Winning Stock Picks 

Before we close up shop for New Year’s Day, we wanted to go over some really solid stock ideas we’ve recently mentioned, including two picks from yesterday morning’s premarket report, as well as one we brought up last week.

Sevara Inc. SVRA – This stock, which we had in yesterday’s extended watchlist, ended up as the NASDAQ’s number one gainer of the day on the basis of where it had gapped up from the previous session. It traded from a low of 3.21 up to 5.20, an intraday push of 62%
____

NIO Ltd. NIO – Also tagged in yesterday’s watchlist, we got a nice move out of NIO that registered as the #3 big board performance of the day. This one ran from a low of 2.88 and hit 4.87, marking a respectable gain of 69%
____

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP – We slated this OTC stock for observation when we returned from the Christmas break on Thursday, and in the few sessions since, we’ve seen an incredible performance. From its low of .028 on Thursday, it has reached a new high of .0699, which represents a three day swing of 150%

RAD Updates & More

Rite Aid Corp. RAD – Update.

We have been attacking the RAD options chain on a number of fronts, most recently being Friday morning, when we issued a couple of sets of ideas. Today we will focus on those expiring this Friday, which were the RAD 01/03 $21-23 Calls.

We’ll continue to monitor these plays throughout the rest of this holiday-split week, but for now, here were the ranges and total possible gains on those five sets of RAD contracts:

$21 Calls
: 2.00-4.90 (+145%)
$21.50 Calls: 1.07-2.51 (+135%)

$22.50 Calls: 1.18-2.10 (+83%)
$23 Calls: .78-2.01 (+158%)

We also signaled interest in a much longer term RAD idea on Friday morning, with the  RAD 04/17 $27-30 Calls, which we are not quite ready to report on just yet, but will continue to monitor into the New Year.

Huge Stock Moves & More

Rite Aid Corp. RAD – Review

We were just talking about RAD in our premarket report from last Friday, and we wanted to close out this week by bring up the very respectable run it has produced. The morning of our report, the stock saw a low of 12.11, and subsequently registered a new high yesterday at 19.22 (+59%). As of the premarket high of 22.44 established in the premarket this morning, we’ve witnessed a one-week run of 85% from Rite Aid.

We’re also going to signal a couple of different sets of options ideas to track in the RAD chain over the next week, and beyond. We’re going to radar the RAD 1/03 $21-23 Calls, as well as the RAD 04/17 $27-30 Calls.


Other Updates
 
We also wanted to highlight some mega-moves made by stocks we’ve placed on watch recently, once again proving conclusively that options aren’t our only forte.

We tagged Clearside Biomedical, Inc. CLSD in our extended watchlist on October 18th, and witnessed a low of .75 the following day. The stock has been gradually ramping its way up in the several weeks since then, continually registering new highs, of which it hit 3.95 yesterday. That’s an incredible increase of 427%
____

We put Oncolytics Biotech, Inc. ONCY on watch back on November 14th, and have watched as the stock began to edge its way up, before absolutely exploding over the last week. Our observed range on this one in just over a month has been .82-2.92, a gain of 256%
____

Many of our longer term readers will remember how significant the gains were out of OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP as we first came across it at the end of 2016 when it went on a mega run from subpenny levels to over 2.00. When it appeared in yesterday’s watchlist it was time to start paying close attention to it again. OWCP made a 94% intraday move yesterday from a low of .028 to a high of .0543. Volume has been ramping up the last few sessions and with this type of momentum, we’ll definitely continue to keep an eye on it.
