple strains of Influenza (H1N1, H3N2, H5N1, H7N9, Influenza B, Parainfluenza 3), Human Rhinovirus-14, Human Coronavirus-A, and Ebola. Equivir’s abilities to inhibit viruses via multiple targets have prompted further studies to test Equivir as a potential treatment of COVID-19. Looking at the hourly time frame, the stock looks right on the verge of a breakout. A decisive move above 21c has a measured move target of 26/27c initially, and any breakout should see price quickly move into the $.50s.

( click to enlarge )

OPKO Health (NASDAQ:OPK) I started buying this coronavirus play on Friday not because of the chart but due to its recent news and insider activity. At some point this stock will come on the radar of fund managers again. Might bounce here.

( click to enlarge )

Oragenics Inc (NYSEAMERICAN:OGEN) could be in the early stages of a technical breakout. The stock finally closed above the upper line of the falling wedge on the 4h chart for the first time since peak at 0.879. I will be watching very closely for news. The stock looks like it wants to run.

( click to enlarge )

T2 Biosystems Inc (NASDAQ:TTOO) The stock pulled back yesterday after a pretty significant breakout on Thursday. I like the idea of getting long here with a stop right below 32c. Company announced last week that it was awarded an Innovative Technology contract from Vizient, Inc., the largest member-driven health care performance improvement company in the country, covering its T2Dx Instrument, as well as the T2Bacteria and T2Candida Panels, that detect sepsis-causing bacterial and fungal pathogens directly from whole blood. Plus, company still tweeting that T2Bio’s Panels enable rapid ID of sepsis-causing secondary infections, providing ID in 3-5 hrs. direct from whole blood, enabling Drs. to target therapy for patients with co-infections associated with COVID-19. Still in play for me.

( click to enlarge )

China Pharma Holdings, Inc.(NYSEAMERICAN:CPHI) One of the best setups out there. I love to play falling wedge patterns. A breakout in the direction of the previous trend confirms the continuation patterns. This stock is breaking out again of a falling wedge which is generally a bullish signal. Definitely on watch next week.

Stocks to Watch for May 23, 2014

( click to enlarge )

Sky-mobi Ltd (NASDAQ:MOBI) recently broke out of a falling wedge and today closed back above its 50-day exp moving average for the first time in five weeks. The stock is now trading above all the major EMAs and the MACD indicator indicates a potential upside. The price can move up to $8.35-$8.4 in the short-term.

( click to enlarge )

National Bank of Greece (NYSE:NBG) Possible bottom play here. I went long at 3.12 with a stop loss at 2.81

( click to enlarge )

Walgreen Company (NYSE:WAG) The stock price has been trading a very tight range for a few days right up at resistance. If it clears the key resistance level at 70.69 the move may be powerful.

( click to enlarge )

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) looks like this stock has a good chance to continue higher and a buy could be made as it moves over $72.29. If this happens, SBUX is a good play.

( click to enlarge )

The area comprehended between $8.6 and $8.73 represents a heavy resistance for shares of Opko Health Inc. (NYSE:OPK). A close above this area would have positive implications and could drive the stock much higher. Keep the stock on your radar.

Few Potential setups for next week

( click to enlarge )

The short trend continues to favor Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) bears. The stock price is shown in a range and the downtrend may continue on breaking range support area. However, the daily MACD histogram has started to diverge positively. At this point, let price break the resistance line ($29) shown in the daily chart for a safe bullish trade to happen. If price break the support line ($27.1) on a close basis, then the fall might continue.

( click to enlarge )

Opko Health Inc. (NYSE:OPK) broke out from its sideways consolidation on Friday with a 5% rally and a close over resistance at $7. Keep this one on your radar over the next week.
( click to enlarge )

 3D Systems Corporation (NYSE:DDD) Broken 50-day SMA may act as resistance. For bigger correction price has to fall below the support line. Some of the short-term technicals are still bearish.
( click to enlarge )
I have Mercury Systems Inc (NASDAQ:MRCY) on my watchlist. It may be ready to break out of this flag consolidation. Bullish MACD cross on daily. Potential swing long above 7.58

( click to enlarge )

Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ:GEVO) closed the day with a "doji" candlestick reflecting clear indecision. These candlesticks usually signal a reversal in trend. Additionally, the stock continues to hold above its rising 50dma support. I think in the short term GEVO will bounce nicely off this bottom.

( click to enlarge )

InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC) continues to consolidate between the 43 and 45 price level. Breakout on either side on closing basis may give good direction. 50-day SMA continue to act as support for the stock during this consolidaiton.

During the day I tweet many times to my readers. I encourage everybody to subscribe AC Investor Blog  twitter and newsletter, so you can receive my trade ideas and stock news in real time.
