Reviewing Winning Ideas, Formulating New Ones

Johnson & Johnson JNJ

We were correct in assuming yesterday would be a good day to put some options trading ideas for Johnson & Johnson on the table. The company is now at the center of the frantic pursuit of a vaccine to eradicate the deadly COVID-19 virus. We expect we will be following its role in this endeavor to completion.

For now, while we have signaled some longer-term options as well, we’re mainly interested in the short term plays we’re tracking and the moves they began to make yesterday. We will include the modest moves made by our September calls, but would expect to have to wait for them to come into play in a more meaningful way.

Top Ships, Inc. TOPS 

Our chatroom call from Friday, which we highlighted in yesterday morning’s premarket report, tacked considerable gains onto our observed range after another huge bullish session. It saw a daily run from .36 to a new high of .62, which comes out to an intraday increase of 72%

From the low of .135 that TOPS saw on Friday morning when we offered it to our traders chat participants, yesterday’s new high mark represented a two-day upswing of 359% We’re seeing a significant pullback in the stock this morning, so this run has had it, but we’ll keep an eye skinned as it searches out a bottom, as a another swing to the upside may follow shortly thereafter.

Streaming Stocks 

More people are at home streaming content than ever before, and that is going to be true throughout the duration of the coronavirus crisis, which most experts agree will persist until a vaccine is successfully produced, sometime in 2021. Here are a couple of obvious players who stand to maintain solid business through this new dynamic, and some corresponding ideas.

RAD Updates & More

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:

$21 Calls
: 2.00-4.90 (+145%)
$21.50 Calls: 1.07-2.51 (+135%)  
$22 Calls
: 1.50-2.46 (+64%)
$22.50 Calls: 1.18-2.10 (+83%)
$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.

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: Updates, Options Ideas

Spectrum Global Solutions, Inc. SGSI

We wanted to circle back around to mention SGSI this morning, and pass along some media from the company that does not appear in its official news feed.

The president of Spectrum Global gave an interview on the company, and we would highly suggest that our readers take the time to check that video out. Additionally, for anyone who may have missed our initial special report on SGSI, it would be a good idea to give that a look as well.

Spectrum had a really solid year of growth in 2018 and we are very excited about the company’s prospects for the coming New Year.

Riot Blockchain, Inc. RIOT

We also want to place RIOT on recovery watch this morning. The stock, along with the price of Bitcoin, has been beaten up for quite some time now, but may be seeing some stabilization, especially with investor confidence in traditional securities being at perhaps the lowest point in the whole of 2018.

RIOT saw the beginnings of a bottom-bounce yesterday, and we’re going to want to monitor it into year’s end for the potential of a more sustained rebound.

ORCL Weekly $47-48 Calls

JNJ Weekly $130-133 Calls
(In addition to continuing to monitor the 01/25 $135-140 Calls we signaled yesterday)
