Huge Stock Moves & More

Rite Aid Corp. RAD – Review

We were just talking about RAD in our premarket report from last Friday, and we wanted to close out this week by bring up the very respectable run it has produced. The morning of our report, the stock saw a low of 12.11, and subsequently registered a new high yesterday at 19.22 (+59%). As of the premarket high of 22.44 established in the premarket this morning, we’ve witnessed a one-week run of 85% from Rite Aid.

We’re also going to signal a couple of different sets of options ideas to track in the RAD chain over the next week, and beyond. We’re going to radar the RAD 1/03 $21-23 Calls, as well as the RAD 04/17 $27-30 Calls.


Other Updates
 
We also wanted to highlight some mega-moves made by stocks we’ve placed on watch recently, once again proving conclusively that options aren’t our only forte.

We tagged Clearside Biomedical, Inc. CLSD in our extended watchlist on October 18th, and witnessed a low of .75 the following day. The stock has been gradually ramping its way up in the several weeks since then, continually registering new highs, of which it hit 3.95 yesterday. That’s an incredible increase of 427%
____

We put Oncolytics Biotech, Inc. ONCY on watch back on November 14th, and have watched as the stock began to edge its way up, before absolutely exploding over the last week. Our observed range on this one in just over a month has been .82-2.92, a gain of 256%
____

Many of our longer term readers will remember how significant the gains were out of OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP as we first came across it at the end of 2016 when it went on a mega run from subpenny levels to over 2.00. When it appeared in yesterday’s watchlist it was time to start paying close attention to it again. OWCP made a 94% intraday move yesterday from a low of .028 to a high of .0543. Volume has been ramping up the last few sessions and with this type of momentum, we’ll definitely continue to keep an eye on it.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas

With stocks characteristically lagging a bit as we head into the holiday break, and figuring to do so until the turn of the new year, we’re going to zero in on a couple of potential options plays.

Celgene Corp. CELG

CELG is gapping up into the $120-range this morning, and we will be interested in tracking its activity as things open up today with untraded-upon news of a significant nature. The company achieved a favorable outcome on a long-standing patent dispute which was announced yesterday post-market (View PR).

We will be looking for a possible dip-and-rip scenario, and will want to see the 50DMA of 115.03 hold as support on any pullbacks. Provided it can manage that, we will look to the CELG Weekly* $116-120 Calls for the possibility of some intraday flip opportunities.

*We must remind everyone that Weekly options contracts for this week will expire upon tomorrow’s 1PM Eastern market close.

Spirit Airlines, Inc. SAVE

SAVE is currently striking us as a potential extended-term swing-trade candidate. Despite already having experienced a sharp uptrend at the beginning of this month to rebound off of its annual lows, the stock is still trading at roughly half of its 52-week high. The possibility of a protracted recovery is very real, in our opinion.

SAVE January 15th $40 & 45 Calls are going to be the contracts that we will be placing on watch this morning, and for the next few weeks.

Additionally, as we’ve pointed out on the chart below, there is a significant gap from roughly $45-49. The filling of this gap would undoubtedly produce serious gains in the aforementioned options.


Swift Energy Co. SWYW

Speaking of large chart gaps, we’ve noticed one on SFYW, which has managed to rebound after falling off a cliff a couple of sessions back. We’ve identified the gap on the following snapshot:

We’ll go ahead and put SFYW on our radars over the next several sessions; a return to pre-gap PPS levels would spell a double-bagger from the current price.

Medbox, Inc. MDBX

MDBX is a stock that we were tracking fairly heavily over the course of the fall season, awaiting a solid bottom-bounce signal as the stock drew back steadily in PPS over a period of many weeks.

Yesterday we were sent into high alert mode with regard to MDBX, and while the observation came just a few minutes late to make it into our premarket report, it was shared in our trader’s chat promptly at the open as you can see from the following snapshot:

What ensued was an intraday run, and the strong bounce signal we were awaiting all along. From a low of .02 MDBX shot up 95% to reach an HOD of .039; that worked out to a 95% pop.

We felt it was another perfect illustration of why we encourage all of our followers to get in on our daily trader’s chats. There are often opportunities mentioned that won’t appear in our premarket reports, appearing in the chatroom throughout the course of a given day.

Once again, all one needs to do is log onto a Skype account and send a contact request to username ‘stocksumo‘, and you will be admitted into the chat!


pSivida Corp. PSDV – News Alert

We’re casting a portion of our attention this morning in the direction of PSDV. As we were examining this morning’s PR feeds, we noticed an announcement from the company referring to positive Phase-III study data and a huge concurring gap-up.

Medidur is PSDV’s treatment in development for an eye affliction known as posterior uveitis, and the results of the trials are said to be “statistically significant”. We’ll be monitoring this play as the session kicks off today in the event that the move up on the chart is significant as well.

Given that it’s traded up over 50% in today’s premarket, we may need to observe for possible dip-and-rip action in the stock.
