Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, Fresh Ideas

SPY Calls Surge on Market Pop:

We had just some daily SPY Calls and a longer term idea in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the latter of which isn’t really primed for an immediate update, but we most certainly came down on the right side of the fence with the SPY. The markets ripped all day long, and provided us with the catalyst for some really nice intraday gain opportunities.

We were tracking the SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls, and all three of the contract sets contained within recorded huge multibag runs for us. The total possible daily gains were as follows:

SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls
$391:
 2.04-6.82 (+234%)
$392: 1.58-5.81 (+268%)
$393: 1.19-5.05 (+324%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls
WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls
ZM Weekly $91.50-93 Calls


Watchlist Runners:

We saw some solid movement out of some of the plays off of yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. CBIO ran following the announcement of a $60M asset sale to Vertex, while GOVX was another stock boosted by the rising concerns over monkeypox, which has officially made its way to the US, and seems to a hot-button catalyst for related plays at the moment. .

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. CBIO
Daily Range:
.90-1.47
Gained: +63%

GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX
Daily Range: 1.65-2.85

Stock and Options Updates, Fresh Ideas

Paltalk, Inc. PALT – Recap: 

We want to track back slightly this morning to talk about the alerts we posted on PALT last week. We didn’t get a chance to highlight the stock’s performance in our packed Friday newsletter, so we’re going to outline the moves it made as we kick off a fresh trading week today.

Our initial flag of PALT came on Monday morning, at which time the stock was trading for as little as 4.39 a share. PALT subsequently made a dramatic run to a high of 15.20, which marks a total possible gain of 246% for anyone who was along for the ride.


Zoom Video Communications, Inc. ZM – Options Review:

We offered up exactly one quick-strike options idea on Friday morning, with the ZM Weekly $265-272.50 Calls, and we’re pleased to report that not only did those contracts post multi-bag gains on the day, but i one set even breached into thousand-percent-gainer territory on the day!

Regardless of which strike point was chosen, massive gains were there for the taking as a result of our alert. Here were those intraday moves and total possible profits:

ZM Weekly $265-272.50 Calls
$265:
 1.30-6.30 (+384%)
$267.50: .63-4.00 (+534%)

Big Time Stock and Options Rippers

More OTC Runners: 

As we were just mentioning yesterday morning, we’ve spun a relatively dry earnings period into a positive by searching out pure stock plays to supplement our content. The OTC Markets is where our story began and it’s always nice to be able to fall back on penny stocks in a pinch.

Not only that, but the OTC is about to get a lot more comprehensive and a lot less speculative, with the governing body’s move to require current filings for all listed securities, with all in non-compliance getting booted down to the Grey Sheets. It’s a very exciting time for OTC stocks and here are couple of the ones we’ve tracked to big moves this week.

Nano Mobile Healthcare, Inc. VNTH
Initial Alert:
 Aug.10th
Range:.0006-.0071
Gained: +1083%
_____

JZZ Technologies, Inc. JZZI
Initial Alert:
 Sept.17th
Range:.0071-.0192
Gained: +170%


CarMax, Inc. KMX – Options Recap:

The clear winner from yesterday’s report on the options side of things came by way of our bearish KMX targets. We had signaled interest in the KMX Weekly $139-135 Puts and with the help of a major down day for the stock, those ideas swept the board with multibag intraday runs.

Here are the total possible gains available yesterday to anyone who latched onto our KMX alert:

KMX Weekly $139-135 Puts
$139: 4.14-10.30 (+149%)
$138: .3.50-9.36 (+167%)
$137: 2.62-8.05 (+207%)
$136: 2.38-6.95 (+192%)
$135: 1.72-7.00 (+307%)
