Options Reviews, New Ideas

Vaxart Inc. VXRT – Review

VXRT was one of the first coronavirus plays we signaled interest in tracking since we tagged it on January 31st at a low of .956. We’ve mentioned it a couple more times since then, including the end of last month and yesterday morning.

The stock has been on the rise for pretty much the entire month of April so far, and yesterday it attained yet another new high for us, registering trades for as much as 4.12. From our originally observed low, that represents a total increase of 331% in the span of what has otherwise been three difficult months!

OWCP Recap, Fresh Options Ideas

SPY Options Review
.
We had one lone set of fresh options ideas to start the week off yesterday, signaling our interest in the SPY Weekly $284-286 Calls .

The markets did see a sharp rise in the first half of the session, despite returning to close flat on the day. That allowed for some reasonably solid chances for quick-strike gains in our designated target range.

Weekly $284-286 Calls
$284: 3.52-6.09 (+73%)
$285: 3.79-5.49 (+45%)

OWC Pharmaceutical Research Corp. OWCP

It turned out to be OWCP that put up the most notable performance off of our extended watchlist yesterday. We saw the stock do big things last year, but were mentioning it for only the second time in 2020.

It put forth a couple of nice little moves on the day, first trading up from a low of .014 to .0289 (+92%), then pulling back to .0192 before hitting a new high of .036 (+88%). In total, the stock rose 157% from its early morning low to the ultimate high set during power hour.

SMPL Update, Form-4 Alert

The Simply Good Foods Co. SMPL – Options Review
.
On Thursday morning, SMPL was among the fresh options trading targets that we had mentioned in our premarket report. We were looking specifically at the SMPL 08/21 $20-22.50 Calls.

Despite it being one of our relatively rare longer-term swing-trade ideas, with tons of time remaining until expiration, we did see some early gains right off the bat from those plays as the week drew to a close.

08/21 $20-22.50 Calls
$20: 1.50-2.20 (+47%)
$22.50: .70-1.30 (+86%)

We’ll certainly continue to have these targets on watch in the weeks and months ahead, it was good to see some instantaneous opportunity arise.

AxoGen Inc. AXGN – Form-4 Alert

We would also like to make mention of AXGN this morning. which we caught sight of during a routine Form-4 scan. We’ve got the CEO picking up shares and adding to his already considerable position just as the stock was preparing to register new annual lows.

We generally like to put stocks in this situation on watch, and will be anxiously awaiting the company’s quarterly results due in roughly two weeks.

Back to Work! Fresh Options Ideas

Special Notice:

Due to severe weather on the East coast earlier this week our chief editor was without power and we were unable to send out our newsletter yesterday. We apologize for that, and most of our readers know that it is very unlikely that we ever miss a beat. It was perhaps only the second trading day in our 10 year history where we were unable to publish a premarket report. We are now full operational once again, and back to business as usual!

In the meantime, we did put out some ideas in our live Skype traders chat yesterday with respect to ROKU calls and SPY calls that both worked out well. See below for instructions on how to access the live traders chatroom. Today it appears as though the markets are giving back some of the gains we saw yesterday and the week prior.

UnitedHealth Group, Inc.

UNH Is bucking the overall market trend gapping up on following an earnings release, we are going to want to pay close attention to the UNH Weekly $270-277.50 Calls for the remainder of this week!
