Cannabis Stock Explosion in Progress

Aphria, Inc. APHA – Options Recap

Our sole point of focus in terms of fresh options plays in yesterday morning’s premarket report, was a tight range of calls in the APHA chain on the heels of the company’s earning report- the APHA Weekly $10-11 Calls to be exact. Despite a down day for the markets at large, we saw this cannabis stock buck the trend on the strength of increased price targets relating to the company’s impending merger with Tilray, Inc. TLRY, another pot stock with which we’ve had some experience in the past.

The gains on our target contracts for the day yesterday were quite impressive as you’ll see below, but based on the premarket activity we’re observing this morning, we expect the following ranges and total possible gains to explode at the open today.  Read on to find the expanded set of targets that we’re going to formulate for APHA for today and into next week.

APHA Weekly $10-11 Calls
$10:
 .70-2.25 (+221%)
$10.50: .40-1.70 (+325%)
$11: .28-1.20 (+329%)

As we said above, we expect those figures to increase today, and going forward we’re going to add the APHA Weekly $13-14 Calls, and the APHA 01/22 $15 Calls into our pool of tracked contracts. We’ll also include the TLRY Weekly $21-22 Calls just for good measure.

We’re also going to include a wide range of OTC-traded cannabis penny stocks to track below, as the legislative environment is about to shift dramatically toward favorable conditions for federal reclassification, and the business opportunities it will provide should be like nothing we’ve seen to date.

ZVTK Recap, Options Reviews

Zevotek, Inc. ZVTK – Recap

We were just commenting on a hot OTC play we made on another stock yesterday morning, as we included ZVTK in our watchlist. This is a stock that set off an unusual volume alert in the previous session, and it was a sign of things to come.

On big volume, ZVTK ran from a low of .0152 to a high of .0448, which works out to a huge intraday run of 195% This is two consecutive reports in which we’ve illustrated why it’s important to scan through our daily extended watchlists, as we often uncover such hidden gems.

Fifteen-Bagger on the Books!

Ethema Health Corp. GRST

It was just yesterday morning that we updated readers on the incredible performance of GRST, a subpenny stock we first alerted on June 5th. From our observed low of .0002 on the play, it had banked a twelve-bagger for us!

Even as the larger markets backslid, GRST continued its major move yesterday, tacking on yet another impressive new high and extended our witnessed gains by a considerable margin. This OTC stock hit .0032 during the session, which represents a total increase for us amounting to 1500% in the space of just nine trading days!

Cheers to anyone who has been able to pocket some profits off of this big-time mover!

It turned out to be OWCP that put up the most notable performance off of our extended watchlist yesterday. We saw the stock do big things last year, but were mentioning it for only the second time in 2020.

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.

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.
