Friday 4 Winners, Today’s 4 Fresh Plays

Friday’s Options Gainers:

We closed out the trading week on Friday morning in grand fashion, highlighting a 4-pack of fresh earnings-related options ideas for the day. Despite the markets sliding back and three out of the four being bullish ideas, we scored solid gain opportunities in everything we were focused on, which is fairly typical around here.

The targets that we were interested in tracking in Friday’s premarket report were the KMB Weekly $130-134 Calls, the SLB Weekly $40.50-41 Calls, the HCA Weekly 245-237.50 Puts, and the SNAP Weekly $29-30 Calls. As we said, every idea we were tracking produced several chances for really nice daily gains, including a ten and twelve-bagger on those SLB Calls, as well as a nine and thirteen-bagger in the SNAP Calls!

Form-4 Alert, Fresh Options Plays

Nkarta, Inc. NKTX – Form-4 Alert

We took notice of an interesting new IPO this morning in NKTX. Typically we would be more interested in stocks with a long history of data to look at, but in this case a notable name is buying up shares. Mega-laboratory GlaxoSmithKline purchased a noteworthy $15M chunk of NKTX, and the newly issued stock has been in a freefall looking for support.

In our experience, we see a lot of IPO’s that sell off hard directly after their initial offering just like this one. It’s when they establish a firm bottom that the buying opportunity is at its greatest, so we are definitely going to want to keep a close watch over NKTX for that to occur. There may be a solid gain opportunity on the horizon here that we won’t want to miss.


Virgin Galactic Holdings Inc. SPCE

We highlighted some calls in SPCE last week and met with great success, to the tune of several multi-bag gain opportunites. It has continued to run this week, and so far we’ve seen a 39% move in the stock alone from 19.07-23.53.

We are interested in selecting another range of calls to monitor with SPCE faring so well, so we’re going to place the SPCE $25.50-26.50 Calls on watch for the remainder of the week.


GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX

We tagged GOVX in our
extended watchlist on Tuesday, and this stock has made an absolutely eye-popping move.

From its low of .62 on Tuesday, GOVX hit 1.75 yesterday, marking a total two-day upswing of 182% We’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for more activity in this highly volatile play.
