Starting Off the Week on a Good Foot

Friday’s Options Recaps 

We’re kicking off this new trading week in typical fashion by highlighting the performance of the fresh options ideas we put forth in Friday morning’s premarket report. Our pair of targets that were set to expire on the day were clear cut runners- specifically the FDX Weekly $275-280 Calls and the MP Weekly $40 Calls.

In both cases, Friday’s session brought major moves in the stocks themselves, which facilitated some incredible intraday gain possibilities for ourselves and our subscribers. Those fantastic multi-bag runs were as follows: 

FDX Weekly $275-280 Calls
$275: 2.90-7.93 (+173%)
$277.50: 1.58-5.61 (+255%)
$280: .72-3.64 (+405%)

MP Weekly $40 Calls
$40: 
.75-6.00 (+700%)

New World Gold Corp. NWGC – Recap

We’ve got to swing back around to NWGC as well, a stock which we alerted back on March 4th, subsequent to which it saw shares change hands for as little .002.

This month has brought mostly positive progress for NWGC, which on Friday broke in Pennyland and set a new high of .0119. That works out to a 3-week run of 495%


Bottom Watch Plays: 

We took notice of some of last week’s biggest losers, with ALX Oncology Holdings, Inc. ALXO and Nurix Therapeutics, Inc. NRIX which both fell off of a cliff on Thursday and Friday.

Whenever we notice massive selloffs like this, we begin to wonder at what point the consolidation becomes untenable. That’s when we place stocks on bottom watch and monitor them for potential reversals, because the volatility from such situations often brings us exactly the type of quick strike opportunities we’re after. Stay tuned for the possibility of specific targets on these plays in the days ahead.

WINNING OPTIONS REVIEW

Aphria, Inc. APHA  – We finished out the week on Friday tracking some cannabis related stocks, and the associated options targets we formulated for them.

Cannabis Stock Explosion in Progress

Aphria, Inc. APHA – Options Recap

Our sole point of focus in terms of fresh options plays in yesterday morning’s premarket report, was a tight range of calls in the APHA chain on the heels of the company’s earning report- the APHA Weekly $10-11 Calls to be exact. Despite a down day for the markets at large, we saw this cannabis stock buck the trend on the strength of increased price targets relating to the company’s impending merger with Tilray, Inc. TLRY, another pot stock with which we’ve had some experience in the past.

The gains on our target contracts for the day yesterday were quite impressive as you’ll see below, but based on the premarket activity we’re observing this morning, we expect the following ranges and total possible gains to explode at the open today.  Read on to find the expanded set of targets that we’re going to formulate for APHA for today and into next week.

APHA Weekly $10-11 Calls
$10:
 .70-2.25 (+221%)
$10.50: .40-1.70 (+325%)
$11: .28-1.20 (+329%)

As we said above, we expect those figures to increase today, and going forward we’re going to add the APHA Weekly $13-14 Calls, and the APHA 01/22 $15 Calls into our pool of tracked contracts. We’ll also include the TLRY Weekly $21-22 Calls just for good measure.

We’re also going to include a wide range of OTC-traded cannabis penny stocks to track below, as the legislative environment is about to shift dramatically toward favorable conditions for federal reclassification, and the business opportunities it will provide should be like nothing we’ve seen to date.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options, Bottom-Plays & More

Twitter, Inc. TWTR – Options Idea

We have yet to talk about TWTR in 2017, namely because the stock has been in an overall downtrend over nearly that whole span. However, in recent weeks, it found a bottom and slowly has begun stair-stepping its way to a recovery. That process is getting a kick in the pants this morning with a significant morning gap up on the heels of Twitter’s earnings. The company posted losses, though not as big as expected, while also reporting an increase in users.

We’re going to see about possibly using the commotion to our advantage with a range of options ideas. Provided TWTR can maintain support at or above its 50DMA (15.19) on any pullbacks, we’re going to be interested in tracking the activity in the TWTR Weekly $15-16 Calls, on which we’ll be looking for a classic dip-and-rip pattern. If properly timed, it could spell some big gains in those contracts.


Apricus Biosciences, Inc. APRI

We want to put APRI on our radars today as a potential bottom-bouncer. At the beginning of the year, from a level comparable to current prices, the stock ran into the mid-$3 range. Now, after a long period of getting beat back nearly to its annual low, it is showing signs of a rebound that we’d like to monitor on the chance that it turns into a full-scale reversal.

You can see just what we mean on the snapshot below. The RSI is indicating that APRI is about to enter extreme oversold territory, while the MACD is just beginning to curl upward and show some convergence. We wouldn’t be surprised to a see cross in the days ahead.

Even just a run back to the 200DMA from here would be a move of almost 100% so we’ll definitely want to keep an eye peeled.

.


NoHo, Inc. DRNK

We’ve been saying how hot the super-subpenny market has been recently, and the trend has been persisting now for quite some time.  We initially slated DRNK for observation in Monday’s premarket report, after which we saw a soild 70% pop from a low of .0003. We stated as much in yesterday’s report, mentioning that we’d certainly want to continue to pay attention, based on a number of factors.

The stock did manage to record a new high for us for the second straight day, making an intraday move of 50% from .0004-.0006, and extending our two-session observed range to a nice, round 100%
