Sasol SSL Call Options June

Sasol SSL Website

Seems like Sasol SSL chart became very compressed, also daily volume has been going on for last 12 days below 5 million shares a day, even on a days when stock lost more than 12% and went below $4.00 a share.
I think, SSL will start to move up pretty soon.
I am long another 10 contracts on June 19th @$7.50 at $10 per contract for total $100.

Upwork UPWK Company I like, Call Options



Upwork's Website

First time in a while I found company with great growth potential and fair valuation. Probably I wouldn't notice UPWK as a stock worth interest, if not for high volume day and substantial jump in price, because, usually I don't look for companies with valuations over 1 P/S. So I checked fundamentals, and I realized UPWK has market cap of less than 1.5 billion which is very unusual in technology sector, it doesn't make any profit, has revenue growth +20%, that's still nothing special to get excited about, until you read some more to find that Upwork is a leader in the field of remote hiring, it has been around since 1999, much longer than any competitor and has new CEO (Hayden Brown) in place with vision to execute growth at higher rate, possibly at +50% pace.
So, the very next day I bought 2 call contracts with expiration June 19th and strike $12.5 at average price $1.55 per contract. Now, let's hope that Upwork continues on it's uptrend to make me some money :)

ADM is ready to bounce up


ADM - Archer Daniels Midland Co. is one of world's major traders in agricultural commodities. It's a stable company with good valuation and solid dividends not like some tech high flyers with outrageous P/S, propelled  to the upside mostly by hype, short squeezes and institutional buying.
Also, what I like about AMD it's high liquidity of options.
On 05/07/2020, Thursday, I went long on May 22nd $36.5 strike call options with average price $40 per contract after I realized that this stock short term oversold below $35 and is ready to bounce to the upside and hopefully start it's bull run toward ex-dividend date which is on 5/19/2020 . 
My risk is pretty low and limited, even if I will be wrong with my prediction, but if I am right, reward could be substantial in range of 100-300 % or even more, if ADM "decides" to go on "rocket ride" for some reason, like interest from institutional buyers ...?

Stock Watch List Cabot Imdustries CBT

https://www.cabotcorp.com/

Cabot Industries (CBT)
Solid chemical company with local manufacturing plants allover the world, it is trading around 0.5 P/S,
It's debt is around 1 billion dollars, 
yearly sales are about 3.2 billion,
outstanding shares 56.68  Million
short interest around 1.3 %

CBT options are thinly traded, but could be worth the risk to open long position for earnings and dividends towards end of May ? or buy the stock out right and sell covered calls ?
The other way to make money is to sell out of the money puts for premium.

Question: How badly sales will be affected by Covid 19 in next Q's ?
