Extended-Term Options Plays Paying Off

Reviewing Winning Ideas: 

We typically focus more on options expiring at the end of a given week, there are certainly occasions when we target those with expiration dates weeks, or sometimes even months into the future. Which way it falls is often determined by the setup and conditions in which we find a play.

Today, we’re going to go over the recent moves made by a few of the longer-term options ideas to grace our watchlist recently. We signaled the DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls in our report last Thursday morning, June 24th, and just a few sessions prior on the morning of the 21st we alerted the TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls and the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls.

Take a look at the fantastic multi-bag upswings that we’ve witnessed in the short time we’ve been tracking these options:

DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls
$140: 2.71-8.65 (+219%)
145: 1.10-4.60 (+318%)

TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls
$17.50: 2.88-10.15 (+252%)
$20: 1.65-8.40 (+409%)

Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Recap:

Like a couple of the above-mentioned plays, we signaled MRIN in our report on the morning of June 24th on the basis of the stock alone. We didn’t even need options to leverage with this play as it has continued to soar to new highs.

Yesterday MRIN hit 21.68, which from our observed low of 2.56 registers as an increase 747% of in just a week’s time for this NASDAQ-listed stock!

New SPY Highs, Fresh Ideas

Record SPY Performance Drives Gainers: 

Here we are kicking off yet another trading week filled with moneymaking possibilities! Last week was impeccable in terms of the accuracy of our options ideas. A vast majority of the targets we’ve been establishing daily have posted gains ranging from fair to eye-opening.

Friday morning’s premarket report was no exception. In fact, thanks to the SPY hitting fresh all time highs, one of those gainers was among the best we’ve unearthed so far in the month of June. Our targets were the SPY 06/11 $422.50-424 Calls and the PLAY Weekly $45-46.50 Calls. The PLAY calls made respectable runs early on in the session, while the SPY delivered a huge day, including a 2100% intraday runner!

Big-Time Options Scores, Fresh Ideas

Clean Sweep on Daily Options Ideas: 

It’s a simple truth that no one can be right on every hunch every time, so when we formulate a large group of quick-strike ideas, it’s always nice when we can hit on each and every play.

Such was the case with yesterday morning’s premarket report, in which we offered our ideas on four separate options chains. We went four for four with the DKS Weekly $88-91 Calls, the URBN Weekly $37-39 Calls, the ANF Weekly $39-40.50 Calls, and the SPY 05/26 $418-420 Calls. All the way down the line, we saw significant intraday runs.

Retail Earnings Opportunities

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc. CBRL – Recap: 

This morning we’re updating readers on the fresh options idea from yesterday. Just to give a heads up, this idea appeared in our report yesterday as Weekly calls, which was in error. The next expiration date on any existing CBRL options is June 18th, so we’re talking about the CBRL 06/18 $155-165 Calls.

Those fared quite well on the day despite three weeks remaining until their expiry. Here are the intraday gains they recorded:

CBRL 06/18 $155-165 Calls 
$155: 4.40-6.68 (+52%)
$160: 2.45-4.40 (+80%)
$165: 1.25-2.40 (+92%)

Based on premarket activity this morning, it appears as if CBRL may be preparing to gap up, and as a result we may see further advances in these contract sets. We’re going to want to continue to monitor their activity into June 18th.


Fresh Options Ideas:

Despite a general decrease in the number of daily earnings reporters, we’ve got a fair few retail giants dropping figures this morning, and we’ll venture a target for the SPY as well.

URBN Weekly $37-39 Calls
ANF Weekly $39-40.50 Calls
DKS Weekly $88-91 Calls 

SPY 05/26 $418-420 Calls
