Ford Motor Co. (F) – On the heels of the revelation that Ford had set revenue records and beat earning expectations for Q2, we saw the chance to leverage the resultant action on the chart to our great advantage. The range of contracts that we flagged for observation was the F Weekly $14.50 and $15 Calls. As the $15’s fell just shy of being pushed into the money, the main thrust of the action was in the $14.50’s. Those contracts went big, with a surge from a low of .18 all the way up to .42; an intraday spike of 133% We’ll be on the lookout for potential dip-and-rip scenarios in Ford to create the possibility of further opportunities as the week wears on.

Pfizer, Inc. PFE – it was also a beat on earnings that propelled our PFE ideas to substantial intraday gains. Our specific area of interest were the PFE Weekly $34.50 and $35 Calls. The $34.50’s made an impressive move from .26-.88 for total possible gains of 238% and the $35’s really performed with a monster 410% run from .10-.51!

Baidu, Inc. BIDU – In a departure from our standard options M.O., we identified a chance to play some Puts as BIDU was taking an absolute shellacking after its own earnings missed the mark. The downfall continued throughout the session, and fueled the success of our observed contracts, which were the BIDU Weekly Puts in the $180-175 Range. The trading ranges and maximum gains on all three sets of contracts were as follows:
$180 Calls – Daily Range: 8.00-18.05 – Max Gain: 126%
$177.50 Calls – Daily Range: 5.20- 14.90 – Max Gain: 187%
$175 Calls – Daily Range: 3.88-13.10 – Max Gain: 238%
