Five Fresh Plays to Close Out a Good Week

Solid Options Runners from Thursday:

While we didn’t quite get a clean sweep on our earnings related options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, we did manage to find some fairly big runners in three out of the five selections we made for the day. The SPY Calls stood out, with the markets logging a seriously bullish session all day long, which facilitated some solid double bag runs, but the ideas we had in SNOW were the real winners.

The quick-strike targets that really produced for us were the SPY 08/26 $413-415 Calls, the SNOW Weekly $187.50-192.50 Calls, and the DLTR Weekly $155-150 Puts, which recorded the following intraday activity:

SPY 08/26 $413-415 Calls
$413: 
3.55-7.20 (+103%)

Options Keep Winning, New Ideas

Options Review: 

In yesterday morning’s report, we followed up Friday’s flawless options interests with another clean sweep of our board. The first half of the session featured quite a bit of volatility for the markets as a whole, allowing for some pretty nice intraday swings for our designated options targets. NKE and TCOM ran into their post-market earnings. NKE beat on earnings but slipped on sales, while TCOM looks in good shape after China loosened its COVID travel restrictions. We’ll be monitoring those closely today again.

The plays we signaled interest in tracking yesterday were the NKE Weekly $113-115 Calls, the TCOM 07/15 $24-26 Calls, and the SPY 06/27 $389-391 Calls. All of those experienced noteworthy moves, and additionally, the DRI 07/15 $120-125 Calls that we flagged this past Thursday also extended its run and posted new highs, which you’ll find below. The overall moves and total possible profits so far on those plays amount to the following:

NKE Weekly $113-115 Calls
$113:
 3.00-3.80 (+27%)
