Closing Out the Short Trading Week

Options Review: 

The end of holiday week one of two is upon us, and it was a pretty good one in terms of the gain opportunities we observed. We expect a subdued end to this short week, but we wanted to swing back around for a couple of longer-term calls we submitted last week in our reports for December 13th (TSM) and December 15th (TKR).

We were tracking the TSM 01/07 $122-124 Calls and the TKR 01/21 $65-70 Calls, and both sets of ideas have gained some good ground this week. Here are the overall increases we’ve witnessed in those ideas so far:

TSM 01/07 $122-124 Calls
$122:
 .98-2.45 (+150%)
$123:.70-1.68 (+140%)
$124: .70-1.68 (+140%)

TKR 01/21 $65-70 Calls
$65: 1.97-4.10 (+108%)
$67.50: .55-1.24 (+125%)
$70: .08-.25 (+212%)


Fresh Options Idea:
SPY 12/23 $467-469 Calls
CROX 01/21 $150-155 Calls


BiondVax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. BVXV:

We would like to close things out by providing a quick update on BVXV which appeared in yesterday’s extended watchlist. While it did produce a multibag run, it did have two separate moves on the day that are worth mentioning.

First it ran from 2.72-3.49 (+28%), followed by a slight pullback and a move from .2.31-3.00 (+30%) for a cumulative total of 58% on the day. .

Micron, Nike Options Recaps:

We signaled interest in just a couple of options chains yesterday, targeting Micron and Nike on the heels of their earnings reports. In particular, we were after the MU 12/23 $86-89 Calls, and the NKE 12/23 $157.50-162.50 Calls.

We hit on both ideas for the day, with all seven of the contract sets contained within those ideas producing notable intraday activity which yielded the following total possible gains:

MU 12/23 $86-89 Calls 
$86: 2.79-5.35 (+92%)
$87: 2.13-4.45 (+109%)
$88: 1.52-3.62 (+138%)
$89: 1.27-2.86 (+125%)

Recapping Runners, Fresh Ideas

VZIO Options Produce Instant Results:

Despite the fact that our three options ideas in yesterday’s premarket report were geared toward being longer-term plays to monitor over the next few weeks, in the case of VZIO, we witnessed prompt results as the daily activity provided for a very respectable intraday move for our tracked contracts.

Those were the VZIO 01/21 $19-20 Calls, which produced the following moves on our first day of observation. We will of course continue to monitor it and the other January Calls we signaled yesterday morning.

VZIO 01/21 $19-20 Calls
$19: .88-1.35 (+53%)
$20: .70-.90 (+29%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
JBL Weekly $60-65 Calls
ACN Weekly $405-415 Calls


Icoa, Inc. ICOA – Recap:

We also wanted to provide a brief update on ICOA, which is a stock that we included in our watchlist on Tuesday morning. In that two-session span, it has recorded a solid upswing, trading from a low of .0073 on Tuesday, and reaching as high as .0133 yesterday.

That works out to an overall increase of 82% and with the signs of momentum buildup in this play over the last several sessions, we’re going to want to continue to keep an eye peeled as we head into the end of the week.
