Tesla Motors, Inc. TSLA
It isn’t every day that we make options-trading picks, but when we do, they’re usually pretty accurate. On Wednesday, we floated the idea that the TSLA $165 and $170 Weekly Calls were looking attractive, and priming up for possible breakouts. As you can see on the following charts, that assumption proved to be a good one; both contracts would yield opportunities at multi-bag gains.
The $170 Calls were as low as .50 and hit a high of 3.85, representing a 670% move.
The $165 Calls traded from a low of 1.55 up to 7.95 on Thursday, an intraday swing of 413%
In order to squeeze added gains from these contracts, we’ll need to see TSLA stock to hold support at or above 168.80, and we’re looking for a break of resistance at 172.70. Pre-market trades are currently going off in the 171.50-range.
Advanced Cannabis Solutions, Inc. CANN
CANN has been very good to us in the short while we’ve been tracking it (1st alert, 01/08, Low of 6.31). We’ve included it in every newsletter since Tuesday, and every day it has bulled its way to new highs. Yesterday, it hit 23.35, marking a rise of 270% from our initial alert, which came just six trading sessions ago.
This has been one cannabis stock that has sustained its trend quite well, even as movement in some of the others has slowed. However, just because the feeding frenzy we witnessed in the first week of the new year has calmed down, that doesn’t mean we’ve taken our eyes off of the sector. We expect pot stocks to continue to be one of the more popular items on the speculative trader’s agenda in 2014.
Sector Side Note: Easton Pharmaceutical, Inc. EAPH – One of the other marijuana stocks we’ve followed, EAPH had consolidated off of its recent big run and yesterday began to bounce. We might see more significant gain opportunities from EAPH if it can hold support above the .008-level.
