Excellent Options Plays & More

Moderna Inc. MRNA – Update: 

On Monday morning, we began tracking some August calls in the MRNA chain, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. In yesterday’s report, we updated readers on the modest moves they made, and also issued an added idea in the MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls, just to make things even more interesting.

Both sets of ideas have flourished as MRNA has posted two excellent daily performances in a row, rising from around $200 to more than $220. That has facilitated some highly respectable moves in every last one of our designated targets.

Here are the two-day ranges on the August calls and the intraday run recorded by the weeklies yesterday:

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-36.05 (+53%)
$200: 18.00-33.47 (+86%)
$210: 13.55-27.50 (+103%)

MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls.
$210: 5.20-13.50 (+160%)
$212.50: 4.32-11.00 (+155%)

OTC Roundup & More

Penny Stock Poppers: 

The first thing we are going to do today is go over the advances made this week by some of the OTC stocks that have been on our radar. With a drought of earnings reporters, it’s good to have other ways to unearth gain opportunities and we’ve done fairly well with the following slate of penny plays.

In the case of RSHN, we’ve been on its trail for months, and have seen a monster move from the super-subpenny all the way to nearly two cents! The others are picks we brought to the table just this week which have already posted multibag runs.

Below you’ll find the exact date of our initial alert on each stock, followed by the subsequent moves and total possible gains that could have been attained:

RushNet, Inc. RSHN
Alerted: May 13th
Range: .0008-.019

Oracle Corp. ORCL – Options Review:

We also had some fresh options plays in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We were tracking the ORCL Weekly $79-77.50 Puts and after gapping down the stock continued to fall, playing right into our hands.

That range of contract sets recorded multibag moves across the board, with the following intraday gain chances:

ORCL Weekly $79-77.50 Puts
$79: 1.11-3.15 (+174%)
$78.50: .70-2.63 (+276%)

Bullish and Bearish Options Ideas

Ehang Holdings Ltd. EH – Recap:

Things have been cooling on the options front this week as we struggle through a period of extreme low numbers of daily earnings reporters. It’s the volatility following these earnings dumps that provides us with the big gain chances we’re always after.

We have been managing to find plays here and there, however, and one of our ideas from yesterday morning, the EH Weekly $40-45 Calls, did post some solid intraday gains for us. Out of our pair of designated targets, one achieved multibag status while the other fell just a couple of percentage points short.

Here are the total moves and possible profits on the session for those plays:

EH Weekly $40-45 Calls 
$40: 3.98-7.90 (+98%)
$45: 2.34-4.80 (+105%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ll be flipping bearish on ORCL today, and are also taking a longer-term look at SAGE, which has fallen off a cliff this week.

SAGE 08/20 $60-65 Calls 

ORCL Weekly $79-77.50 Puts
