Nikola Corp. (NASDAQ:NKLA) – Recap:

We’ve got an update on NKLA, which we have been mentioning all summer, after initially tagging it on the morning of June 14th. From its low of .99, we’ve now seen this stock surge to a new high of 3.71 yesterday. That represents a steady 275% increase over roughly the last six weeks.

Tupperware Brands Corp. (NYSE:TUP) – Recap:

As we were just mentioning the other day, we have been on TUP since July 12th, after which time the stock was trading for as little as .61. Even after registering impressive the new highs that we reported this week, the stock continued to surge, printing a trade at 7.25 yesterday post-market. That works out to a total increase of 1088% in the few weeks we’ve been tailing it!

A Winning Wednesday, 5 New Ideas

Winning Wednesday:

We kept things moving along swimmingly on Wednesday with regard to the options ideas in our premarket report for the day. We put in a pretty good mix of short-term and longer-term ideas, as well as bears and bulls. Three out of our four interests produced instant results, and the fourth (IHF) we’ll put on the back burner, as we feel it will still produce the activity we’re looking for in the days and weeks ahead.

Our hot hands for the day were our other targets, which were the FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts, the WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts, and the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls. From those we got several chances for multi-bag profits on the session, and those moves were as follows:

FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts
$230: 1.91-6.29 (+229%)
$227.50: 1.17-4.25 (+263%)
$225: .63-2.56 (+306%)
_____

WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts
$60: .85-1.75 (+106%)
$55: .27-.60 (+122%)
_____

PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls
$31: .45-1.97 (+338%)
$32: .70-1.50 (+114%)
$33: .50-.75 (+50%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
DRI 07/21 $165-155 Puts

BEKE Review, 4 Fresh Options Plays

BEKE Recap:

With both of the options plays we signaled for observation yesterday morning being of the longer-term variety, we don’t have any immediate turnaround to report on those. However we do have an update on another longer-term options strike that we’ve been watching.

We highlighted the BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls a little under three weeks ago on the morning of the 23rd, and as we’ve cruised through this trading week en route to their expiration today, we’ve seen these plays make some very respectable moves, even as the landscape for options trading continues to taper as we head through another dry period for reporters.

BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 1.41-3.65 (+70%)
$17.50: .50-1.45 (+191%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/16 $387-384 Puts*
FAST 10/21 $47.50-50 Calls
NTLA Weekly $70-65 Puts*
ADBE Weekly $305-300 Puts*

*Please don’t try to trade options on their day of expiration unless you are a well-seasoned trader. Not something for you beginners to attempt just yet, but we’ll get you there! 

Nu-Med Plus Inc. NUMD – Recap:

For a more recent rehash, we just signaled NUMD as a potential OTC runner in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock responded with quite the solid session. From a daily low of .028 the stock ripped all the way up to a high of .0605, which works out to an intraday pop on the order of a very respectable 116%
