Five Fresh Ideas to Start the Week

Friday’s Options Movers:

We put an excellent cap on last week, finishing up on Friday morning with a trio of options ideas in our premarket report.

Those plays were the SPY 07/15 $379-382.50 Calls, the UNH Weekly $507.50-515 Calls, and the PINS Weekly $19-20.50 Calls.The success ran all the way across the board, with only one of the thirteen individual contract sets in our designated ranges falling just shy of multi-bag territory.

We have never purported to be perfect when it comes to unearthing potential plays on a daily basis. Nobody can win them all, but we certainly come as close as humanly possible as often as we can.

SPY Calls Break Out, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps: 

On the options trading front, we are making our way through the earnings drought as best we can recently, and doing a fairly good job of it if we say so ourselves. We’re in for another week-plus of this, with the days of having plenty of earnings reporters on the calendar set to return on Monday the 18th.

For now, we’ll keep plugging away and taking whatever we can get, and for yesterday’s report that came in the form of the SPY 07/06 $380-382 Calls which absolutely ripped, and the RFP 07/15 $17.50-20 Calls. Additionally, we’ve got some new highs to report in the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls which we alerted on last Wednesday.

SPY 07/06 $380-382 Calls
$380: 1.45-5.92 (+308%)
$381: 1.05-4.85 (+362%)

OTC Updates: 

We have a couple of OTC stocks that have been mentioned in recent extended watchlists to update readers on this morning as well. We always try to flag potential plays on the lower exchanges in our watchlists, and very often, it bears significant fruit.

We mentioned HMBL on Tuesday morning and the stock has posted an intraweek run from .048-.0992 which marks an upswing of 107%, and this past Thursday we signaled EMGE which has made a rip-roaring move of 273% from .0082-.0306 in just a week’s time.

Multiple Options Updates, Fresh Ideas

Options Trading Updates: 

A lot of the potential options targets we’ve been signaling for observation lately have had a July 15th expiration date, which is a slight departure from our typical targeting of weekly contracts. It has made sense in the current choppy climate being cause by a seemingly constant ebb and flow of recession concerns.

So this morning in addition to providing the moves made by the lone idea in yesterday’s report, the KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls, we’ll provide updates on a number of other still-active plays we’ve been tracking that are getting along quite nicely. Those are the KBH 07/15 $27-28 Calls, the WGO 07/15 $45-50 Calls, and the NFLX 07/22 $185-190 Calls. We called those on June 23rd, June 22nd and July 1st, respectively. Here are the total gains that have been possible with those plays over that time frames:

KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls 
$125: 15.00-19.00 (+27%)
$130: 11.67-17.24 (+48%)

KBH 07/15 $27-28 Calls
$27: 1.75-3.65 (+109%)
