A New Earnings Season Commences

Moderna Inc. MRNA – Options Runners: 

We closed out the week on Friday morning by highlighting the nice moves made by the August contracts we’ve been tracking since June 21st,  the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. Additionally, we included some fresh weekly targets in the MRNA Weekly $265-$280 Calls.

Despite a rather poor day for the markets in general, Moderna continued to add impressively to its recent bullish surge. The stock has been in a general upward trend for the entire year, but that really kicked into overdrive over the past week.

Here are the new highs and total increases posted by our August calls, as well as the intraday ranges and total possible gains on the weeklies. Very impressive figures across the board: 

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-93.23 (+297%)
$200: 18.00-88.85 (+394%)
$210: 13.55-78.66 (+480%)

$195: 1.27-9.95 (+683%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

Just a reminder, another earnings season is going to heat up quickly with hundreds of companies slated to report this week, hundreds more next week, and so on. The remainder of July and much of August should yield a wealth of opportunities in that department.

This morning we’re going to be looking at a potential post-earnings play in Auto Nation and a chart play idea for Airbnb:

HUGE Stock Runners & More

Majic Wheels Corp. MJWL – Review:

The first thing we want to do this morning is review the recent activity in MJWL, a stock that we initially targeted as a subpenny play in our report on the morning of May 13th. The low following that alert was .0094, the stock began to run, and it hasn’t looked back.

Following another of what has been innumerable new highs since then MJWL cracked TWENTY cents, with shares changing hands for as much as .221. From our observed low of six weeks ago, that works out to an overall increase of 2251%, making it our hottest OTC play of the year so far.


Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Review:

Speaking of impressive stock runs, MRIN is a NASDAQ play that we began tracking in our report on the morning of June 24th. It isn’t often that we see such intense PPS gains in the higher cap stocks over such a short period, but in this current market anything is possible, and MRIN’s run has been impressive.

On the morning of our intial alert the stock was as low as 2.56. After nearly a week of big sessions, yesterday’s took the cake as MRIN soared to a new high of 18.82. That works out to a four-session swing and total potential gains of 635%
