A Winning Wednesday, 5 Fresh Picks

Wednesday’s Winners:

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we placed a trio of potential options trading ideas on watch, and were pleased with the intraday performances on all three of them. Generally, we don’t often miss on our quick-strike (weekly expiration) ideas. We like to occasionally mix in longer-term swing trade ideas that may take awhile to come to fruition, but our strongest suit is definitely ID’ing plays for ‘today’ on any given day.

Yesterday’s plays were the PDD Weekly $149-152.50 Calls, the GIS Weekly $71-72 Calls, and the INTC Weekly $42.50-43.50 Calls, and all three sets of calls fared rather well. Here were the performances they laid down:

Big Wins Friday, 4-Pack of Fresh Picks

A Furious Friday of Gainers:

We were able to close out the trading week on Friday without adding to the total count of exactly ONE pick we missed on all week! All five of the potential options plays we included in Friday morning’s premarket report produced big time single session gain opportunities.

Continued Options Trading Excellence

A Mistake Free Wednesday: 

We offered up a set of four possible options trading ideas in our premarket report for yesterday morning, all of which went to the bullish side of the street. Thanks in part to a strong session for the markets in general, we scored another clean sweep, with every target we designated for observation logging  significant movement and opportunities for traders.

Our interests for the day were the KBH 01/20 $34-35 Calls, the SPY 01/11 $391-392 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $120-122 Calls, and the BBBY Weekly $2.50 Calls. As we said, they all went for nice daily runs, and in the case of Bed Bath & Beyond, even a play on the stock itself was a possibility as it traded up from 2.41 and went on to hit a high of 4.50 (+87%). Here’s how those options plays shook out for the session:

KBH 01/20 $34-35 Calls
$34:

AXSM Runner, Options Ideas

Axsome Therapeutics, Inc. AXSM 

We’ve got a major recent success story to tell with AXSM today. We highlighted this stock roughly seven weeks ago in our report on October 16th, and AXSM has done very little else but continue to press upward, setting new highs on a practically daily basis.

We would tag in yesterday’s report once again before seeing the stock attain new highs for the umpteenth time in recent weeks.  Our observed low following our initial alert is 20.48, and as of yesterday’s brand new high of 47.24, that marks a fantastic swing of 131% There’s no telling where this wild ride will let off, with the stock having already been firmly in Blue Sky territory for well over a week now.


Fresh Options Ideas

Workday Inc. WDAY reported on earnings in the post-market yesterday, and despite a beat on sales and earnings, the company’s forecast precipitated a shakedown of the stock. We’re going to sit on the bearish side of the fence and monitor to the WDAY Weekly $167.50-165 Puts

Excelon Corp. EXC is simply a double-bottom, potential extended-term rebound idea that we want to offer up. We’re going to begin tracking the EXC 02/21 $45-47 Calls, with the stock looking due for a recovery at any time.

Solid Stock and Options Calls

Myovant Sciences Ltd. MYOV

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we included MYOV in our Extended Watchlist for the day. It was a stroke of perfect timing, as it would end up the day’s top traded play on the NASDAQ.

The stock had been trading in a lackluster fashion for an extended time period, but the company’s revelation of completed prostate cancer treatment trials and plans to submit to the FDA, helped generate some really nice activity in the stock that is spilling over into the premarket today.

We’ve seen two distinct swings thus far, with MYOV first running from 12.64-17.16 (+36%) yesterday, before pulling back to 10.37. In the premarket this morning it has surged back to 15.31, a 48% upswing. We’ll be eager to continue tracking this interesting activity.



Kohls Corp. KSS

We also had a range of bearish options ideas in the Kohl’s chain in yesterday morning’s newsletters, and thanks to a poor showing on earnings, we saw deep decline in KSS stock despite the fact that we are headed into the thick of retail season.

Our ideas were the Kohls Corp. KSS Weekly $53.50-51 Puts, which put forth the following gain opportunities on the day:

$53 Calls – Range: 3.07-5.92 – Max Gain: 93%
$52.50 Calls – Range: 2.80-5.30 – Max Gain: 89%
$52 Calls – Range: 2.64-5.00  – Max Gain: 89%
$51.50 Calls – Range: 2.10-4.30 – Max Gain: 105%
$51 Calls – Range: 1.80-4.00  – Max Gain: 122%
