American Battery Metals Corp. ABML – Huge Gains

In our premarket report on Monday morning, we signaled interest in ABML in our extended watchlist, and during that session the stock was trading for as little as .52 a share and climbing. This morning in the premarket we’ve seen ABML printing 1.48, which marks a two-day rise of 185%

What’s even more impressive, is that we’ve actually been tracking this stock since June, when it was trading for as little as .0621. From that level, this week’s new highs represent an upswing of 2283% in less than six months!

Fresh Options Plays, Friday’s Multi-Baggers

SolarWinds Corp. SWI – Bottom Watch Play

Many SWI shareholders have been running for the hills following the company’s software being at the center of a major global hacking effort last week, and that’s precisely why we are becoming interested in the stock as a bottom-watch play.

SWI is apparently on track to report a big year-over-year earnings increase, and while the full ramifications of the company’s role in the breaches is not yet known, we want to get out ahead of the crowd and begin monitoring it for a bottom-bounce entry point nonetheless.

Not only will we track the stock, but we’re going to formulate a longer-term options idea to monitor over the next couple of months, with the SWI 02/19 $12.50-17.50 Calls.

NKLA Explodes!

Nikola Corp. NKLA – HUGE Gainer

To start off the week yesterday morning, we entered into an idea for NKLA, a stock which had been on a steady rise for about the last month. Thanks to another ripper of a day for the markets in general, NKLA gained more ground just during yesterday’s session than the entire month-long run that preceded it.

It was an absolutely massive run from 40.42-73.70. That’s an 82% intraday boom, which for a forty-dollar stock is simply incredible. The party is not over yet, either. Here in the premarket this morning, NKLA has attained another new high of 97.41, stretching our 24-hour observed gain on the stock alone, to 141%

We had also highlighted a couple of strike-points in the options chain, and the gains there were absolutely ridiculous as well, not to mention the fact that we expect them to open far higher this morning, based on the premarket activity. All around this has been one of the most exiting plays of the year so far for us.

Here are the intraday moves and total possible gains on our options targets:

NKLA Weekly $42-43 Calls
$42:
 1.79-28.65 (+1500%)
$43: 1.34-28.00 (+1990%)

JC Penney Co. JCPNQ – We had also tagged JC Penney in our extended watchlist yesterday and that stock also made a very nice move on the day. It traded in a range from .351 to .679, which represents a move of 93%
_____

iGen Networks Corp. IGEN – Additionally, we had included IGEN in our watchlist on Wednesday morning, and this subpenny OTC play has also put up quite a performance. It has run from a low of .0022, and yesterday reached .0083, which marks a total gain of 277%
