DECN Recap & More

Decision Diagnostics, Corp. DECN 

We began tracking DECN just under three weeks ago, back on the morning of March 19th. The stock caught our attention after announcing that it was working on a rapid-result COVID-19 test. Subsequent to that point in time, it was trading for as little as .056/share.

Yesterday, following another tag in our extended watchlist, and as an update on the company’s coronavirus test was provided (excerpt and link below), the stock reached some very impressive new highs. It’s not the first coronavirus related play we’ve scored on, and it won’t be the last.

DECN ran 216% intraday from .125 to a new high of .395. From our initially observed low from the week before last, the stock has now exhibited an upswing of 605%

Johnson & Johnson JNJ – Recap

After seeing success with a number of different targets within the JNJ chain over the past week and change, we rolled our potential strike prices up to the JNJ Weekly $140-142 Calls yesterday morning.

Being one of the lead candidates for potentially developing an effective COVID-19 vaccine, it puts JNJ in a somewhat unique position, as experts have repeatedly stated that the world cannot begin to fully recover until a viable vaccine is being widely administered sometime next year.

Our move to the $140-142 Calls proved prudent yesterday, as early activity provided the following intraday opportunities: 

JNJ Weekly $140-142 Calls
$140: .89-2.88 (+224%)
$141: .62-2.31 (+273%)
$142: .43-1.67 (+288%)

Howard Hughes Corp. HHC – Fresh Options Idea

We want to place some options in the HHC chain on longer-term watch today after noticing some massive institutional insider buying that has come in near the stock’s recent lows, to the tune of $500M. You don’t sink those kind of funds into a stock unless you are supremely confident that its present level of support is rock solid. We are going to begin tracking the HHC 07/17 $50-60 Calls as a result.

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.

JNJ Weekly $125-130 Calls
$125: 5.15-9.81 (+90%)
$126: 4.00-9.00 (+125%)
$127: 4.00-8.00 (+100%)
$128: 2.95-7.37 (+150%)
$129: 2.86-6.65 (+133%)
$130: 2.45-5.96 (+143%)

09/18 $150-155 Calls
$150: 3.50-5.00 (+43%)
$155: 2.80-3.50 (+25%)

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.
