Friday’s 40,000% Gainer

Incredible Options Gains

Even as markets around the globe struggle with the unprecedented effects of the novel coronavirus, chances for ridiculously large profits have been available to short-term traders. On Friday, we submitted some options ideas in our premarket report, and among them came the top gaining idea we have ever produced in our entire recorded history. All in one session.

We signaled interest in the AVGO Weekly $220-230 Calls and the ADBE Weekly $295-305 Calls, and saw some eye popping gains, including an unbelievable 40,000% runner!

Target Corp. TGT – Update 

On Thursday morning we signaled a range of extended-term TGT ideas, the TGT 04/03 $98-90 Puts. In addition to current market conditions, the stock was exhibiting a gap to the low-side, and undergoing insider sales. It has created a perfect storm for shorts, and with the way things are going, the rewards should be there for the reaping this week.

We just wanted to remind everyone to watch these plays closely in the next few sessions, as we still expect to see significant gains from these ideas.


Extended Watchlist:
AYTU, KAVL, ZAAG, MRNA, NVNT, OCUL, INO

Short-Term Traders Unphased by Virus

Novint Technologies, Inc. NVNT

As we were just mentioning yesterday morning, the OTC often becomes a haven from uncertainty on the larger exchanges. As the DOW reached terminal velocity in the largest single day loss in history, NVNT, an OTC play we’ve been tracking since nearly the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak, enjoyed another solid session of gains.

Subsequent to our initial alert on NVNT last month on the 5th, the stock was trading for as little as .017 a share, and as its newly attained high of .06 yesterday, has risen by a margin of 253%


Fresh Options Ideas

We’ve also got a couple of earnings-related options ideas, as the markets appear ready to regain some of the lost ground from yesterday’s session. Dick’s posted a solid bump of same store sales in their Q4 report, while StitchFix cut guidance on annual sales and profits. We’ll also throw in an idea for the SPY in anticipation of some measure of a rebound for stocks today.

DKS Weekly $36-38 Calls
SFIX Weekly $19-16 Puts
SPY Weekly $285-288 Calls



Extended Watchlist:
ATVI, AYTU, PBR, OVV

Market Volatility Spikes, Creating Opportunity

Inovio Pharmaceuticals INO

It appears the markets are once again getting absolutely hammered this morning, and we are back to focusing on those plays which have been enjoying success amid the coronavirus outbreak.  INO is chief among them, largely due to the fact that the company plans to begin human testing of a coronavirus vaccine starting next month.

We tagged this stock for observation back on February 27th, and it has continued to set new highs for us all along the way. From our low of 3.83 INO has now reached 16.00, which works out to total increase of 318%


SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – Recap

We also put forth some SPY Calls in Friday morning’s report, the SPY Weekly $294-295.50 Calls and those produced massive gains in a late day surge, ranging from 900-1100% The market volatility that scares most people, gives short term opportunistic traders like ourselves dollar signs in our eyes, and we’ve been coming up big throughout this very tenuous situation.  .

Weekly $294-295.50 Calls
$294:
 .46-4.70 (+921%)
$295: .30-3.70 (+1133%)
$295.50: .24-3.05 (+1171%)
