Retail Recaps, Fresh Options Ideas

Holiday Week Wrap-Up:

After a restful weekend following the Thanksgiving holiday, we’re ready to hop back into the saddle, and ride out in search of opportunity once again. We’ve been a little short on earnings reporters lately, which is not atypical for the holiday season and may very well persist into the new year. We’ll continue to make do however we can, like we did on Friday with a pair of retail plays in WMT and TGT. We expect to be seeing a lot of the retail space over the next several weeks.

As for Friday’s targets for the half day, we were focused in on the WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls and the TGT Weekly $162.50-165 Calls. Each pair of contracts recorded one relatively nominal gain and one big, impressive multibag run for us.

WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls
$150: 2.00-2.73 (+37%)
$152.50: .05-.50 (+900%)

More Options Gainers, Fresh Plays

Options Rehash:

As we’ve already mentioned this week, the landscape for earnings reporters and the subsequent frenzy they produce has been growing thin once again as we head into another quiet period. We won’t let that stop us from rooting out the best ideas we can, and yesterday’s quick-strike play, the DOOO Weekly $70-75 Calls, worked pretty well for us.

Additionally, we signaled a possible longer-term play, the AFG 09/16 $130-132 Calls in a report from a couple of weeks back, which made a noteworthy move we’ve like to review as well.

DOOO Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70: 3.02-5.50 (+233%)
$75: .70-2.85 (+307%)

AFG 09/16 $130-132 Calls

Huge Options Success

Yesterday morning, we offered up a couple of fresh options ideas for our readers, and thanks to another solid day for the markets, along with the earnings-fueled activity of each of these plays, we were able to see gains of an immense nature on the day.

Our ideas were the ROK Weekly $195-200 Calls and the DXC Weekly $30-32 Calls. Regardless of which chain or strike point our readers latched onto, there were impressive multi-bag profit opportunities on the table, which were as follows:

ROK Weekly $195-200 Calls
$195 Calls – Range: 4.50-11.79 – Max Gain: 162%
$200 Calls – Range: 1.96-8.00 – Max Gain: 308%

Fresh Ideas:
GOOS Weekly $40.50-42 Calls
LK 11/22 $19-21 Calls

Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. APDN

We also want to briefly go over yesterday’s landmark performance by APDN, a stock we most recently mentioned on October 22nd. We did see a backslide following that alert, but APDN has more than made up for it with its incredible move.

Yesterday alone, the stock made a big enough move to register as the number one gainer on the NASDAQ as it ran from 5.57-19.69, an eye-popping 254% pop.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Prime Bottom Play

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.

Moleculin Biotech, Inc. MBRX – Recap

We highlighted this play at the end of last month, and shortly thereafter we would observe a low of .7772. Last week, MBRX reached a new high of 1.47, which translates to a gain of 89% in roughly three weeks’ time.

The move, which filled the entirety of the topside gap on the chart, was due to Thursday’s revelation that the company’s drug Annamycin had received the FDA’s Approval for fast-track designation. At 4:30PM on Wednesday, MBRX officials will conduct a call to discuss this and other developments on a live webcast, which will be available in the Investor Relations section at www.moleculin.com.
