Recap of Winning Options, Fresh Ideas

Options Reviews

Morgan Stanley MS – 
Yesterday morning we were looking at some fresh options ideas, and among them was the MS Weekly $54.50-56 Calls. The stock had a solid session after reporting a beat on earnings and revenues for Q4 2019, aided by a good day for the markets at large.

As a result, we were able to witness multibag gains in three out of four sets of contracts, with the fourth not far behind. Here were the ranges and total possible profits that were on the table for the session:

MS Weekly $54.50-56 Calls
$54.50
: 1.42-2.82 (+79%)  
$55: .87-2.37 (+97%)
$55.50: .62-1.90 (+119%)
$56
: .35-1.37 (+125%)

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. TSM – We also formulated an idea for TSM in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and those produced some really nice gain opportunities as well.

Here were the total profits there for taking on those plays:

TSM Weekly $58.50-60 Calls
$58.50: .40-.85 (+113%)  
$59: .20-.55 (+175%)
$59.50: .10-.30 (+200%)

Kiwa Bio-Tech Products Group Corp. KWBT

Lestly, we wanted to quickly recap the recent performance of another of our selections. We tagged KWBT on the 27th of December, and in the last couple of weeks the stock has been in good shape.

KWBT has run from .018-.0416, marking a fantastic run of 131% in just a short span. We’ll continue to keep this OTC play on the radar going forward.

Huge Stock Moves & More

Rite Aid Corp. RAD – Review

We were just talking about RAD in our premarket report from last Friday, and we wanted to close out this week by bring up the very respectable run it has produced. The morning of our report, the stock saw a low of 12.11, and subsequently registered a new high yesterday at 19.22 (+59%). As of the premarket high of 22.44 established in the premarket this morning, we’ve witnessed a one-week run of 85% from Rite Aid.

We’re also going to signal a couple of different sets of options ideas to track in the RAD chain over the next week, and beyond. We’re going to radar the RAD 1/03 $21-23 Calls, as well as the RAD 04/17 $27-30 Calls.


Other Updates
 
We also wanted to highlight some mega-moves made by stocks we’ve placed on watch recently, once again proving conclusively that options aren’t our only forte.

We tagged Clearside Biomedical, Inc. CLSD in our extended watchlist on October 18th, and witnessed a low of .75 the following day. The stock has been gradually ramping its way up in the several weeks since then, continually registering new highs, of which it hit 3.95 yesterday. That’s an incredible increase of 427%
____

We put Oncolytics Biotech, Inc. ONCY on watch back on November 14th, and have watched as the stock began to edge its way up, before absolutely exploding over the last week. Our observed range on this one in just over a month has been .82-2.92, a gain of 256%
____

Many of our longer term readers will remember how significant the gains were out of OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP as we first came across it at the end of 2016 when it went on a mega run from subpenny levels to over 2.00. When it appeared in yesterday’s watchlist it was time to start paying close attention to it again. OWCP made a 94% intraday move yesterday from a low of .028 to a high of .0543. Volume has been ramping up the last few sessions and with this type of momentum, we’ll definitely continue to keep an eye on it.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas

With stocks characteristically lagging a bit as we head into the holiday break, and figuring to do so until the turn of the new year, we’re going to zero in on a couple of potential options plays.

Celgene Corp. CELG

CELG is gapping up into the $120-range this morning, and we will be interested in tracking its activity as things open up today with untraded-upon news of a significant nature. The company achieved a favorable outcome on a long-standing patent dispute which was announced yesterday post-market (View PR).

We will be looking for a possible dip-and-rip scenario, and will want to see the 50DMA of 115.03 hold as support on any pullbacks. Provided it can manage that, we will look to the CELG Weekly* $116-120 Calls for the possibility of some intraday flip opportunities.

*We must remind everyone that Weekly options contracts for this week will expire upon tomorrow’s 1PM Eastern market close. 

____

Spirit Airlines, Inc. SAVE

SAVE is currently striking us as a potential extended-term swing-trade candidate. Despite already having experienced a sharp uptrend at the beginning of this month to rebound off of its annual lows, the stock is still trading at roughly half of its 52-week high. The possibility of a protracted recovery is very real, in our opinion.

SAVE January 15th $40 & 45 Calls are going to be the contracts that we will be placing on watch this morning, and for the next few weeks.

Additionally, as we’ve pointed out on the chart below, there is a significant gap from roughly $45-49. The filling of this gap would undoubtedly produce serious gains in the aforementioned options.


Swift Energy Co. SWYW

Speaking of large chart gaps, we’ve noticed one on SFYW, which has managed to rebound after falling off a cliff a couple of sessions back. We’ve identified the gap on the following snapshot:

We’ll go ahead and put SFYW on our radars over the next several sessions; a return to pre-gap PPS levels would spell a double-bagger from the current price.

Medbox, Inc. MDBX

MDBX is a stock that we were tracking fairly heavily over the course of the fall season, awaiting a solid bottom-bounce signal as the stock drew back steadily in PPS over a period of many weeks.

Yesterday we were sent into high alert mode with regard to MDBX, and while the observation came just a few minutes late to make it into our premarket report, it was shared in our trader’s chat promptly at the open as you can see from the following snapshot:

What ensued was an intraday run, and the strong bounce signal we were awaiting all along. From a low of .02 MDBX shot up 95% to reach an HOD of .039; that worked out to a 95% pop.

We felt it was another perfect illustration of why we encourage all of our followers to get in on our daily trader’s chats. There are often opportunities mentioned that won’t appear in our premarket reports, appearing in the chatroom throughout the course of a given day.

Once again, all one needs to do is log onto a Skype account and send a contact request to username ‘stocksumo‘, and you will be admitted into the chat!


pSivida Corp. PSDV – News Alert

We’re casting a portion of our attention this morning in the direction of PSDV. As we were examining this morning’s PR feeds, we noticed an announcement from the company referring to positive Phase-III study data and a huge concurring gap-up.

Medidur is PSDV’s treatment in development for an eye affliction known as posterior uveitis, and the results of the trials are said to be “statistically significant”. We’ll be monitoring this play as the session kicks off today in the event that the move up on the chart is significant as well.

Given that it’s traded up over 50% in today’s premarket, we may need to observe for possible dip-and-rip action in the stock.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: PLKD Recap, Options Idea & More

Pleasant Kids, Inc. PLKD 

PLKD was far and away the best among all of the stocks we talked about in yesterday’s premarket report. We’d mentioned the fact that the stock had been on a very steady run-up since our first alert came roughly six weeks prior, on October 13th. Up until yesterday, the total observed move we witnessed in PLKD was an impressive 380% swing from .0581- .279.

Despite being up so high already we pointed out the bullishness of various aspects of the chart, specifically stating that we believed further gains were possible. Our hunch proved accurate, and once again PLKD made another nice move to the upside! From its daily low of .295 the stock pressed upward to reach .375; a healthy 27% intraday increase. That stretched our overall range to a monstrous 545% in a span of just six weeks!


MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P.  MWE – Options Idea

MWE caught our eye yesterday morning after we noticed that the stock had not only strung together multiple sessions of higher highs and higher lows, but it had breached its 50DMA during Friday’s short session. Continued bullish signals were confirmed yesterday with another solid session that carried MWE to a high of 48.21.

We’ve had enough of simply watching from the sidelines, so we thought we’d formulate an idea to take advantage of the trend using the MWE options chain. Instead of one of our characteristic weekly expiration targets, which the MWE chain does not provide, we’re going to stretch things out a bit to the MWE 12/18 $50 Calls.  This gives us an extra couple of weeks to work with and increases the likelihood of seeing some substantial moves if the stock is sluggish in testing the $50-mark.


SpectraSCIENCE, Inc. SCIE

SCIE is a play that we tagged for observation last week, and we wanted to take an opportunity this morning to update readers on the solid performance the stock has put forth.

Yesterday’s session produced chances at up to 94% in profits as SCIE ran from .0018 to .0035. Subsequent to our mention of SCIE just prior to the holiday break last week we saw a low .0013, which balloons the total move we’ve seen out of this stock in just a week to a highly respectable 169%
