Friday’s Big Movers, Fresh Options Targets

WINNING OPTIONS REVIEW

Aphria, Inc. APHA  – We finished out the week on Friday tracking some cannabis related stocks, and the associated options targets we formulated for them. Both our existing and our fresh ideas in the APHA and TLRY chains put up strong numbers. We had already tracked the APHA Weekly $10-11 Calls to multibag gains, and those put up impressive new highs which extended our observed gains on them considerably.

Meanwhile, the additions we made to our watchlist with the APHA Weekly $13-14 Calls and the APHA 01/22 $15 Calls also posted big time intraday moves. The ranges and maximum profits on those were as follows:

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.

More Major Options Gainers

More New Highs Options 

When we updated readers on our bitcoin related options plays yesterday morning, we had already witnessed gains in the neighborhood of 200%  We made sure to caution our readers that we expected to see further gains in all targets based on the surging price of bitcoin, which has now surpassed $38K/BTC.

Our expectations were met to the letter, as the following new highs were tacked on. Here are the total possible gains that were on the table following our signaling of these targets:

RIOT Weekly $17-19 Calls 
$17: .65-2.75 (+323%)
$18: .52-2.96 (+469%)
$19: .35-2.20 (+529%)
______

MARA 01/15 $11-12 Calls
$11: 1.32-6.69 (+407%)
$12: 1.06-5.81 (+448%)
______

MARA 01/15 $13-15 Calls
$13
: .80-5.00 (+525%)
$14: .62-4.27 (+589%)
$15: .50-3.65 (+630%)

Once again today, we feel as if more new highs are on the way for these contract sets, but we also want to stay at the money with our potential strikes, so we are going to add the MARA 01/15 $20 Calls and the RIOT Weekly $20-21 Calls.


Cannabis Plays Coming Back 

With the democrats winning control of the US senate in the GA runoffs, the odds of finally seeing marijuana reclassified at the federal level sooner rather than later, have now gone up considerably. Thus we would like to signal a couple of ideas related to the cannabis space, and will likely be more focused on related stock and options ideas going forward.

CGC Weekly $31-31.50 Calls
TLRY Weekly $11.50-12 Calls 


More Fresh Options Ideas

STZ Weekly $225-230 Calls
BBBY Weekly $20-19 Puts
WBA Weekly $43.50-44 Calls
