Options Recaps, 4 New Ideas

Quick Strike Plays Come Through: 

We’re anxiously counting down the days until next week when a flood of big name earnings are going to start dropping, but in the meantime, we have managed to root out a good amount of quality gain opportunities. Yesterday morning’s premarket report included two fresh possibilities and they both delivered some nice moves on the day.

Our exact targets were the PEP Weekly $167.50-172.50 Calls, and the ETWO Weekly $7.50 Puts. Both stocks recorded the right activity to enable the following upswings and total possible gain chances:

PEP Weekly $167.50-172.50 Calls
$167.50: 3.58-4.95 (+38%)
$170: 1.92-3.10 (+61%)
$172.50: .78-1.61 (+106%)

Options Success Continues: 

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we have been really sharp with our options calls recently. We never do poorly, but the magnitude of our recent successes has been huge, thanks to a strong market and tons of earnings reporters from which to choose our quick strike ideas.

Yesterday morning we selected four sets of ideas. They all produced, but we made an error on the BBBY $31-28 Puts, which were mistakenly listed in our report as Calls. So we’re going to skip over those and simply report on the other three winners which all produced big time intraday opportunities. The MAR Weekly $160-162.50 Calls, the VRTX Weekly $182.50-187.50 Calls, and the TMUS Weekly $117-120 Calls.

Here are the ranges and total possible gains on those plays for the day:

MAR Weekly $160-162.50 Calls
$160: 1.30-7.10 (+446%)
$162.50: .60-5.05 (+742)

CETV, PROW, TGRO, TSEM, ORMP, ARIA & Extended Watchlist

Central European Media Enterprises, Inc. CETV

We’ve been tracking CETV for quite some time now, having initially alerted the stock on May 10th following a routine Form-4 (Insider Trading) scan. We learned that a large block ($75M worth) of shares had just been purchased by none other than Time Warner, and took notice immediately. We observed the stock make a monster move of 147% before being subjected to a large gap-down (hit 52-week low @ 2.03) at the end of October.

We decided to re-alert the stock on November 13th, by which time it was trading as low as 2.12. Since then, it has been stair-stepping its way back up, having seen highs in the high 3.20’s last week. We’re looking for a breach of the 50 and 200DMA’s (3.48, 3.86 respectively), following which the filling of that large gap on the chart could result in further significant increases.

Progress Watch Corp. PROW

On Friday, we mentioned that we were looking for a break of a key resistance areat on PROW, the 200DMA residing in the .007’s, and the stock indeed surpassed and held above that mark into the close. After opening at .0065, PROW would see a subsequent high of .0098, an intraday run of 51% on more than 5x its 3mo. average volume.

We warned of PROW’s extremely tight share structure, which allows for significant increases on relatively small amounts of buying pressure. The stock demonstrated our point quite succinctly.

Tiger Oil & Energy, Inc. TGRO

Also appearing in Friday’s report was another of our recent favorites in TGRO, a stock which has afforded us ample opportunities in the two weeks that we’ve been tracking it. With our first alert coming exactly two weeks ago, the stock has run from a low .36, all the way up to 1.08, good for a mega-gain of 200%

For those who may have only caught Friday’s alert, there was still the chance to make up to 43% in profit from TGRO’s daily low of  .755 to the 1.08 high.

Extended Watchlist Winners

Friday’s Extended Watchlist also included a few choice picks that put up very respectable sessions to close out the week.

Tower Semiconductor Ltd. TSEM enjoyed a nice move of 26% trading in its daily range from 6.00 to 7.53.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ORMP spiked 36% running from 10.05 to 13.69.

ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ARIA has been an Extended Watchlist mainstay since Nov. 12th, being as low as 2.31. Friday’s high of 7.75 represents a great run of 236% in just a little over five weeks.
