Sell Remainder of Existing Position: Sell Your CCJ March 40 Calls for $6.20 or more.
Having flirted with our CCJ mental stop several times in the last week, today the stock and our calls have broken through our pre-determined levels. Because of that, we are going to sell the balance of our trade for a profit of approximately 40%.

Buy the Cameco (CCJ) March 40 Calls (exp. 3/15/2024) for $5 or less.
Cameco (CCJ) and all uranium plays have been on a steady run higher for the past several months. And yesterday as the sector continued its breakout, traders again piled into calls looking for more upside. Here are those trades:
Buyer of 20,000 Cameco (CCJ) October 42 Calls for $0.69 – Stock at 39 (uranium play)
Buyer of 11,000 Nexgen Energy (NXE) February 8 Calls for $0.35 – Stock at 6 (uranium play)
Buyer of 3,500 Uranium ETF (URA) April 30 Calls for $1.50 – Stock at 25.5 (uranium play)
Let’s get involved with a CCJ March call position that is, in my opinion, very inexpensive given the momentum and potential for an explosive move higher.
To execute this trade you need to:

The most you can lose on this trade is the premium paid, or $500 per call purchased.
The risks I see in this trade are general market risk, as well as the possibility that we are top ticking the sector. And let me be clear, there is real risk as commodity-related plays can get red hot, and then ice cold, very quickly.
That being said, I really like this option activity yesterday, as well as the inexpensive price of the March 40 call, and am going to add CCJ to the portfolio today.
