PDD Options Review, 4 Fresh Ideas

Pinduoduo Options Recap:

With the holiday season upon us, it’s going to begin to become more of a struggle in terms of our typical tactics of trading options on the heels of big name earnings reports. But rest assured, we’re still going to keep our noses to the grindstone just like we always do, looking for interesting technical setups, Form-4 alerts, big news, and more.

Yesterday’s quick strike target was the sole earnings reporter of the day to catch our fancy, Chinese online retail giant, Pinduoduo. We targeted the PDD Weekly $73-76 Calls and those contracts all posted notable intraday moves for us, and with the activity we’re seeing in the premarket, we will be expecting to have to return to these targets tomorrow to report further increases.

3.00-4.55 (+52%)
$74: 2.51-3.90 (+55%)

Cosmos Holdings Inc. COSM – OTC Recap:

We also wanted to do another update on COSM, a stock which has been appearing in our extended watchlists regularly since October 26th. In this span of just over a month, we’ve seen an incredible run that just keeps going. From our initially observed low of .0675, the high we’ve seen in the premarket this morning at .8864 marks an astonishing 1213%

Good Start to the Holiday Week:

Things got off to a really good start to kick off the holiday-shortened trading week yesterday. We included a couple of quick strike options plays and a couple of longer-term ones to watch with December expirations in our daily report. While those extended term plays will need some more time to materialize, we got some very nice intraday movement and subsequent gain chances with our weekly calls.

We formulated the FUTU Weekly $50-52 Calls, and the DIS Weekly $98-101 Calls as our daily targets and the results were solid. FUTU was far away the hotter play, posting significant multibag runs on the day. Here’s how those broke down:

FUTU Weekly $50-52 Calls
$50:
 1.55-4.85 (+213%)
$51: 1.04-3.90 (+275%)
$52: .85-3.15 (+271%)

DIS Weekly $98-101 Calls
$98: 1.19-2.00 (+68%)
$99: .84-1.48 (+76%)
$100: .58-1.08 (+86%)
$101: .40-.76 (+90%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 11/22 $395-396 Calls
BURL Weekly $165-170 Calls
BBY Weekly $75-77 Calls
ZM Weekly $76-74 Puts

Reviewing Hot Stock Plays:

Our primary order of business this morning is to switch gears from options trading for just a moment in order to rehash the winning performances of recent stock calls we’ve made.

We’ve been trying to stay as occupied as possible while breaking from our typical focus on options plays due to the dearth of earnings reporters. We generally prefer to trade options directly following their quarterly figures release due to the heightened volatility it provides.

We have been making do with the opportunities that do present themselves, and we found three such opportunities in MRIN, MWWC, and PBYA. The following tables will present the date and link to our initial alert, the subsequent trading ranges, and total potential profits that were available as a result:

Marin Software, Inc. MRIN
