Kicking Off the First of Two Short Trading Weeks

Dave & Busters Entertainment, Inc. PLAY – Options Review:

We just had a single solitary options idea that we formulated for Friday morning’s premarket report, in the Dave & Busters chain, the PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls. We’ve got an update on this morning to start off this short week, which we expect to be rather laid back, if prior years are any indicator.

There weren’t any other interesting earnings reporters going out on the day, but we managed to eke out some decent gains. We’re going without earnings once again today, but we’ve got some increased activity in the OTC as you’ll read about below.

PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls
$35: 1.03-1.85 (+80%)
$36: .72-1.27 (+76%)
$37: .60-.81 (+35%)


More OTC Recaps:

We tend to lean more heavily on the OTC toward the end of the year, when penny stocks typically heat up compared to the larger markets. Not many large companies are reporting earnings at the moment, and OTC tax loss selling can hammer a lot of these stocks down. That, in turn, causes a wave of opportunistic traders like ourselves to swoop in and accumulate cheap shares. The net result is a heightened landscape of possibility for many over the counter stocks.

Below, we’ve got a group of OTC plays we’ve been tracking in recent reports that posted some new highs on an otherwise mundane Friday. We last alerted STRY and BIEI on the 20th, and GTII just a couple of days later. Here were the updated figures on the total ranges and possible gain opportunities as we closed out the trading week:

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 20th
Range: .0165-.0335 (+103%)
_____

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI

Potential Swing Trades to Track into 2022

Bottom Play Options Candidates:

The winter holiday season is upon us, and it has been tough sledding over the past week with regard to the low amount of daily earnings reporters. Unfortunately, this down period is going to persist for the next month, but we will still make every effort to scout out and formulate trading ideas. We’ve gotten through other earnings dry spells before, and we’ll do it again this time as well!

Typically when there are no earnings to fuel intraday volatility that we can use to our advantage, we search for insider trading, and favorable technical setups as the next best thing. We’ve got some fresh ideas today that fall into both of those categories, with insider trades recently logged in VZIO and ETLB, and an interesting chart setup on TKR.

All three of these qualify as bottom plays that are going to be prime swing trade candidates to track into the new year:

TKR 01/21 $65-70 Calls
VZIO 01/21 $19-20 Calls
ETLB 01/21 $80-85 Calls
