Closing Out Another Great Trading Year, HAPPY 2023!

Today, we close the books on what has been another fantastic year of stock and options trading. 2022 came with its ups and downs, but we weathered all the storms and had plenty of days in the sun! The good far outweighed the bad, and we’re looking forward to more excitement in 2023! HERE’S WISHING A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOURS!


Cal-Maine Foods Inc. – Options Review: 

This morning we’re very happy to submit our last 2022 entry with a bang, by relaying the excellent performance we got out of our single options idea in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We went bearish on CALM, and were instantly rewarded as the stock fell off of a cliff, despite a hot day for the markets as a whole.

Our targets of interest were the CALM 01/20 $60-57.50 Puts, and the multibag intraday profit chances they yielded were exceptional. Here are the intraday ranges and total possible gains they managed for us:

CALM 01/20 $60-57.50 Puts 

$60: 1.85-7.30 (+295%)
$57.50: 1.25-5.30 (+324%)

Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. KALA – Recap:

We had just updated readers yesterday morning on KALA, which we included in Wednesday morning’s extended watchlist. The stock was surging in the premarket, and between the time of our alert at 9AM and the open, KALA hit an amazing new high of 45.70. From the 6.00 low we observed on Wednesday, that worked out to an overnight swing of 662%

Options, NASDAQ Reviews & Fresh Idea

HEICO Corporation HEI – Options Update:

This week has lived up to the stereotype of a typical holiday trading week between Christmas and the New Year. No one is reporting earnings, not much has been going on, and the opportunities have been much fewer and further between. Today we do have an update on a set of options contracts that we alerted on Tuesday of last week.

We signaled interest in the HEI 01/20 $150 Calls, and they have made a modest but respectable move for us over that time span.

HEI 01/20 $150 Calls
$150:
 3.70-7.50 (+103%)

CALM 01/20 $60-57.50 Puts


Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. KALA – Recap:

We had placed KALA on watch via yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. Our EW’s often consist of a mix of big board and OTC stocks. In this case, KALA trades on the upper exchange, and yet still managed to explode off of our list with a single-session multibag run yesterday. The stock ran from a low of 6.00 yesterday and has now touched 19.73 in premarket trading today, marking a total rise of 229%

Potential Bottom-Play, Options Recaps

Options Reviews: 

Our primary order of business this morning is rather typical, but we never get bored tracking winning options plays. We’ve got updates of new highs on some ideas that we were tracking in BBIO, as well as the daily figures from the fresh plays we offered up in yesterday morning’s premarket report.

We initially slated the BBIO 02/18 $12.50-15 Calls in Tuesday morning’s report , while, with yesterday’s new targets we were on the bearish side of the fence with the CALM 01/21 $37.50-35 Puts and the FCEL Weekly $5.50-5.00 Puts. Here are the total gains made by all of those plays so far:

BBIO 02/18 $12.50-15 Calls 
$12.50: 1.85-3.65 (+97%)
$15: 1.50-2.60 (+73%)
_____

CALM 01/21 $37.50-35 Puts
$37.50: 
.80-1.68 (+110%)
$35: .20-.50 (+150%)
_____

FCEL Weekly $5.50-5.00 Puts
$5.50: .35-.71 (+101%)
$5.00: .10-.29 (+190%)


Edgewise Therapeutics, Inc. EWTX – Bottom-Watch Play:

We’re also looking at EWTX for a possible bottom-bounce play in the days and weeks ahead. The stock recently got crushed down near its annual lows, and we’re going to be looking for it to hold support at $14.

We’ve drawn up a little annotated chart snapshot so you can see what we find attractive about this potential play.

Johnson & Johnson JNJ

Emerging as the potential leader in terms of being first to a workable coronavirus vaccine, JNJ says they may be able to produce a working one by early 2021, several months prior to most previous estimates. The company has also committed to providing one billion of them to the US Dept. of Health & Human Services.

We will likely be following this story for quite some time, so we’re going to signal both a short and longer-range set of options ideas here, with the JNJ Weekly $125-130 Calls & 09/18 $150-155 Calls.
