Petroleo Brasiliero SA (Petrobras) PBR – Options
We first brought PBR to our watchlist on March 21st, a few days after the stock had hit its all-time lows (03/17 @ 10.20). We recognized the recovery off of that bottom as a prime opportunity to take advantage of the options chain.
We’re extremely pleased at the subsequent performance that PBR has registered. Since our initial alerts, we’ve seen a steady rebound from PBR culminating in today’s high of 13.95 (+37% from our observed low).
It has allowed us to see substantial gains, as the May $12 Calls that have held our interest from the very start have come from a low of .31, to today’s high of 1.90. That’s an impressive move of 513% in the span of just seven sessions.
The June $14 Calls that we added to our radar on Monday have gone up from .41 to .71, representing a 73% increase.
Intraday opportunities today included a nice move from the $13 Weekly Calls trading in a range from .31 to .92. If the stock can breach $14, we may want to go with the $14 Weeklies for further flip opportunities heading into Friday.
