Notice: We are just entering our next round of bullish positions that will take us into July and August. The July options have 57 days before expiration. The August options have 92 days before expiration starting at Thursday’s open.
Since March 10th, we have closed 12-straight winners and since February 5th, the portfolio is 18-2. Both of those losses were on an AT&T bullish play that didn’t pan out while the market was crashing in February and March.

We also have two older Alerts from that time frame that are still in play but are still struggling – VALE and BCRX. Both positions have teased us by holding support. Both have also been volatile due to earnings and one being biotech.

We have seen some of our previous Alerts over the years bounce back from being down -80%, or more, only to become profitable. AT&T was an example from this past January. Let’s watch these Alerts into next week before deciding if we should exit to save any remaining premium as the June options still have nearly a month before expiration.

Bank of America (BAC, $51.23, up $0.53)

Option: BAC July 55 calls
Expiration Date: July 17th, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.78 (5/20/2026)
Current Option Price: $0.80
Exit Target: $1.60
Return: 3%Stop Target: None

Action: The pop to $51.58 cleared lower resistance at $51.50-$51.75 but a level that held. Support is at $50.75-$50.50 and the 50-day moving average.
Closes above $51.75 and the 200-day moving average would be a bullish signal for a retest up to $53-$55 over the next 6-8 weeks. Of course, we are just looking for a 5%-8% continued gain in the stock over the next 2-3 weeks to hopefully get a double, or a triple-digit gain, with these call options.
We feel as though there could be some rotation into the Financial sector and away from Tech despite longer-term treasury yields clearing 5%. The charts for the Financial stocks have been improving and we like BAC’s setup and liquidity. Our last Alert in BAC from August banked a 238% win for our subscribers.



BlackBerry (BB, $6.20, down $0.01)
Option: BB July 8 calls
Expiration Date: July 17th, 2026
Current Option Price: 40 cents
Entry Option Price: $0.40 (5/18/2026)
Current Option Price: $0.35
Exit Target: $0.80Return: -13%
Stop Target: None

Action: Shares tested a high of $6.38 on Wednesday with lower resistance at $6.50-$6.75 easily holding. Support is at $6-$5.75.
There is breakout potential to $7-$8 over the near-term. However, if this is a real turnaround story, we wouldn’t be surprised to see shares trade into double-digits this year.

Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN, $18.42, down $0.32)

Option: CORN August 22 calls
Expiration Date: August 21st, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.38 (5/13/2026)
Current Option Price: $0.30Exit Target: $0.80
Return: -21%Stop Target: None

Action: Upper support at $18.50-$18.25 and the 50-day moving average failed to hold on the fade to $18.32. Resistance is at $18.75 following the double-top breakdown at $19.13.

Closes above $19.75 gets the next wave of resistance at $20.75 in focus. This area represents a major resistance from February 2025. If cleared, CORN could run to the mid-$20’s. The August options have 92 days before expiration and why we went longer-term with this position.

Vale S.A. (VALE, $16.35, up $0.34)
Option: VALE June 19 calls
Expiration Date: June 18th, 2026
Entry Option Price: $0.55 (4/20/2026)

BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX, $8.74, down $0.03)

Entry Option Price: $0.53 (3/24/2026)
Current Option Price: $0.25

Action: Key resistance is at $9. Support is at $8.50-$8 due to the recent volatility. This could mean pending news is coming out.
