Biggest Options Gainers & More

Options Recaps:

We’ve gotten off to another great start with regard to options trading this week. Yesterday morning in our premarket report, we formulated a couple of ideas, in the THO and UNFI chains on the heels of those companies’ earnings reports.

Despite an extremely poor session for the markets in general yesterday, both of our our ideas, the THO 10/15 $115-120 Calls and the UNFI 10/15 $35-40 Calls, bucked the trend and exhibited multibag gains on the day for us. A strong performance all around no matter which contract set within our targeted ranges was selected.

Here are those excellent multibag intraday moves posted by our plays:

THO 10/15 $115-120 Calls
$115: 4.40-12.70 (+187%)
$120: 2.10-8.70 (+314%)
_____

UNFI 10/15 $35-40 Calls
$35: 5.00-12.32 (+146%)
$40: .1.60-7.57 (+373%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
MU Weekly $72-71 Puts
WOR 10/15 $60-65 Calls


Farmmi, Inc. FAMI 

We also would like to designate FAMI as a longer-term bottom bouncer that has the potential to become a solid recovery play.

We are going to radar FAMI for the effort the company is making to get its stock back to the dollar minimum PPS required for continued listing on the NASDAQ. A shareholder letter from the CEO this morning outlined some of the ways that’s happening, including planned acquisitions and more. (>>Read PR)

Here are the total possible profits that our readers could have snagged in a single session on the strength of our ideas, including an incredible NINE-BAGGER!

SPY Weekly $289.50-291 Calls 

$289.50 Calls – Range: 1.10-2.61 – Max Gain: 137%

Fresh Idea:
BBBY Weekly $13-12 Puts  



Ocugen Inc. OCGN 

We also want to provide a brief update on another recent call we made, with OCGN. We tagged this one for observation as a bottom-play this past Friday morning, and already we’ve seen a pretty good swing to the upside.

The stock has traded in a range from 1.22-2.04 this week, marking a respectable  move of 67%  We’ll be interested to see if it can continue to register new highs for us in coming sessions.  



Sundial Growers, Inc. SNDL

We are seeing a very intriguing potential play on cannabis grower SNDL this morning. The recently-IPO’d stock has taken a bath in the two months following its first trades, having already been embroiled in a class-action suit. Yesterday the company showed that the claims of the lawsuit are essentially baseless, and the PPS began to recover.

We’re going to keep a close eye on the activity here in the days and weeks ahead, as the technicals of the chart are screaming upside potential at the present time. Not to put the cart before the horse, but we feel that a double from current pricing would not be out of the realm of realistic possibility.

SPDRA S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Recap

Our first order of business this morning is to share the performance of the options we alerted on in Friday morning’s report. Those targets were the SPY Weekly $290-291.50 Calls, and they produced some very nice single session gain opportunities for ourselves and our readers.

We have typically been very good playing the SPY in the past, and this time was no different, The gains that were on the table were as follows:

$290 Calls – Range: .34-1.04 – Max Gain: 206%
$290.50 Calls – Range: .12-.58 – Max Gain: 383%
$291 Calls – Range: .20-.46 – Max Gain: 130%
$291.50 Calls – Range: .08-.19 – Max Gain: 138%



Francesca Holdings Corp. FRAN
& Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. FOLD

This morning we noticed that FRAN is exhibiting a number of traits that we normally keep a lookout for. The stock is coming off of a bottom with a large gap on the chart, and on Friday, the CEO filed a Form-4 for the purchase of 10,000 shares near the stock’s lows.

This is often a sign of high internal confidence in the stock’s ability to rebound, so we’re going to place FRAN on recovery watch in the days and weeks ahead.

FOLD is another play which also currently boasts a bottom setup, with a significant amount of insider buying taking place on Thursday at its lows. We’ll definitely want to keep this one on watch as well.
