Key Updates, Fresh Options Ideas

OTC Runners 

In addition to big board options plays, which have become our bread and butter over the years, we still like to follow the money and OTC stocks haven’t been this hot in ages. It takes us back to our roots, when penny plays were our primary focus. We have been tracking quite a few OTC-traded targets in recent weeks, and we’ve got some updates for our readers this morning on how OSCZ, OPTI, and ALYI have fared since we raised the alarm.

Here are the dates of our initial flags, the trading ranges we’ve observed, and the total possible gains they represent, including an incredible 31-BAGGER on OZSC in a matter of just three weeks:

Range: .007-.23
Gained: 3186%

Options Reviews, New Ideas

Vaxart Inc. VXRT – Review

VXRT was one of the first coronavirus plays we signaled interest in tracking since we tagged it on January 31st  at a low of .956. We’ve mentioned it a couple more times since then, including the end of last month and yesterday morning.

The stock has been on the rise for pretty much the entire month of April so far, and yesterday it attained yet another new high for us, registering trades for as much as 4.12. From our originally observed low, that represents a total increase of 331% in the span of what has otherwise been three difficult months!
