Thursday’s Movers, Friday’s Targets

Options Recap:

As we head into the end of what has been a very productive week, we’re going to take a minute to reflect on the excellent job we’ve done weathering the earnings drought which is set to end on Monday day morning. We’re sure to have plenty of ideas to come from that, but in the meantime, we’ve held our own with our daily options ideas.

Yesterday we put forth four possibilities, and three of them recorded significant positive movement on the day. Our winning targets of interest were the SPY 07/15 $378-375 Puts, the TSM Weekly $81-83 Calls, and the JPM Weekly $109-107 Puts, which posted the following trading ranges and total profit possibilities:

DLOC Recap, Options & More

Digital Locations Inc. DLOC

We tagged DLOC in yesterday morning’s report just in the nick of time to catch one of the top sessions in the stock’s history. On all time high daily volume, the stock cruised from a low of .07 all the way up to .35, marking a fantastic 400% ripper on the day.

We have been supplementing our options plays with some select OTC picks as well, and this is a fine example of why. The opportunities have been there for anyone with the wherewithal to look (or read our daily reports).

Options Review

We also highlighted some options ideas that we thought might work out for yesterday’s session in AAPL and ADBE, as well as some SPY calls, and we were met with considerable success. All six of the designated sets in our target ranges produced double-bag gains or better.

AAPL Weekly $360-365 Calls
$360: 5.85-13.57 (+132%)
$362.50: 3.45-11.55 (+235%)

Options Updates, Fresh Ideas

Options Updates
.
Johnson & Johnson JNJ – We initially made the longer-term call on the JNJ 09/18 $150-155 Calls at the beginning of last week, and yesterday morning as part of an update on those targets we also gave a more immediate idea with the JNJ Weekly $134-137 Calls. The markets absolutely ripped yesterday, and that catapulted both sets of ideas to new heights.

Here are the updated highs on last Monday’s September calls, as well as the single-session ranges on the weeklies:

09/18 $150-155 Calls
$150: 2.90-5.80 (+100%)
$155: 2.27-4.00 (+76%)

JNJ Weekly $134-137 Calls.
$134: 3.19-7.20 (+126%)
$135: 2.54-6.00 (+136%)
$136: 2.09-3.95 (+89%)

We would also like to roll up to include the Weekly $140-142 Calls on our watchlist.

______

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – We also signaled interest in a range of SPY calls in yesterday morning’s ;premarket report, highlighting the Weekly $258-260 Calls.

The bullish day for stocks across the board facilitated some very good moves in those three contract sets on the session. We expect these gains to be extended at the open, as the markets are gapping up once again this morning in early trading.

Weekly $258-260 Calls
$258: 4.07-10.66 (+162%)
$259: 3.61-9.98 (+176%)
$260: 3.11-9.25 (+197%)

Reviewing Winning Ideas, Formulating New Ones

Johnson & Johnson JNJ

We were correct in assuming yesterday would be a good day to put some options trading ideas for Johnson & Johnson on the table. The company is now at the center of the frantic pursuit of a vaccine to eradicate the deadly COVID-19 virus. We expect we will be following its role in this endeavor to completion.

For now, while we have signaled some longer-term options as well, we’re mainly interested in the short term plays we’re tracking and the moves they began to make yesterday. We will include the modest moves made by our September calls, but would expect to have to wait for them to come into play in a more meaningful way.

JNJ Weekly $125-130 Calls
$125: 5.15-9.81 (+90%)
$126: 4.00-9.00 (+125%)
$127: 4.00-8.00 (+100%)
$128: 2.95-7.37 (+150%)
$129: 2.86-6.65 (+133%)
$130: 2.45-5.96 (+143%)

09/18 $150-155 Calls
$150: 3.50-5.00 (+43%)
$155: 2.80-3.50 (+25%)

Top Ships, Inc. TOPS

Our chatroom call from Friday, which we highlighted in yesterday morning’s premarket report, tacked considerable gains onto our observed range after another huge bullish session. It saw a daily run from .36 to a new high of .62, which comes out to an intraday increase of 72%

From the low of .135 that TOPS saw on Friday morning when we offered it to our traders chat participants, yesterday’s new high mark represented a two-day upswing of 359% We’re seeing a significant pullback in the stock this morning, so this run has had it, but we’ll keep an eye skinned as it searches out a bottom, as a another swing to the upside may follow shortly thereafter.

Streaming Stocks

More people are at home streaming content than ever before, and that is going to be true throughout the duration of the coronavirus crisis, which most experts agree will persist until a vaccine is successfully produced, sometime in 2021. Here are a couple of obvious players who stand to maintain solid business through this new dynamic, and some corresponding ideas.

ROKU Weekly $87.50-89 Calls
NFLX $365-372.50 Calls

TCPS, FNMA, FMCC & Extended Watchlists

TechnoConcepts, Inc. TCPS

We called for caution on TCPS in yesterday’s report, indicating our belief that a pullback was likely to soon be upon us. Fridays are often profit-taking days, and after six straight sessions of gains (420% in total at yesterday’s high, from original alert at .0025) it’s difficult for us not to chalk this up as a win and take our hefty profits.

While there is a chance the momentum could carry over to next week, at the very least, we’ll be looking to sell half of our position to lock in our initial investment, and ride the rest of the way on the house’s money.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – FNMA & FMCC

FNMA and FMCC appeared in the extended watchlist both May 15th and May 16th, and since that time, have each made sizable increases:

FNMA – Low (05/16):1.20 – Yesterday’s High: 2.20 – Gained: 83%

FMCC – Low (05/15): 1.11 – Yesterday’s High: 2.05 – Gained: 85%

Both of these have been trading copious volume, so we want to be on the lookout for a continuation of the recent uptrends. In the event of a pullback, we feel there would be significant bounce opportunity.

Solar Sector Watchlist:
