Clovis Oncology (CLVS) is making major headlines today after falling 72% or $71.80. But what we’re seeing is a major overreaction to news the FDA is requested further information for efficacy analysis in drugs for the treatment of EGFR T790M-positive lung cancer....

Using an entry price of $2.10 on the Pandora (P) January 2016 12 call – recommended on November 2 – we’re now looking at a gain of about 60%, excluding commissions. Hold the second half a bit longer. There’s still a massive bearish gap to refill at $19 at some point....

It shouldn’t be this easy to make this much money… The other day, we recommended closing half of the Philip Morris (PM) November 95 puts and December 92.50 puts for gains of more than 280%. Today, we want you to close the second halves, as time decay begins to eat...

On October 14, 2015, I recommended a buy on the PM November 95 put [$2.30 entry price] and the PM December 92.50 put [entry price of $1.85] as the stock started to become a bit over-extended to the upside. While we were a bit early buying those puts, the stock has...

I’ve been recommending ACADIA for years, first jumping in around $20 a share. Today, on news the FDA granted priority review, it’s up $5 on the day. But upside is far from over. In fact, what this company is offering is a game changer for the Parkinson’s disease...

Patience pays off quite well… Disney (DIS) has had one heck of a run off its lows… After buying the stock at $108, and the January 115 calls at $4, we’re now looking at gains on both trades. The stock last traded at $115.20. Sell. The calls last traded at $4.75. Sell...

Well… that was easy. On Tuesday, I issued a buy on ABBV after it was destroyed on overreaction. We picked up the underlying stock around $52.50. And we picked up the ABBV January 52.50 calls around $3.20, as well. Today, the stock gapped up to an intra-day high of...

On September 27, I recommended a buy on the Rite Aid (RAD) January 2016 7 call up to 80 cents. Hearing that some of you bought at just 50 cents, you’ll be happy to know that the call last traded at $1.85. That’s a gain of 270% in less than a month. That gain is thanks...
