Winning Stock Picks 

Before we close up shop for New Year’s Day, we wanted to go over some really solid stock ideas we’ve recently mentioned, including two picks from yesterday morning’s premarket report, as well as one we brought up last week.

Sevara Inc. SVRA – This stock, which we had in yesterday’s extended watchlist, ended up as the NASDAQ’s number one gainer of the day on the basis of where it had gapped up from the previous session. It traded from a low of 3.21 up to 5.20, an intraday push of 62%
____

NIO Ltd. NIO – Also tagged in yesterday’s watchlist, we got a nice move out of NIO that registered as the #3 big board performance of the day. This one ran from a low of 2.88 and hit 4.87, marking a respectable gain of 69%
____

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP – We slated this OTC stock for observation when we returned from the Christmas break on Thursday, and in the few sessions since, we’ve seen an incredible performance. From its low of .028 on Thursday, it has reached a new high of .0699, which represents a three day swing of 150%

Solid Stock and Options Calls

Myovant Sciences Ltd. MYOV

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we included MYOV in our Extended Watchlist for the day. It was a stroke of perfect timing, as it would end up the day’s top traded play on the NASDAQ.

The stock had been trading in a lackluster fashion for an extended time period, but the company’s revelation of completed prostate cancer treatment trials and plans to submit to the FDA, helped generate some really nice activity in the stock that is spilling over into the premarket today.

We’ve seen two distinct swings thus far, with MYOV first running from 12.64-17.16 (+36%) yesterday, before pulling back to 10.37. In the premarket this morning it has surged back to 15.31, a 48% upswing. We’ll be eager to continue tracking this interesting activity.



Kohls Corp. KSS

We also had a range of bearish options ideas in the Kohl’s chain in yesterday morning’s newsletters, and thanks to a poor showing on earnings, we saw deep decline in KSS stock despite the fact that we are headed into the thick of retail season.

Our ideas were the Kohls Corp. KSS Weekly $53.50-51 Puts, which put forth the following gain opportunities on the day:

$53 Calls – Range: 3.07-5.92 – Max Gain: 93%
$52.50 Calls – Range: 2.80-5.30 – Max Gain: 89%
$52 Calls – Range: 2.64-5.00  – Max Gain: 89%
$51.50 Calls – Range: 2.10-4.30 – Max Gain: 105%
$51 Calls – Range: 1.80-4.00  – Max Gain: 122%
