NWBO Update, Options Plays

Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. NWBO

Today we wanted to swing back and recap the performance of NWBO, which we’ve been tracking for the last couple of sessions via our extended watchlists in our reports from Wednesday and yesterday.

This momentum play has made some moderate gains over the course of those two trading days, moving up from a low of .405 on Wednesday to a high of .6711 yesterday. That works out to a respectable rise of 66% which has come on greatly increased volume. We’ll want to keep this one on our radar going forward to monitor for continued advances.

Options Review:

Our first targets of the week in Monday morning’s premarket report were AAPL and TSLA, as both stocks underwent a forward split of their share structures, lowering their PPS values and getting a lot of fresh buyers coming into the mix.

We positioned ourselves accordingly with ideas for each chain, with the TSLA Weekly $447-455 Calls and the AAPL Weekly $125-127.50 Calls, and activity provided by the stock over these first two sessions of the week has provided us with the following gain opportunities:

TSLA Weekly $447-455 Calls 
$447: 18.00-60.63 (+237%)
$450: 16.80-57.95 (+245%)
$455: 15.00-53.63 (+258%)
_____

AAPL Weekly $125-127.50 Calls
$125: 5.05-10.75 (+113%)
$126.25: 4.00-9.80 (+145%)
$127.50: 3.87-8.75 (+126%)

We’ expect to see these AAPL figures increase today, and we’re going to stick with the Apple chain this morning and roll our targeted strike area up to include the AAPL $136.25-137.50 Calls.
