Options Swing Trade Ideas & More

Recap of Friday’s Plays:

We finished out last week with a bang as we reaped the reward of some very good options ideas. Not only did our fresh ideas from Friday morning in the SPY and TLS pop off for multibag gains, but our targets in DRI from Thursday morning’s premarket report, also tacked on some impressive new highs.

These gains were added in roughly the final 90 minutes of the session, where the markets made an incredible surge into the close that sets this holiday-shortened week up to be very interesting.

Here are the trading ranges and total possible profits on our successful ideas, a couple of which are still active for another couple of weeks before expiration:

SPY Weekly $398-399 Calls 
$398:  1.85-7.63 (+312%)
$398.50: 2.23-6.44 (+189%)
$399: .53-5.32 (+903%)

ViacomCBS, Inc. VIAC – Options Idea 

We’ve been taking note of the massive selloff in VIAC over the past week as the company’s massive fundraising efforts resulted in a huge $2.1B block trade priced at roughly $47/share. The stock has come all the way down to those levels and we want to enter a longer-term swing trade idea to coincide.

We are going to radar the VIAC 06/18 $50-55 Calls and keep track of them over the coming weeks and months.

SPY Options Review 

With a relatively light earnings calendar yesterday morning, we turned to some daily calls for the SPY in order to offer up some type of fresh options idea to kick off the week. We tagged the SPY 03/22 $389-390 Calls
and it was a good thing that we did, because they exploded for possible multibag gains.

It appears we will have much m,ore to choose from in terms of earnings plays today, but when the selection is slim like yesterday, we tend to turn to the SPY, which can usually be played for quick strike gains no matter the activity as long as the volatility is there.

Here were the excellent single-session moves recorded by our designated SPY targets yesterday:

SPY 03/22 $389-390 Calls
$389: 1.59-5.00 (+173%)
$390: 1.08-3.99 (+255%)

Trans Global Group Inc. TGGI – Recap

As we often like to remind our readers, it’s best not to gloss over our daily Extended Watchlists included in our reports because these lists often contain hidden OTC gems on the brink of making moves.

Such was the case with TGGI yesterday morning. Subsequent to our alert on the stock, it ran 67% from a daily low of .003 up to .005. It has registered higher lows and higher highs for each of the past three sessions, so we’ll be open to the possibility of seeing more positive activity unfold as the week progresses.

Nano Labs Corp. CTLE – Recap

At the top of our to-do list this morning is going to be CTLE, which we tagged for observation in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We include these Extended Watchlist plays nearly every day, and it’s always a good idea to add them to a watchlist on your own screens, as they often turn up hidden gems like this one.

CTLE recorded a low of .0044 before pushing up to a high of .0095, which represents an intraday rip of 116% The stock posted this performance on its largest single day trading volume in well over five years, with over a billion shares changing hands! With activity on this level, we’ll certainly want to continue to follow the CTLE chart as we head through midweek.


Ebix.com Inc. EBIX – Bottom Bouncer

We took notice of EBIX this morning on a routine scan, and discovered a very attractive bottom setup on the chart. As you can see on the included snapshot below, the stock fell off a cliff last month and has spent the past week establishing a new bottom.

This is exactly the type of setup we look for in a potential recovery play, with a base of support along with a massive topside gap on the chart. We’re going to add a longer-term options idea that would allow us to take advantage of any impending rebounds. We’re going to radar the EBIX 06/18 $40-45 Calls.

DHI Recap, Fresh Options Plays

D.R. Horton, Inc. DHI – Options Review 

The big winner from the options ideas we put forth in yesterday morning’s premarket report turned out to be the DHI Weekly $65-66.50 Calls which fared quite well as the stock posted a daily range from a low of 66.36 up to a high of 71.81.

It continued our amazing streak of daily ideas with multi-bag gain potential, with each and every contract in our designated range recording a huge intraday run. Here were the maximum possible profits for anyone who happened to be in these calls:

DHI Weekly $65-66.50 Calls
$65: 2.23-6.55 (+194%)
$66: 1.75-5.51 (+215%)
$66.50: 1.14-5.10 (+347%)

Starbucks Corp. SBUX – Options Update

Our options idea from Friday morning, the SBUX 11/11 $53.50-55 Calls
continued to be good plays as SBUX stock posted some solid intraday activity even as many others faltered in the uncertainty of the elections. It allotted for us to see further opportunities over the multi-bag gains we’d already been afforded to that point.

$53.50 Calls – Range: 1.05-1.47 – Max Gain: 169%
$54 Calls – Range: .76-1.07 – Max Gain: 300%
$54.50 Calls – Range: .45-.69 – Max Gain: 458%
$55 Calls – Range: .23-.43 – Max Gain: 344%

The markets as a whole are showing trepidation over the events of the past 24 hours, but once again, we must remain open to the possibility of seeing further moves out of these contracts which have treated us well so far.


CANNABIS SECTOR UPDATE:

As expected California passed its recreational marijuana initiative on election day, with Nevada and Massachusetts following suit.  Medical pot passed in North Dakota, Arkansas, and Florida. As we stated before, the whole landscape of the cannabis industry is set to change now, as the country as a whole takes several leaps toward the end of nationwide prohibition.

It’s just the outcome we expected, and the ramifications will begin to come into clearer focus in the weeks and months ahead as we observe how each state will handle roll-out of the new laws.

Our sector-wide alert will continue indefinitely as the effects of the outcomes on the investment side of things materialize.


Potential Bottom Plays

MannKind Corp. MNKD – It’s been a long while since we’ve taken a look at MNKD, and we want to draw some attention to it this morning as a possible bottom play. It’s been in a general downtrend for the better part of four months, and looks like it could be in a good spot for a rebound from this juncture. We’ll reserve it a space on our radar moving forward.

Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. TEVA – The threat of a class-action lawsuit has produced a backslide in TEVA in recent sessions. It’s just the kind of consolidation on non-material developments that we’re always scanning for as course corrections can often occur following this type of activity, and sure enough, the stock appears to be rebounding in the premarket. To take advantage, we’re going to look to the TEVA Weekly $40.50-42.50 Calls.
