Earlier this week, shares of Chimerix (CMRX) dove more than 80% on news that a late-stage trial of an anti-viral to prevent infections in blood and marrow transplants fell short of expectations. While many viewed this as dead stock, that may not be the case, as Steve...

Unaware of what may happen this week with the Fed, we’re opting to sell to close the second halves of the DIA January 176 put and the Disney January 110 put for solid gains. We’re also still holding the newly issued solar put trades. As for new trading opportunities,...

I’ve got good news and bad news… The bad news is that the Dow Jones is down another 300 points on the day, as oil sinks to historic lows on oversupply warnings. The good news – we hold puts on the Dow Jones (DIA), as well as on Disney (DIS). Yep, on November 30, we...

Even with Star Wars hitting theatres in the next three weeks, share of Disney aren’t looking so hot, failing miserably at double top resistance. While the stock had a nice run off $90 low to test $120, the party is ending – at least, near-term. MACD, MFI and RSI are...

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...

There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that our Weight Watchers (WTW) trade idea was a flop. You can either exit it here or allow it to expire. The good news is that our Morgan Stanley (MS) January 2016 32 call has nearly doubled. Sell to close half of the...

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...

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...

I think it’s great that Oprah Winfrey took a 10% stake in Weight Watchers… The company – 75% off its highs – needed the news. But it’ll take more than the Oprah Effect to keep this stock moving higher. Poor sales, increased competition, and new weight tools could...
