Novavax, Inc. NVAX – Recap

We would like to kick things off this morning by circling back around to an options idea we had submitted last week. We targeted the NVAX 05/22 $38-40 Calls which saw their lows on Thursday and ran into this week, posting some really nice moves.

We wanted to highlight those, potential gains, although it would appear the stock’s run is over, so we likely won’t be tracking these into expiration. The company announced a huge capital raise this morning which is not being looked upon favorably by the investment community.

At any rate, the ranges on our NVAX targets from last week into this week were as follows: 

NVAX 05/22 $38-40 Calls
$38: 
3.08-20.86 (+122%)
$39: 2.67-20.00 (+246%)
$40: 2.10-20.00 (+293%)

Verastem, Inc. VSTM

This biotech isn’t coronavirus related, and we have not done a whole lot of technical trading since the crisis started, but we do like where this play is on the chart at the moment.

It had come down to hold support near a previous bottom, stringing together some higher lows and higher highs this week, and we’re going to put it on our running watchlist going forward.

Options Train Keeps Rolling!

To kick the week off yesterday morning, we went with a varied selection of options ideas as usual. We found solid success with the help of a strong day for the markets, thanks to renewed optimism that a coronavirus vaccine could possibly go into production before next year.

Each one of our quick-strike ideas produced significant opportunities right off the bat, with the following intraday moves: 

ACB $13-15 Calls
$13: 
3.15-7.00 (+122%)
$14: 1.88-6.50 (+246%)
$15: 1.50-5.90 (+293%)

These were our rolled up targets after having great success with ACB $7-8 Calls last week. In that time frame, we’ve witnessed the stock itself shoot from a low of 7.80 to yesterday’s new high of 19.68, an increase of 152%

Options Review

We had offered up three fresh options trading ideas for Friday’s session, in the EXPE, CGC, and NVDA chains. Despite a relatively choppy day for the markets as a whole, we were able to see some really nice gain opportunities in each and every one.

These were weekly contracts, so they expired at the close, but we still wanted to swing back around to report all of the gains that were on the table for ourselves and our readers. The enormous potential gains were as follows: 

NVDA Weekly $285-290 Calls
$285
: 2.75-10.00 (+264%)
$287.50
: 1.48-7.59 (+413%)
$290
: .74-5.37 (+626%)

EXPE Weekly $122-124 Calls
$122
: .62-2.40 (+287%)
$123

CGC Weekly $22.50-23.50 Calls

Virgin Galactic Holdings, Inc. SPCE – Recap

We’ve also been tracking SPCE since our premarket report on the morning of January 22nd, which has made a fantastic move on the chart in terms of the stock itself. We’ve seen it run from a low of 15.61, and this morning in early trading we’re witnessing a new high of 32.98. That’s a stock-only move of 111% which is nothing to shake a stick at, and here are the big-time gains afforded by our options calls.

SPCE 02/21 $10-15 Calls
$10: 6.24-18.00 (+188%)
$11: 5.30-16.30 (+208%)
$12: 4.30-14.80 (+244%)
$13: 3.50-15.40  (+340%)
$14: 2.80-14.04 (+401%)
$15: 2.15-13.10 (+509%)


Genprex, Inc. GNPX

As we were just mentioning on Friday morning, GNPX has come a long way since we put the stock on watch on January 6th, and we also pointed out its bullish close on Thursday as reason to suspect further gains were forthcoming.

The stock posted yet another huge move on the day, and carried our observed high much higher. GNPX was the #1 gainer on the NASDAQ for the session and hit 5.75. From our observed low of .29 on the stock from early last month, it has now risen by 1883%
