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. .

Potential Swing Trades to Track into 2022

Bottom Play Options Candidates:

The winter holiday season is upon us, and it has been tough sledding over the past week with regard to the low amount of daily earnings reporters. Unfortunately, this down period is going to persist for the next month, but we will still make every effort to scout out and formulate trading ideas. We’ve gotten through other earnings dry spells before, and we’ll do it again this time as well!

Typically when there are no earnings to fuel intraday volatility that we can use to our advantage, we search for insider trading, and favorable technical setups as the next best thing. We’ve got some fresh ideas today that fall into both of those categories, with insider trades recently logged in VZIO and ETLB, and an interesting chart setup on TKR.

All three of these qualify as bottom plays that are going to be prime swing trade candidates to track into the new year:

TKR 01/21 $65-70 Calls
VZIO 01/21 $19-20 Calls
ETLB 01/21 $80-85 Calls
