Bullish Options Traders Turn to Pfizer to Cure Bear Market Blues

by | Mar 14, 2022 | Options

In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at pharmaceutical giant Pfizer after new lockdown headlines spread through the media.

We may be done with the omicron variant but by the looks of news coming out of China, it’s not quite done with us.

The People’s Republic is experiencing its largest outbreak since the early days of the pandemic. More than 10,000 cases of omicron have been reported since the start of March. The spike in cases pushed officials to lockdown two major cities, including Shenzhen, a big tech hub.

The news sparked a rally in several of the coronavirus plays including top vaccine name Pfizer. PFE saw shares jump more than 4% Monday while the Blitz Tracker spotted one institutional buyer scoop up more than 3,800 contracts of the March 18, $53 strike calls for around $120,000 in premium!

Of course, if you’re sick of trading pharma names, I have other top trades waiting below…

  • Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE): March 18 $53 CALL. 
  • Moderna Inc. (Nasdaq: MRNA): April 22 $220 CALL.
  • Coupang Inc. (NYSE: CPNG): March 18 $17 CALL.
  • NortonLifeLock Inc. (Nasdaq: NLOK): March 18 $28 CALL.

A friend of mine sent me this chart about three months ago. I should probably print it and keep it in my wallet next to a photo of my daughter. Given the sheer number of questions I’ve fielded lately, I’ll probably end up showing this chart more than her picture.
