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.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Fresh Bottom-Bouncers & More

Potential Bottom-Bouncers

We’re noticing a couple different possible bottom-plays that we want to start the week off by highlighting this morning:

Rite-Aid Corp. RAD – This stock has been repeat target for us at various times in the past, and we want to circle back around to it today as we’re noticing the recent activity. The stock plunged to new lows on Friday, yet regained almost all of that ground before closing nearly flat.

From the current place on the chart, and given the present indicators suggesting that a rebound could soon be forthcoming, we’re going to want to radar RAD on both the stock side of things, as well as signaling an idea in the options chain. In that case, we’re going to be interested in the RAD 02/25 $6-7 Calls, which gives us plenty of time for the stock to realize the recovery that we’re after.

______

Cymabay Therapeutics, Inc. CBAY –  CBAY is another play we’ve caught this morning as began showing signs of life after having hit its lowest PPS levels in over two months on Friday, as well as gapping up moderately in the premarket today (High: 2.15)

We’ll be looking for the stock to maintain support in the channel between the 50DMA (1.89) and 200DMA’s (1.96) on any pullbacks as things get going today. As you can see on the chart snapshot below, various indicators leading into today’s session appear favorable for CBAY.


Chatroom Call

One of the regular participants in our daily traders chats via Skype hit it big with an excellent call that was shared with the room last week. He swooped in with a sell suggestion on Friday that was perfectly timed.

Our members had a chance to jump into Nouveau Life Pharmaceuticals, Inc. NOUV at .0008 on Thursday, and the stock hit .0089 on Friday just after the following message was communicated, marking a two-day swing of 1102% The stock subsequently tanked, outlining the accuracy of DJ’s call.

As we always remind our readers, anyone is welcome to participate in our daily traders chats. Simply send a Skype contact request to username: ‘stocksumo’ and we’ll fill you in on how to join in!


Players Network, Inc. PNTV

We initially began tracking PNTV this fall, mentioning it on Oct. 20th and Nov. 8th, subsequent to which time we would witness the stock trading at a low of .0089.

We added a reminder in our report on Thursday as it had begun to ramp up heavily, and on Friday it went on to hit a new 52-week high of .048. It extends the overall gain we’ve observed in this play over the past couple of months to an impressive 439%

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: CCTC, EBIO, Options & More


Potential Momentum Plays

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. CCTC – In a characteristic move, CCTC repeated the history of its own chart, as a stock that seemingly likes to make volatile swings to the upside. It breached its 50DMA in a bullish manner yesterday, so we are going to tag it for observation today in the event of continued momentum.

The chart is showing a series of ripening indicators as well. In order to hold our attention, CCTC will need to maintain support at or above that 50DMA, currently at .153 on any pullbacks.


______

Eleven BioTherapeutics, Inc. EBIO
– EBIO is a stock we’ve come back to on several occasions in the past, and today, we want to circle around to point out its current status as a bottom-bouncing momentum play.

It hit four-month lows just five sessions ago, and has made a decent effort at a rebound since then, so we’ll keep it on watch for the possibility of further recovery.


Options Ideas

We’ve got a couple of earnings-related options ideas this morning as well. As our regular readers are surely aware, post-earnings options trading is one of our favorite and most reliable ways of rooting out rapid short term gain opportunities.

Shake Shack, Inc. SHAK – Weekly $35.50-37 Calls

Macy’s, Inc. M – Weekly $38-41 Calls

______

Reminder: We’re also still tracking our idea on Starbucks from last Friday, the SBUX Weekly $53.50-55 Calls. The stock has traded up to nearly $55 in the premarket today, so we’ll be open to the possibility of seeing our gains extended there.
