Excellent Options Plays & More

Moderna Inc. MRNA – Update: 

On Monday morning, we began tracking some August calls in the MRNA chain, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. In yesterday’s report, we updated readers on the modest moves they made, and also issued an added idea in the MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls, just to make things even more interesting.

Both sets of ideas have flourished as MRNA has posted two excellent daily performances in a row, rising from around $200 to more than $220. That has facilitated some highly respectable moves in every last one of our designated targets.

Here are the two-day ranges on the August calls and the intraday run recorded by the weeklies yesterday:

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-36.05 (+53%)
$200: 18.00-33.47 (+86%)
$210: 13.55-27.50 (+103%)

MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls.

$212.50: 4.32-11.00 (+155%)

SPY Calls Run as Markets Reach New Highs

Solid SPY Returns:

Our fresh quick strike options play to start off the week targeted SPY Weekly $401-403 Calls, in yesterday morning’s report. For newer readers who may not yet be aware, we often use the SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF) as a market analog for intraday swing trades. Yesterday, the markets got off to a hot start and didn’t let up much throughout the course of the day, with the NASDAQ and the S&P hitting new record highs. .

The bullish session provided our SPY targets with the impetus to record the following intraday moves and total potential gains:  

SPY Weekly $401-403 Calls
$401: 2.12-5.93 (+180%)
$402: 1.59-4.95 (+211%)
$403: .92-3.98 (+333%)

Tons of Options Plays

BioNTech (SE) BNTX – Options Recap:

Yesterday morning, our premarket report featured a couple of options ideas, one of which was in BNTX. This came right on the heels of the company’s revelation that its COVID-19 vaccine developed in partnership with Pfizer has demonstrated a 100% efficacy rate in adolescent recipients.

That news provided at least some of the impetus for for our targets, the BNTX Weekly $99-101 Calls, to produce the following multibag intraday gain opportunities for anyone who caught our alert: 

BNTX Weekly $99-101 Calls
$99:  2.90-7.00 (+141%)
$100: 2.15-6.80 (+216%)
$101: 2.30-5.30 (+130%)

We’ll be looking to extend these gains once again today, and will roll up to include the BNTX Weekly $105-107 Calls in our watchlist for the remainder of this short week.
