KLAC Review, Fresh Options Plays

KLA Corp. KLAC – Recap: 

We signaled a range a options plays for Friday’s session in our premarket report, and while they all saw positive moves, KLAC was the clear standout, which sustained its gains over a much longer period.

We were tracking the KLAC Weekly $330-340 Calls and following the company’s earnings beat, the stock was propelled from a low of 335.56-348.16 on the day, and that facilitated some elite single-session gain opportunities for us and our readers. This comes just weeks after it was reported that hedge fund interest in the company was on the rise.

Here were the big time daily moves posted by our designated targets in the KLAC options chain on Friday:

BLDV Run, Options & More

Blue Diamond Ventures, Inc  BLDV – Recap: 

We have been tagging BLDV in our premarket watchlists frequently since January 19th, and would like to go over the solid performance put forth by the stock over that two week time frame.

On the morning of our initial alert, the stock was trading as low as .0018. After stair-stepping its way up, yesterday the stock reached a new high of .0127, which represents an excellent overall increase of 605%  Even if our readers had only noticed the tag in yesterday morning’s premarket report, they had a chance to grab the stock for as little as .0059 before it rushed to that new high. That would have been good for intraday gains up to 115%


Options Update:

As is typical, we included some new ideas for options to track in yesterday morning’s premarket report, namely the BABA Weekly $255 Calls and the ON Weekly $34.50-35 Calls.

In both cases, we observed appreciable moves and intraday gain opportunities for our readers, which could certainly tack on more gains before Friday. Here are the daily figures on those targets so far:

BABA Weekly $255 Calls 
$320: 7.75-13.46 (+74%)
_____

ON Weekly $34.50-35 Calls 
$322.50: 1.87-2.70 (+44%)
$325: 1.50-2.30 (+53%)

Green Energy Stocks, Form-4’s, Fresh Options Ideas

Alternative Energy Focus:

At the end of last week, we indicated that we had an interesting alternative energy play to look at this morning. Instead of one, we went ahead and unearthed a trio of companies in the space. In addition to the US rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, it would seem likely that further measures toward curtailing pollution are definitely on the horizon, out of necessity.

We expect to be focusing more and more on “green” plays as time goes on, and society is forced into finding more sustainable and renewable ways to serve its high energy demand. From waste-to-energy, to solar, and everything in between, these are the types of ideas that will endure long after the last drop of fossil fuel has been burned. Today, we’ve selected a variety of different alternative energy stocks trading at very different price points on the OTC Market to spotlight.

Renewable Energy & Power, Inc. RBNW
Last Traded: .0007

Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. ASTI
:Last Traded: .0177

Clean Energy Technologies, Inc. CETY 
Last Traded: .093

We expect to continue building a watchlist of interesting clean and renewable energy companies going forward, as the need for them grows in an increasingly energy hungry world.


Athira Pharma, Inc. ATHA 

We also caught ATHA this morning as a stock with a solid setup on the chart, along with some recent insider buying near its current bottom. Just a month a ago the stock was trading close to $35, and has recently been showing signs of a bottom bounce down here in the $21-22 area.

In addition to a topside gap on the chart, ATHA is currently seeing its MACD converging for a bullish cross, so we’re definitely going to put this one on watch.
