Yesterday we saw a new recorded high of 41.55, which represents an overall increase of 115% since we began following the activity in MRNA.

Friday’s 40,000% Gainer

Incredible Options Gains

Even as markets around the globe struggle with the unprecedented effects of the novel coronavirus, chances for ridiculously large profits have been available to short-term traders.

We signaled interest in the AVGO Weekly $220-230 Calls and the ADBE Weekly $295-305 Calls, and saw some eye popping gains, including an unbelievable 40,000% runner!

Target Corp. TGT – Update 

On Thursday morning we signaled a range of extended-term TGT ideas, the TGT 04/03 $98-90 Puts. In addition to current market conditions, the stock was exhibiting a gap to the low-side, and undergoing insider sales. It has created a perfect storm for shorts, and with the way things are going, the rewards should be there for the reaping this week.

We just wanted to remind everyone to watch these plays closely in the next few sessions, as we still expect to see significant gains from these ideas.

Panic Buying/Selling Goes Viral

Co-Diagnostic Inc. CODX – Review

The last time we mentioned CODX in one of our reports was toward the end of last month, and at the time the coronavirus was not inspiring as much fear as it is presently, but the stock had still already begun to trade high volume and edge upward.

Now, with the CDC warning of a potential pandemic, even as some public officials attempt to downplay the significance, fear-buying has driven up stocks like CODX, which happened to be the #2 gainer on the NASDAQ yesterday. It enabled new highs for us, and we’ve now seen CODX run from a low of 1.52 up to 10.89 in just over a month’s time! That’s a fantastic increase of 616%

The stock has broken $14 in the premarket, so our observed range stands to increase significantly today.

Vaxart Inc. VXRT

Speaking of coronavirus plays, we signaled VXRT on January 31st and promptly provided an update this month on the 4th, and it too has enjoyed a fear-powered run up the chart.

Our initially observed low on this play was .956, and as of yesterday’s new high of 1.91 that works out to an upswing of 99% With the stock on the verge of hurtling upward into blue skies, (over $2 in the premarket) we’re going to want to continue to keep an eye peeled for further activity.
