DRRX Update, FDX Options

DURECT Corp. DRRX – Review

With one half session remaining before the midweek holiday hiatus, and the earnings calendar once again void of activity, we want to circle back to a recent mention of ours in DRRX. We placed the stock on our radar last month on the 12th, and in the roughly five weeks since, it had really begun to put up some solid performances.

Subsequent to its inclusion in our premarket report on 11/12, DRRX registered a low of 1.72, and yesterday the stock once again registered a new high of 3.00. That’s an overall increase of 74% The stock also closed just a few cents below its high of day, so we’ll continue to keep an eye on its activity.

FedEx Corp. FDX – Fresh Options Idea

FedEx recently reversed and bounced off of its lows, and now appears to be in position to begin filling a gap on the chart. In anticipation of this we are going to place a range of calls in the FDX chain on longer term watch.

We;re going to go out to the FDX 01/31 $157.50-160 Calls to continue to track through the holidays and into the new year.

Happy Holidays!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, ONE AND ALL!

We want to start things off this short trading week, by wishing everyone a happy holiday season, no matter how you celebrate!

This is traditionally a very low-key week for the markets, as most people are focused on enjoying their families or time off from work at this time. Especially with no major earnings reporters on the calendar, we expect a relatively subdued start to the week as well.

General Mills, Inc. GIS 

One thing we do want to do is circle back to the call we made for the GIS options chain on Wednesday, which made a pretty good move into the end of the week, and will be high on our watchlist , as further gains are very possible.

We had highlighted the GIS 01/17 $55 Calls, and they subsequently made a very impressive move from .10-.29, marking a rise of 190% We will continue to keep an eye on this play, as GIS attempts to break the double top around the $54 mark. A break of that area will send these gains soaring.

Fresh Options Ideas: 

Finally, it wouldn’t feel like the start of a fresh trading week without some fresh options speculation.

We’re going to radar the SPG 01/17 $145-150 Calls as the chart is in a prime bottom-bounce setup. We took it out to the January 17th’s to give ourselves ample time to witness what appears to be an impending rebound.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PCTL Still on Fire & More

PCT Ltd. PCTL – Update –

We have taken a slight detour from our typical options and big-board-heavy focus to look back to the OTC Markets, where we used to make the bulk of our bread and butter, many years ago.

The lower exchanges are still good for speculative short term trading if you know where to look, and PCTL, which we initially tagged for observation first thing  Monday morning, has now continued to move impressively through a second consecutive session. As we reported yesterday morning, on Monday the stock ran from .0089-.015 (+69%), but that was just the beginning.

We mentioned that crossing the barrier between subpenny and penny territory is a difficult thing for an OTC stock to do, and that it was an occurrence that warranted further attention in and of itself. We’re glad we didn’t let it slip off of our radars because PCTL added another huge performance yesterday. From a daily low of .0127 the stock shot to a new high of .0278! That represents an intraday gain of 119% and measured from our observed low on Monday, a total two-day increase of 212%

Tenet Healthcare Corp. THC – Fresh Options Idea –

We won’t ignore the options trading arena completely, with one idea in particular sticking out to us this morning. We are seeing some volatility arise as the stock is in a prime bottom-bounce position, and are going to want to track a couple of ideas through to the end of the week.

We are going to potentially target the THC Weekly $18-18.50 Calls, which will stand to perform well over the remaining three sessions of the week if it can begin to establish some momentum off of the bottom you can on the chart below.
