Sticking with SPY Puts

Solid Hits on the SPY

We try to formulate new options ideas for a given session as often as we can without forcing the issue, and on most days we produce at least one. Yesterday, we designated our sole set of new contracts to watch as the SPY Weekly $250-248 Puts, and thanks to a painful day for the markets, we were afforded the chance to score some pretty nice intraday gains.

Two out of three of those strike points translated into instant double-bag opportunities, with the third falling just 1% short of that mark, providing the following moves on the day:

SPY Weekly $250-248 Puts
$250: 4.39-8.73 (+99%)
$249: 4.00-8.10 (+103%)
$248: 3.65-7.50 (+105%)

Fresh Ideas:
SPY Weekly $244-242 Puts
WBA Weekly $44-45 Calls
KMX Weekly $50-55 Calls

CytoDyn, Inc. CYDY

We began tracking CYDY on Tuesday morning, and in addition to making a nominal move on the chart, the company has also put out some coronavirus related press in the couple days. One of the company’s investigational drugs which is about to enter Phase 2b/3 trials, has demonstrated a promising level of efficacy among severe COVID-19 patients.

The stock itself has run from 2.65-3.09 in the past couple of sessions, which marks a move of just 17% but we’re going to be interested to continue tracking its performance in light of the company’s announcements.

VANCOUVER, Washington, April 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: CYDY), (“CytoDyn” or the “Company”), a late-stage biotechnology company developing leronlimab (PRO 140), a CCR5 antagonist with the potential for multiple therapeutic indications, announced today that the three-day effect of leronlimab in eight severely ill COVID-19 patients demonstrated a significant improvement in several important immunologic bio-markers. Patient test data reveals improvement in cytokines, IL-6, and a trend toward the normalization of the CD4/CD8 ratio. (>>View Full PR)

DURRECT Corp. DRRX

We began tracking DRRX last month, with our initial alert coming on the morning of 08/07. Subsequent to that report, the stock recorded a low of 1.22, and yesterday, reached a new high of 2.46.

That works out to a clean double-bag move of 102% in a matter of six weeks. The stock has been on the rise for two months now, so we’ll be interested to see where it will ultimately find itself.

Avadel Pharma Inc. AVDL

We freshly tagged AVDL in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and while it didn’t make our heads spin, the stock did produce a solid intraday gain on our first day of tracking it.

From a low of 4.13, the stock reached a high of 5.37 on the day, which registers as a 30% upswing. We’ll continue to keep it on our watchlist as we head into midweek.

Fresh Options Ideas

As we head through the middle of the week, we’ve got a solid group of companies dropping their quarterly reports. That’s our go-to scenario when searching for short-term options plays, and we have a couple of standouts in which we’re going to form some ideas to track.

Abbott Laboratories, Inc. ABT
Abbott posted a beat on earnings this morning, as well as bumping up its full year guidance, and is going green here in the premarket. We’re going to be tracking the ABT Weekly $83.50 Calls.
___

CSX Corp. CSX
In the case of CSX we’re seeing the exact opposite effect. The company’s Q2 earnings fell short, and it also slashed guidance. In correspondence with that, we’re going to be placing the CSX Weekly $77-76 Puts on watch.
___

CarMax, Inc. KMX
CarMax didn’t report earnings, but nevertheless we like the look of the KMX 07/26 $86 Calls this morning, so we’re going to put them on the radar as well.

Pintech Technology Holdings Ltd. PT

For one more item in this morning’s brief report, we want to put PT on bottom-bounce watch. Tthe stock is exhibiting a strong double bottom, and has some decent volatility potential.

This is just the type of technical setup we routinely scan for when looking for potential bottom plays. We’ll be interested to see how the next several sessions plays out for it.

CarMax, Inc. KMX – Recap

To open things up this week, we’re going to go over the performance of a fresh options ideas from Friday morning’s premarket report. We were tracking the KMX Weekly $85-87.50 Calls and we met with some very good fortune in the form of multi-bag, single session gain opportunities.

All four of the contract sets we watching provided enormous intraday chances, which wasn’t surprising, given the huge help we had last week from a surge in the markets. A strong earnings report from KMX did the rest, and we finished out the week with these superb gains:

$85 Calls – Range: .48-2.55 – Max Gain: 431%
$86 Calls – Range: .27-1.73 – Max Gain: 541%
$87 Calls – Range: .15-1.09 – Max Gain: 627%
$87.50 Calls – Range: .10-.76 – Max Gain: 660%

Fresh Ideas:

Seres Therapeutics, Inc. MCRB

We’re currently very interested in MCRB for multiple reasons. The stock recently touched down on a new annual low, and at the same time, a company director purchased a huge block of shares which amounted to a significant percentage of the overall market cap.

Since then the stock has been trending off of that bottom, with just the sort of volatility potential we’re always after. In addition to the stock itself being a solid candidate for a recovery play, we will also place the MCRB 07/19 $2.50 Calls on watch.

Extended Watchlist:
ACST, MEIP, VIVE, GSV, OBLN, BPMX, NBRV, CJJD

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Options Explosion

Adobe, Inc. ADBE – Update

ADBE continued its incredible performance just as we said it would in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We had already tracked our idea, the ADBE Weekly $285-290 Calls to gains roughly in the area of 150-230% on Wednesday.

The updated figures after yesterday’s huge session are very impressive indeed. Here are the total possible gains that options daytraders could have netted off of our alert.

$289 Calls – Range: 2.94-17.49 – Max Gain: 495%
$289.50 Calls – Range: 1.83-14.68 – Max Gain: 702%
$290 Calls – Range: 1.07-12.52 – Max Gain: 1070%

This is the reason that we spend most of our time these days focusing on quick-strike options ideas. The short-term gain potential exceeds even that of the OTC Markets, which used to be our primary area of focus, many years ago.
