Excellent Options Movers

Exciting Options Activity

We’ve been having an excellent week for options, and saw some new highs in the PTON Calls we submitted in Tuesday morning’s report, as well as some nice activity out of the starting gate for a couple of our fresh options ideas. We went to the short side on EA and long on CLVS, and in both cases we were able to reap instant rewards.

PTON Weekly $34-35 Calls
$34: 2.96-6.10 (+106%)
$35: 2.41-5.40 (+124%)

Just as we mentioned yesterday, we expect to see these PTON gains increased today, based on premarket activity in the stock. We’re also going to include the PTON 05/15 $42-44 Calls in our watchlist.

Massive Form-4 Alert

Options Reviews

Yesterday morning, our primary order of business was to continue our commitment to bringing our readers as many solid quick-strike options ideas as we can. Not surprisingly, we were able to see some very nice opportunities in our designated targets.

Despite a mixed bag of bears and bulls, the volatile intraday swinging action of the markets made it possible to jump on big gains for each of them. Here were our top plays for the day and the total potential gains which could have been achieved.

SPY Weekly $244-242 Puts
$244: 1.30-2.89 (+122%)
$243: 1.08-2.49 (+131%)
$242.50: 1.04-2.37 (+128%)
$242: .97-2.19 (+126%)

Howard Hughes Corp. HHC – Fresh Options Idea

We want to place some options in the HHC chain on longer-term watch today after noticing some massive institutional insider buying that has come in near the stock’s recent lows, to the tune of $500M. You don’t sink those kind of funds into a stock unless you are supremely confident that its present level of support is rock solid. We are going to begin tracking the HHC 07/17 $50-60 Calls as a result.

More Pharma Winners

Pharma Updates

Ocular Therapeutics, Inc. OCUL – We’ve been observing OCUL for a couple months now, beginning with our report from Dec. 30th. The stock did rise considerably in a predictable pattern over the first two months of 2020, and thanks largely in part to the effect the coronavirus is having on many pharma plays, the stock really kicked the increases into high gear this week.

Subsequent to our report just prior to the New Year, OCUL was trading for a little as 3.83 a share, and its new high yesterday came in at 7.48, marking a solid rise of 95%
_____

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO – We signaled INO on Thursday morning, and provided an update again in yesterday’s report. From its low of 3.83, we have now witnessed an upswing of 145% as of the stock’s new high of 9.40 achieved yesterday.

The markets have begun to swing back and forth with just the kind of volatility that we relish, but it is highly unlikely that we are seeing the last of the coronavirus’ effect on stocks in general. With the outbreak not yet contained, it stands to reason that this volatility will persist for the foreseeable future.

Campbell Soup Co. CPB – Options Update

We offered up an options idea for the Campbell’s chain yesterday, the CPB Weekly $49-50.50 Calls. While the 49.50’s didn’t trade substantial volume, the other three contract sets in the range saw some nice moves.

CPB Weekly $49-50.50 Calls
$49: 2.03-3.10 (+53%)
$50: 1.25-2.58 (+106%)
$50.50: .98-2.10 (+114%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
VIPS Weekly $13.50-14.50 Calls
MRVL Weekly $23.50-25 Calls
SPLK Weekly $152.50-149 Puts

Extended Watchlist:
HRAL, ARYC, SPOM, NVNT, IQST, ABML

INO Update & More

Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. INO

We signaled INO on Thursday morning, and this week, the stock has enjoyed some really solid activity, which facilitated the chance at a big gain for traders. We have observed a range of 3.83-7.48 in just a couple of sessions. That works out to total potential profit of 95%

It was a buck of the overall trend as many of these pharma plays have been doing through the coronavirus scare currently in progress. While the markets got a momentary boost from the Fed’s surprise rate cut yesterday, it was not long-lived, and the decline for other stocks continued throughout the majority of the session.

This morning, the stock has hit 8.80 in the premarket, extending our observed gain this week to 130%

While world governments rush to contain the spread of the virus, it would not yet be accurate to call it under control. We would expect much more hardship on the day-to-day for stocks before we’re out of the woods. So plays like INO are a welcome respite during this tumultuous time, and we’ll do our best to keep them coming.

Using Market Fears for Added Leverage

Deere & Co. DE

We had a pair of options ideas set for the Deere chain in Friday’s premarket report, and despite the markets getting rocked, they managed some fantastic multi-bag gains for ourselves and our readers.

The targets were the Deere & Co. DE Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and both contract sets recorded stupendous gains as the stock bucked the overall trend of the day.

DE Weekly $175-177.50 Calls
$175: 2.27-7.00 (+208%)
$177.50: .99-4.57 (+362%)

Fresh Options Ideas

The markets appear to be headed for another difficult session due to continued coronavirus fears among other things, so our fresh options ideas today will be bearish, with the exception of SON, which is exhibiting a good technical setup to put it on longer term watch for a possible rebound in the weeks and months ahead.

INTU Weekly $290-287.50 Puts
PANW Weekly $240-235 Puts
SON 04/17 $55-60 Calls
