Friday in Review, 3 Fresh Ideas

Friday in Review:

We cast a fairly wide net on Friday morning in our premarket report offering up a large slate of five potential options plays for our readers to watch. It was a solid way to close things out for the week, as we saw at some measure of gains from each of those five potential targets, and in the case of our Schwab calls, a massive run of over a thousand percent!

We had the SLB Weekly $35 Calls, the MMM Weekly $162.50 Calls, the AXP Weekly $317.50 Calls, the RF Weekly $25-26 Calls, and the SCHW Weekly $95 Calls on the radar, and these were the largest intraday upswings they recorded on the session:

We had the X Weekly $8.50 Calls, the CLF Weekly $8.50-9 Calls, and the COF Weekly $78-80 Calls, and they all produced significant moves on the day. Here’s a rundown of the kinds of gains that were on the table for traders:

Spartan Energy Acquisition Corp. SPAQ

We’re just days away from SPAQ’s vote on a merger with Electric Vehicle maker, Fisker, whose new EV set for launch, ‘The Ocean’, is laying claim to the title of ‘Most Sustainable Vehicle Ever’.

It’s an interesting scenario, and with the stock at a relative low on the chart at the moment, we are going to place some longer term options on watch, with the SPAQ 12/18 $10-12.50 Calls.

TrovaGene, Inc. TROV – Review

We last mentioned TROV on December 18th, and at the time the stock was trading down to an annual low of .503. Since then, we’ve seen a slow and steady recovery, which was kicked into a higher gear yesterday following news of Trovagene and PoC Capital entering an agreement to fund the development of Onvansertib in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer.

The stock ended up hitting .73, marking a 45% rise since we mentioned it. We will want to continue monitoring TROV for further advances from this point forward.
