Reviewing Winning Ideas, Formulating New Ones

Johnson & Johnson JNJ

We were correct in assuming yesterday would be a good day to put some options trading ideas for Johnson & Johnson on the table. The company is now at the center of the frantic pursuit of a vaccine to eradicate the deadly COVID-19 virus. We expect we will be following its role in this endeavor to completion.

For now, while we have signaled some longer-term options as well, we’re mainly interested in the short term plays we’re tracking and the moves they began to make yesterday. We will include the modest moves made by our September calls, but would expect to have to wait for them to come into play in a more meaningful way.

Top Ships, Inc. TOPS 

Our chatroom call from Friday, which we highlighted in yesterday morning’s premarket report, tacked considerable gains onto our observed range after another huge bullish session. It saw a daily run from .36 to a new high of .62, which comes out to an intraday increase of 72%

From the low of .135 that TOPS saw on Friday morning when we offered it to our traders chat participants, yesterday’s new high mark represented a two-day upswing of 359% We’re seeing a significant pullback in the stock this morning, so this run has had it, but we’ll keep an eye skinned as it searches out a bottom, as a another swing to the upside may follow shortly thereafter.

Streaming Stocks 

More people are at home streaming content than ever before, and that is going to be true throughout the duration of the coronavirus crisis, which most experts agree will persist until a vaccine is successfully produced, sometime in 2021. Here are a couple of obvious players who stand to maintain solid business through this new dynamic, and some corresponding ideas.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Multiple Mid-Week Winners & More

Multiple Mid-Week Winners

Yesterday’s premarket report was chock-full of prime opportunities to strike it big with some fantastic intraday gains. Here they are in descending order of magnitude:

Diana Containerships, Inc. DCIX – Like DRYS, which we were tracking on such a monumental run that it got halted, DCIX is another play in the shipping sector, which has been the post-election hot ticket. After we tagged it in yesterday’s report, DCIX managed a hearty run from 8.27 to as high as 26.17, an intraday burst amounting to 216%
_____

Sino-Global Shipping America, Ltd. SINO – Tally up yet another shipper that we caught just in time to benefit from the rush on the sector. SINO was another inclusion in our Monday watchlist, and it too has produced a multi-bag surge. The stock traded in a range from 3.45 to 7.86 yesterday, allowing for up to 128% in single-session profits. From our observed low of 1.44 on Monday, it marked a three-day uptrend of 446%
_____

Bulova Technologies Group, Inc. BTGI – We also had a pair of subpenny plays put up solid numbers on the day yesterday. We tagged BTGI on Tuesday, observed a modest run on massive volume, and reiterated as much in yesterday’s report. The trend continued, as the stock ran from  .0036-.0059 (+64%) on over 5X its 30-day average volume. From our observed low of .00275 on Tuesday, it went down as an overall two-day swing of 115%
_____

SpectraScience, Inc. SCIE – Rounding out our list of nice gainers from yesterday is SCIE. The stock traded in a comparatively subdued, yet quite notable range from .0019-.003. That was good for gains of up to 58%


Added Notes:

Options Reminder – We also want to remind our readers of our successful hunch that Bank of America would be a good short yesterday. We saw modest gains in our target contracts, BAC Weekly $20.50-19.50 Puts, and will continue to track the added gains that are sure to be caused from another gap-down here in the premarket, and possible continued backslide today. We’ll provide an update on the activity and our total possible gains in tomorrow’s premarket report.

Shipping Watchlist – Granted the excellent activity in the shipping sector that we’ve been mentioning, we thought it would be a good idea to include a handful of other plays in the space to watch in addition the ones we’ve already mentioned this week: RLOG, GSL, CHNR, NMM, OSG, NAO.

StrikeForce Technologies, Inc. SFOR

Our first order of business today is to update readers on the strong recent performance of SFOR; the stock has made a really nice move from its PPS following our most recent mention on 09/27 at .0083.

Yesterday it reached .0175, marking a 111% swing in just over two weeks’ time. We’ve been tracking SFOR closely since this spring, when we observed the stock trading as low as .0006. From that price point to yesterday’s new high represents an exponential increase of over 2800%


AngioSoma, Inc. SOAN

Yesterday was SOAN’s first ever appearance in our newsletters, and for a maiden mention, it ended up doing pretty well for us, with a solid intraday push.

The stock traded in a daily range from a low of .38 up to .50; a 32% run which occurred on volume which exceeded the monthly average by more than three times. It also closed at its high of day, a bullish occurrence which qualifies the stock for continued monitoring as a potential momentum play  as we prepare to close out another trading week.


Ruby Tuesday, Inc. RT – Update

Last Friday we signaled RT for both a potential bottom play and extended-term options call, and thus far it has panned out to a great idea in both respects. We called the bottom perfectly, seeing it trade as low as 2.08 that day, and inching its way up all week. Yesterday the stock reached a new high of 2.8599, marking a 37% move up.

That push allowed our options idea, the RT 11/18 $2.50 Calls, to make a fantastic move from a low of .05 up to .30. That works out to an even 500% rip, so congratulations to anyone who caught our timely alert and used it to their great advantage!
______

Fresh Options Idea: We want to draw attention to JP Morgan on the heels of their premarket earnings beat this morning, and assign an options trading idea to correspond accordingly. We’ll focus on the JPM Weekly $68-69.50 Calls for potential daytrades, but remember, trading weekly options on a Friday is a high-risk proposition that should only ever be attempted by expert traders.

Additionally, please note that if the stock breaks the 69.50 barrier, we may need to roll up our strike price to the $70 Calls.
