4-Pack of Options Ideas

NIO, Inc. NIO

We tagged NIO for obserrvation to start the week on Monday, and it did end up making a notable run following that report. We saw a low of 10.70, and yesterday it hit a high of 15.28. That marks a three-session swing of 43% which we would consider decent volatility for a $10+ stock.

NIO did taper back into the close, but we will continue to monitor its activity. If it can continue to register higher lows, we won’t yet consider its run finished.

Fresh Options Ideas:

We were in an earnings dry spell for a few weeks there, but slowly we’re beginning to see more big names coming across the calendar. This morning for earnings ideas we’ve got our sights set on a bullish and one bearish target.

On Helen of Troy Ltd. HELE, which posted a solid beat, we’re going to focus on the HELE 07/17 $210-220 Calls.

Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc. WBA didn’t fare as well in the last quarter as was expected of it, and we’re feeling like a short in this case might be the way to go, so we’ll tag the WBA Weekly $42-40.50 Puts.

Recent Performers

S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) – Recap

Our main winner from Friday morning’s premarket report was our idea for the SPY. The markets saw an early rip out of the gate before pulling back, running once again, and eventually tapering off into the close.

As a result of the activity we observed, our designated contract sets experienced two separate and significant surges on the day. Here are the total possible gains afforded by the moves that occurred:

SPY 07/02 $313-314 Calls
$313: 1.88-4.22 (+47%) | .67-1.55 (+47%)
$314: 1.28-2.10 (+49%) | .36-.77 (+47%)

Other Recent Winners:

Plug Power Inc. PLUG – We also want to begin this fresh trading week by re-highlighting PLUG, which we most recently talked about on June 24th. Subsequent to that report, the stock traded for as little as 6.91 a share, and on Friday the stock attained a new high of 9.65. This morning in the premarket we’ve seen shares change hands for 10.09.

That puts our total observed increase on PLUG in under two weeks at a respectable 46% and warrants further attention going forward.
____

Overstock.com Inc. OSTK – Another recent performer we’ve been hot on the trail of is OSTK, which we mentioned quite a bit back in May. Since then, OSTK has done little else other than climb its way to new highs week after week.

When we first alerted on OSTK it was trading at 15.45, and to close out the short week on Thursday, the stock had hit 39.38. That works out to a 2-month upswing of 155%

Winning Stock Picks

Before we close up shop for New Year’s Day, we wanted to go over some really solid stock ideas we’ve recently mentioned, including two picks from yesterday morning’s premarket report, as well as one we brought up last week.

Sevara Inc. SVRA – This stock, which we had in yesterday’s extended watchlist, ended up as the NASDAQ’s number one gainer of the day on the basis of where it had gapped up from the previous session. It traded from a low of 3.21 up to 5.20, an intraday push of 62%

NIO Ltd. NIO – Also tagged in yesterday’s watchlist, we got a nice move out of NIO that registered as the #3 big board performance of the day. This one ran from a low of 2.88 and hit 4.87, marking a respectable gain of 69%
____

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP – We slated this OTC stock for observation when we returned from the Christmas break on Thursday, and in the few sessions since, we’ve seen an incredible performance. From its low of .028 on Thursday, it has reached a new high of .0699, which represents a three day swing of 150%

Rite Aid Corp. RAD – Update.

We have been attacking the RAD options chain on a number of fronts, most recently being Friday morning, when we issued a couple of sets of ideas. Today we will focus on those expiring this Friday, which were the RAD 01/03 $21-23 Calls.

We’ll continue to monitor these plays throughout the rest of this holiday-split week, but for now, here were the ranges and total possible gains on those five sets of RAD contracts:

$23 Calls: .78-2.01 (+158%)

We also signaled interest in a much longer term RAD idea on Friday morning, with the RAD 04/17 $27-30 Calls, which we are not quite ready to report on just yet, but will continue to monitor into the New Year.
