Form-4 Alert, Fresh Options Plays

Nkarta, Inc. NKTX – Form-4 Alert

We took notice of an interesting new IPO this morning in NKTX. Typically we would be more interested in stocks with a long history of data to look at, but in this case a notable name is buying up shares. Mega-laboratory GlaxoSmithKline purchased a noteworthy $15M chunk of NKTX, and the newly issued stock has been in a freefall looking for support.

In our experience, we see a lot of IPO’s that sell off hard directly after their initial offering just like this one. It’s when they establish a firm bottom that the buying opportunity is at its greatest, so we are definitely going to want to keep a close watch over NKTX for that to occur. There may be a solid gain opportunity on the horizon here that we won’t want to miss.


Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. SPCE

We highlighted some calls in SPCE last week and met with great success, to the tune of several multi-bag gain opportunites. It has continued to run this week, and so far we’ve seen a 39% move in the stock alone from 19.07-23.53.

We are interested in selecting another range of calls to monitor with SPCE faring so well, so we’re going to place the SPCE $25.50-26.50 Calls on watch for the remainder of the week.


GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX

We tagged GOVX in our
extended watchlist on Tuesday, and this stock has made an absolutely eye-popping move.

From its low of .62 on Tuesday, GOVX hit 1.75 yesterday, marking a total two-day upswing of 182% We’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for more activity in this highly volatile play.

Big Winners, More New Ideas

iBio, Inc IBIO – Update

It was just this past Thursday morning that we were mentioning our great success in tracking IBIO to multibag gains, beginning when we first highlighted it as a potential coronavirus play on March 17th. We subsequently observed a low of .76, and as of our followup last week, it had produced an increase of over 400%

That was before yesterday, in which IBIO took the #3 top gainer spot on the NASDAQ, and broke out to yet another impressive new high of 7.43. That extends the gain we’ve seen on this play since our initial alert to a mammoth 878%  Even as other stocks representing COVID-19 vaccine candidates have been flagging of late, IBIO has continued its impressive uptrend, and we’re excited to see where it goes from here.


Microsoft Inc. MSFT

One of our options ideas from yesterday morning’s report fared quite well during the session, and based on the way things look in the premarket today, we expect to see further increases in our target contracts.

Those were the MSFT Weekly $205-210 Calls and they got off to a really good start with some solid intraday gains: 

MSFT Weekly $205-210 Calls
$205: 6.70-11.30 (+69%)
$207.50: 5.65-10.10 (+79%)
$19: 4.75-8.75 (+84%)

We also want to roll up to include the MSFT Weekly $212.50-215 Calls in our watchlist.

Rising Biosciences, Inc. RBII

Another mention from yesterday morning’s premarket report was RBII, and that too exhibited a very nice move on the day.

We have been bringing some of our focus back to OTC stocks quite a bit more in 2020, and this is another in a growing line of solid calls on that front. The stock traded from a low of .003 mand went on to hit .0068, for an intraday rip of 127%

Ideanomics, Inc. IDEX

Yesterday morning we suggested that our readers give their attention to IDEX in sessions to come, and we got some modest yet notable first day results.

The stock traded up from a low of 1.65 and hit 2.30 on the day, marking an intraday swing of 39%  It managed to maintain well over half of its advances, closing with strength at 2.09. This interests us more than enough to continue tracking its progress.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: HERO, Options Update & More

Hercules Offshore, Inc. HERO

We had HERO figured for a bottom-watch play, and began mentioning the stock a couple of weeks ago for the first time since last summer. After seeing a significant gap-down to start the week, the stock has responded by posting a couple green candles on the chart.

HERO is trending off of a multiple bottom, and is now going to be on our list as a potential momentum play. From the included chart below you can plainly see the kind of volatile swings the stock is capable of making. We’ll be on the lookout for it to first fill in that gap, followed by a breach of the 200DMA. Should that occur, we could see another series of gains resembling those from February and March.


Computer Sciences Corp. CSC – Options Update

Next we want to update our readers on an extended-term options idea we submitted last Wednesday. Despite already seeing significant intraweek moves from contracts within our highlighted range of CSC 06/17 $44-48 Calls, yesterday brought along further opportunities. The gains perhaps weren’t of the magnitude that we’re accustomed to seeing in many of our options plays, but they were solid chances for profits nonetheless:

$45 Calls – Range: 3.20-4.20 – Max Gain: 31%
$47 Calls – Range: 1.65-2.80 – Max Gain: 70%
$48 Calls – Range: 1.25-2.20 – Max Gain: 76%


CafePress, Inc. PRSS

Lastly, another quick idea to add to the mix in PRSS. Aside from the chart being technically attractive, trading near relative lows at a double-bottom, we’re also interested in PRSS for the Form-4 that was filed last week showing a major investor picking up a sizable chunk to add to his position (>>View Filing). We’re going to add this to our own working watchlist and observe it closely in sessions to come.
