Among the trading ideas this week that were most popular among readers, there were five that stood out:
1. Shares of
Rite Aid CorpRAD climbed $0.40 (5 percent) to $8.28 in Wednesday's session. The previous couple of days had witnessed a large amount of call buying in the issue. A
possible reason for the spike could be that market-makers were "hedging their bets by purchasing the shares in the open market to offset their negative position in the issue," said Joel Elconin, the co-host of Benzinga's #PreMarket Prep.
2.
Facebook IncFB shares spiked $1.67 (92 percent) to $82.58 in Thursday's session. This new all-time high
may have been driven by the positive comments from JP Morgan and Nomura about the company's new Payment feature.
3. Shares of
Gilead Sciences, Inc to $99.84 in Wednesday's session. The pressure was not driven by any relevant news related to the company.
