Novavax, Inc. NVAX – Recap

We would like to kick things off this morning by circling back around to an options idea we had submitted last week. We targeted the NVAX 05/22 $38-40 Calls which saw their lows on Thursday and ran into this week, posting some really nice moves.

We wanted to highlight those, potential gains, although it would appear the stock’s run is over, so we likely won’t be tracking these into expiration. The company announced a huge capital raise this morning which is not being looked upon favorably by the investment community.

At any rate, the ranges on our NVAX targets from last week into this week were as follows: 

NVAX 05/22 $38-40 Calls
$38: 3.08-20.86 (+122%)
$39: 2.67-20.00 (+246%)
$40: 2.10-20.00 (+293%)

WMT 05/29 $129-130 Calls


Verastem, Inc. VSTM

This biotech isn’t coronavirus related, and we have not done a whole lot of technical trading since the crisis started, but we do like where this play is on the chart at the moment.

It had come down to hold support near a previous bottom, stringing together some higher lows and higher highs this week, and we’re going to put it on our running watchlist going forward.

Options Train Keeps Rolling!

To kick the week off yesterday morning, we went with a varied selection of options ideas as usual. We found solid success with the help of a strong day for the markets, thanks to renewed optimism that a coronavirus vaccine could possibly go into production before next year.

Each one of our quick-strike ideas produced significant opportunities right off the bat, with the following intraday moves: 

ACB $13-15 Calls
$13: 3.15-7.00 (+122%)
$14: 1.88-6.50 (+246%)
$15: 1.50-5.90 (+293%)

These were our rolled up targets after having great success with ACB $7-8 Calls last week. In that time frame, we’ve witnessed the stock itself shoot from a low of 7.80 to yesterday’s new high of 19.68, an increase of 152%

Reviewing Friday’s Options Plays

In Friday morning’s report, we set out several last-minute options ideas, and our first order of business to kick off the fresh trading week is to highlight the performances recorded by those targets.

We had a mixture of bulls and bears on our watchlist and for most of them, we saw some pretty nice action and potential intraday gains:

DKNG Weekly $25 Calls
$280: .90-4.30 (+378%)

AMAT Weekly $54.50-53 Puts
$54.50: 1.30-2.63 (+102%)
$54: 1.05-2.50 (+138%)
$53.50: .72-2.29 (+218%)
$53: .50-1.80 (+260%)

ACB Weekly $7-8 Calls
$7: .86-3.03 (+252%)
$8: .28-3.75 (+1238%)

In the case of ACB, not only did our options targets kill, especially with that beautiful twelve-bagger, but the stock itself is on a heck of a run, seeing a low of 7.80 on Friday and reaching as high as 14.90 in early trading today. That’s a respectable move of 91% We’re also going to roll up to the ACB $13-15 Calls for this week.
