LegalZoom (LZ, $7.66, up $0.33)
Option: LZ March 11 calls
Expiration Date: March 20th, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.30 (2/2/2026)
Current Option Price: $0.20
Exit Target: $0.60
Return: -33%
Stop Target: None
Action: Fresh resistance at $7.75-$8 with Wednesday’s peak at $7.73. Shaky support is at $7.
Shares sank nearly 20% the day after this alert and sometimes that can happen. The stock is being added to the S&P 600 so we do expect a major rebound on this news as mutual fund managers will be buying. Earnings could also move shares 20%-30% later this month.
Viavi Solutions (VIAV, $24.50, down $1.38)
Option: VIAV February 24 calls
Expiration Date: February 20th, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.35 (1/27/2026)
Current Option Price: $1.20 (closed half on 1/28 at $0.70)
Exit Target: $3
Return: 271%
Stop Target: $1.90 (Stop Limit)
Action: The calls reached a high of $3 on the stock’s surge to $26.84 before quickly fading and tripping the Stop Limit. We wanted to close the other half and send an alert but it was too quick to take action. We should have also set a Limit Order but we didn’t list one.
We will keep shares on our Watch List as a multi-year breakout remains in play.
KeyCorp (KEY, $22.65, up $0.31)
Option: KEY March 23 calls
Expiration Date: March 20th, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.35 (1/22/2026)
Current Option Price: $0.49
Exit Target: $0.70
Return: 40%
Stop Target: 36 cents, raise to 45 cents (Stop Limit)
Action: Raise the Stop Limit at 36 cents to 45 cents to further protect profits.
Wednesday’s peak reached $22.91 with our new price targets at $22.50-$24 getting introduced and holding. Support is at $22.25-$22.
We have a mid-March price target of $24 for the stock. If reached, the calls will be at least $1.00 in-the-money. If shares pull back and drop below $22, the Stop Limit will likely trip to take the emotion out of exiting.
Match Group (MTCH, $30.61, up $1.71)
Option: MTCH February 27.50 puts
Expiration Date: February 20th, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.40 (1/13/2026)
Current Option Price: $0.20
Exit Target: $0.80
Return: -30%
Stop Target: 42 cents (Stop Limit)
Action: The calls opened at 22 cents with the high at 28 cents. We said to exit if shares cleared $30.50 so we are on the sidelines. While disappointed in the loss and volatility, we can also keep shares on the Watch List as a future candidate again down the road.
