Fresh Earnings and Form-4 Plays

Yesterday’s Clean Sweep:

We fared quite well yesterday morning with our first options targets of the week from our premarket report. We had presented four possibilities, and ended up seeing some pretty good intraday movement from each of them. The pickings are slim with regard to earnings reporters, but we had a relatively decent selection to work with.

We ended up tracking the WBA Weekly $30-29 Puts, the SNX 07/21 $90 Puts, the KFY 07/21 $50 Puts and the AXON 07/21 $190-195 Calls. They produced the following intraday runs, and total possible gains: 

WBA Weekly $30-29 Puts

Options Reviews

We got off to a very good start yesterday morning with our fresh options ideas. We’ll circle back to the longer term ideas later, but all of our weekly contracts produced nice gains as the markets saw a a healthy bull session following a brief early morning dip.

Here are the total possible profits on the day that were afforded by our targets. In the case of CGC and TLRY, premarket conditions today lead us to believe that we will see these gains extended even further: 

CGC Weekly $16-16.50 Calls
$16: 
.25-.72 (+188%)
$16.50: .18-.55 (+205%)

Coronavirus Watchlist & More

Todos Medical, Ltd. TOMDF

The see-saw of market volatility persists with no end in sight. Traditional investing has become a fool’s errand in many, if not most, cases. The kind of opportunistic short term trading that we do is relatively intact, with the right targets and scenarios.

In this case, we caught TOMDF’s coronavirus news in the premarket yesterday, stating that the company had secured distribution agreements for testing kits in both the US and Isreal. After including it in our extended watchlist, the stock managed a very nice intraday gain. It traded up from a low of  0413, and reached a high of .08, which works out to an intraday upswing of 94%


Coronavirus Watchlist

While we do focus primarily on quick strike opportunities, it’s also worth it to mention a few plays that represent products and services that are high demand at the present time due to the fallout from COVID-19. If the report from the UK’s highly respected Imperial College is accurate, this global health crisis is only in its beginning stages, and will get much, much worse in the months ahead.

While neither these, nor any other plays are “corona-proof”, the effects may weigh less heavily on these stocks and those like them:
