Options Success, Bottom Watch Play

SPY Options Review

Yesterday morning, we went bearish on the markets as a whole, signaling the SPY 09/09 $340-338 Puts for observation in our premarket report. Our hunch on the daily direction of the wind proved solid, as the contracts in our designated range produced healthy intraday runs.

Here are the moves and total possible gains we witnessed there:  

SPY 09/09 $340-338 Puts
$340
: 3.94-7.59 (+93%)
$339: 3.30-6.78 (+105%)
$338: 2.75-6.00 (+118%)

Akabia Therapeutics, Inc. AKBA

We took notice of AKBA this morning because of the intriguing setup of the chart. The company had a bad clinical report recently and fell off of an absolute cliff. We want to place this on bottom watch and observe closely over the next several sessions.

There is a massive gap to the upside that you could drive a truck through, so we’re going to be anxious to see when the stock will move to fill some of that gap.

DRRX Update, FDX Options

DURECT Corp. DRRX – Review

With one half session remaining before the midweek holiday hiatus, and the earnings calendar once again void of activity, we want to circle back to a recent mention of ours in DRRX. We placed the stock on our radar last month on the 12th, and in the roughly five weeks since, it had really begun to put up some solid performances.

Subsequent to its inclusion in our premarket report on 11/12, DRRX registered a low of 1.72, and yesterday the stock once again registered a new high of 3.00. That’s an overall increase of 74% The stock also closed just a few cents below its high of day, so we’ll continue to keep an eye on its activity.


FedEx Corp. FDX – Fresh Options Idea

FedEx recently reversed and bounced off of its lows, and now appears to be in position to begin filling a gap on the chart. In anticipation of this we are going to place a range of calls in the FDX chain on longer term watch.

We;re going to go out to the FDX 01/31 $157.50-160 Calls to continue to track through the holidays and into the new year.

Fresh Options Trio & More

Kodiak Sciences, Inc. KOD 

To kick off the trading week on Monday, we included a mention of KOD in Monday’s premarket extended watchlist. On Tuesday morning, we updated reader on the amazing run the stock made from 35.00 to a high of 72.97 (+108%).

Yesterday’s session saw a pullback from those highs followed by another highly impressive intraday swing. The stock traded in a range from a low of 53.00 to a subsequent new high of 74.50. That’s another huge daily upswing to the tune of 41% and a total increase over Monday’s low of 113%


Workday Inc. WDAY –  Options Update

We had highlighted some WDAY Puts in yesterday’s premarket report, the WDAY Weekly $167.50-165 Puts, and despite the stock closing in the green, it had some trouble early on that led to some nice multi-bag gain opportunities.

The $167.50 Puts ran from a low of 2.25 and reached 5.93 for a gain of 164%, while the $165’s traded in a range from 1.50-4.10, an upswing of 173%

Big Gainers, New Ideas

Donaldson Company Inc. DCI

With the earnings calendar still looking a bit light following the Thanksgiving lull, we are seeing one potential opportunity showing some synergy with the current market environment.

DCI missed on earnings published this morning, while also having been exhibiting a strong double top formation (bearish signal). Along with what looks to be a strong chance of another lackluster day for the markets at large, we are going to begin tracking the DCI 12/20 $50-45 Puts. 


Kodiak Sciences, Inc. KOD 

We also wanted to review the epic single session performance of KOD, which we included in yesterday’s premarket extended watchlist.

The stock responded with a huge run from 35.00 to a high of 72.97. That works out to an intraday surge of 108% which is simply incredible for a stock in this price range.


Organogenesis Holdings Inc. ORGO

Lastly, we’ve got a number of factors drawing our interest to ORGO. From a technical standpoint, the stock is looking ripe for rebound off of its bottom and potential topside gap fill.

Meanwhile, an institutional insider filed a Form-4 for the purchase of $30M near the current lows. When considering the entire picture, ORGO is definitely one that we will want to observe closely in the days, and possibly weeks ahead.

CGIX Recap, Retail Plays

Cancer Genetics Inc. CGIX – Review

We’re kicking off the trading month of September this morning with a recap oi the recent performance of a stock that we tagged for observation a couple of weeks back.

We included mention of CGIX in our morning report on November 15th as the stock was searching out a bottom. It established a low of 2.00 just a couple sessions after that, and hasn’t looked back since. In a series of huge days over the past week, CGIX has rocketed to a new high of 9.50. That worked out to an upswing of 375% in a matter of less than two weeks! Cheers to anyone who caught a ride on this shooting star!


Amazon Inc. AMZN – Fresh Options Idea 

With Black Friday and Cyber Monday on track to record all time highs in online sales, we’re looking to some possible quick-strike options ideas in the AMZN chain, despite the fact that we typically stay away from the stock due to it’s incredibly high PPS.

What we’re going to do is radar some weekly calls to track over the next few sessions. We’ll follow the activity in the AMZN Weekly $1822.50-1827.50 Calls.
