Friday’s Runners, Fresh Slate of Targets

Top-Flight Friday Finish:  

Last week was a short trading week that did not exhibit the sleepy characteristics that holiday weeks can sometimes display. We were on point with our options trading ideas all week long, and we capped off that excellent run in Friday morning’s report with four ideas that all made some really good intraday swings. Our biggest goal has always been identifying what we feel are some of the best possible targets on any given day, and as any of our regular readers can attest, we’ve become VERY good at what we do.

Friday’s interests were the DOCU Weekly $52-54 Calls, the RH Weekly $347.50-340 Puts, the SMAR 09/15 $40-45 Calls, and the SWBI 09/15 $10-12.50 Calls, and here are the nice moves they recorded on the session:

Thursday’s Big Runners:

We kept things moving yesterday with regard to our never-ending daily quest for hot options trades. Our premarket report contained five sets of ideas based off of a big day for earnings, and of those, four returned some very nice chances for intraday profit. We’ve got some nice names on the board today, so we feel confident that we can carry this success into the weekend.

SMPL Update, Form-4 Alert


The Simply Good Foods Co. SMPL – 
Options Review 
.
On Thursday morning, SMPL was among the fresh options trading targets that we had mentioned in our premarket report.  We were looking specifically at the SMPL 08/21 $20-22.50 Calls.

Despite it being one of our relatively rare longer-term swing-trade ideas, with tons of time remaining until expiration, we did see some early gains right off the bat from those plays as the week drew to a close.

08/21 $20-22.50 Calls
$20: 1.50-2.20 (+47%)
$22.50: .70-1.30 (+86%)

We’ll certainly continue to have these targets on watch in the weeks and months ahead, it was good to see some instantaneous opportunity arise.

Fresh Ideas: 
SPY Weekly $284-286 Calls 


AxoGen Inc. AXGN – Form-4 Alert

We would also like to make mention of AXGN this morning. which we caught sight of during a routine Form-4 scan. We’ve got the CEO picking up shares and adding to his already considerable position just as the stock was preparing to register new annual lows.

We generally like to put stocks in this situation on watch, and will be anxiously awaiting the company’s quarterly results due in roughly two weeks.

COVID Test FDA Green-Lit to Begin Shipments

Nova Bay Pharmceuticals, Inc. NBY

We are going to want to keep an eye out for NBY this week. The stock saw a surge last week, and is scheduled to report earnings on Thursday. The company recently launched a line of anti-microbial disinfecting wipes for the face and eyes. This has a unique synergy with the current health crisis, as one of the piomary ways to help slow the spread of COVID-19 is to limit the germ exchange which takes place when touching your face, and then touching objects around you.

It seems evident that consideration for how a stock related to the sweeping pandemic which experts warn could persist for as much as 18 months, is going to have to be built into virtually every idea we look at for our reports for the foreseeable future.


Aytu BioScience, Inc. AYTU

We’ve been tracking AYTU for a couple of weeks now, beginning with our report from the morning of the 10th. We want to rehash our interest in this coronavirus related play as the company announces the official FDA distribution green light for its rapid point-of-care diagnostic test.

We already witnessed a huge run by AYTU since we’ve been covering it, which was later mitigated  by a large public offering. However, we want to continue to stay hot on its trail in the wake of this morning’s news, which we’ll share below. The company expects the first shipment of 100,000 tests to be distributed presently, which is especially significant, considering that exceeds the total number of Amicans who have been tested so far, as the US lags behind almost every major country in that regard.

Aytu BioScience, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYTU), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs announced today that it has received confirmation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the company may begin distribution of its Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-2019”) IgG/IgM Rapid Test throughout the United States. The COVID-19 IgG/IgM Rapid Test is intended for professional use and delivers results between 2 and 10 minutes at the point-of-care. (>>Read Full PR)


Target Corp. TGT

We also want to quickly update readers on a longer-term options options idea we recently submitted, the TGT 04/03 $98-90 Puts. It’s a wide range of contracts and toward the end of last week, the first of those began being pushed into the money as TGT fell.

The total ranges are as follows on the $98 and $97 Puts, and we are going to want to continue to monitor the entire range between now and next Friday, because this idea may just be getting warmed up. 

$98:
 2.51-5.79 (+131%)
$97:
3.50-5.59 (+60%)
