Big MRNA Moves, New Ideas & More

Drone Guarder, Inc. DRNG – Recap:

The first thing we want to do this morning as we prepare to close out another trading week, is to mention the performance in DRNG. We tagged this OTC play for the first time in yesterday morning’s premarket report. It responded immediately with a fairly large intraday run that nearly took it to Pennyland right out of the starting gate at the open.

The stock took off from a low of .0031 and surged as high as .0098, which marks intraday upswing of 216% on less volume than the previous session’s all-time record, but still well over than twice the monthly average. We’ll be interested in continuing monitor its movements with the exceptional activity that has occurred this week.


Moderna Inc. MRNA – Options Update: 

Nearly three weeks ago today, on June 21st,  we formulated a set of longer-term options ideas for MRNA, specifically targeting the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls which have been on a persistent run since then, and have turned in some truly impressive moves.

The stock itself has continued to soar, hitting new highs past the $260 mark yesterday and preparing to gap-up further this morning. Here are the total possible gains in our August calls in just one session shy of three weeks’ time:

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-67.47 (+187%)
$200: 18.00-63.20 (+251%)
$210: 13.55-54.60 (+303%)

In addition to the new highs we expect as a result of the big gap-up we’re seeing in the premarket, we’re also going to add the MRNA Weekly $265-$280 Calls to our daily watchlist as well.

Adobe Inc. ADBE – Options Recap:

Despite a major selloff for the markets along with most stocks yesterday, we did see some impressive intraday moves from our selected options targets in the Adobe chain. We highlighted the ADBE Weekly $457.50-465 Calls, and those saw some significant intraday moves from around 10:15 to 11:30AM.

In a recent consensus of more than a dozen analysts, ADBE was given a 90% Buy Rating, so we won’t rule out the possibility of seeing another significant swing, especially if this trading week pulls itself out of the mud by tomorrow. The company also raised its Full Year 2021 guidance, so it’s quite likely that we will be revisiting ADBE once again in the weeks and months ahead.

ADBE was the major point of interest for us in what was a relatively rocky session as a whole, and those ideas afforded us the following intraday gain possibilities:

ADBE Weekly $457.50-465 Calls
$457.50: 2.62-6.50 (+148%)
$460: 1.92-4.65 (+142%)
$462.50: 1.51-4.14 (+174%)
$465: 1.06-3.16 (+198%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ve also got a couple of fresh ideas based off of the earnings calendar. We’re going to look at next months calls for DRI and some weekly puts on RH.

DRI 04/16 $135-140 Calls
RH Weekly $510-502.50 Puts

DICK’S Sporting Goods, Inc. DKS – Recap

Our only options idea based off of earnings reports yesterday morning was in the DKS chain. We noted the lackluster response to the company’s Q4 beat on earnings and revs, and went to the bearish side of the fence.

Our specific targets were the DKS Weekly $71-69.50 Puts and those contracts logged considerable gains, with the exception of the $70.50’s whose intraday increase was nominal.

Here are the exact trading ranges and total possible profits on those targeted DKS options plays: 

DKS Weekly $71-69.50 Puts
$71: .90-1.60 (+78%)
$70.50: 1.05-1.25 (+19%)

$69.50: .61-1.20 (+155%)

Form-4 Alert, Fresh Options Plays

Nkarta, Inc. NKTX – Form-4 Alert

We took notice of an interesting new IPO this morning in NKTX. Typically we would be more interested in stocks with a long history of data to look at, but in this case a notable name is buying up shares. Mega-laboratory GlaxoSmithKline purchased a noteworthy $15M chunk of NKTX, and the newly issued stock has been in a freefall looking for support.

In our experience, we see a lot of IPO’s that sell off hard directly after their initial offering just like this one. It’s when they establish a firm bottom that the buying opportunity is at its greatest, so we are definitely going to want to keep a close watch over NKTX for that to occur. There may be a solid gain opportunity on the horizon here that we won’t want to miss.


Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. SPCE

We highlighted some calls in SPCE last week and met with great success, to the tune of several multi-bag gain opportunites. It has continued to run this week, and so far we’ve seen a 39% move in the stock alone from 19.07-23.53.

We are interested in selecting another range of calls to monitor with SPCE faring so well, so we’re going to place the SPCE $25.50-26.50 Calls on watch for the remainder of the week.


GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX

We tagged GOVX in our
extended watchlist on Tuesday, and this stock has made an absolutely eye-popping move.

From its low of .62 on Tuesday, GOVX hit 1.75 yesterday, marking a total two-day upswing of 182% We’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for more activity in this highly volatile play.

Options Reviews

Yesterday morning, our primary order of business was to continue our commitment to bringing our readers as many solid quick-strike options ideas as we can. Not surprisingly, we were able to see some very nice opportunities in our designated targets.

Despite a mixed bag of bears and bulls, the volatile intraday swinging action of the markets made it possible to jump on big gains for each of them. Here were our top plays for the day and the total potential gains which could have been achieved.

SPY Weekly $244-242 Puts
$244: 1.30-2.89 (+122%)
$243: 1.08-2.49 (+131%)
$242.50: 1.04-2.37 (+128%)
$242: .97-2.19 (+126%)

KMX Weekly $50-55 Calls

 .50-3.90 (+680%)

Howard Hughes Corp. HHC – Fresh Options Idea

We want to place some options in the HHC chain on longer-term watch today after noticing some massive institutional insider buying that has come in near the stock’s recent lows, to the tune of $500M. You don’t sink those kind of funds into a stock unless you are supremely confident that its present level of support is rock solid. We are going to begin tracking the HHC 07/17 $50-60 Calls as a result.
