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%)

HUGE Stock Runners & More

Majic Wheels Corp. MJWL – Review:

The first thing we want to do this morning is review the recent activity in MJWL, a stock that we initially targeted as a subpenny play in our report on the morning of May 13th. The low following that alert was .0094, the stock began to run, and it hasn’t looked back.

Following another of what has been innumerable new highs since then MJWL cracked TWENTY cents, with shares changing hands for as much as .221. From our observed low of six weeks ago, that works out to an overall increase of 2251%, making it our hottest OTC play of the year so far.


Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Review:

Speaking of impressive stock runs, MRIN is a NASDAQ play that we began tracking in our report on the morning of June 24th. It isn’t often that we see such intense PPS gains in the higher cap stocks over such a short period, but in this current market anything is possible, and MRIN’s run has been impressive.

On the morning of our intial alert the stock was as low as 2.56. After nearly a week of big sessions, yesterday’s took the cake as MRIN soared to a new high of 18.82. That works out to a four-session swing and total potential gains of 635%

Another Fruitful Options Trading Week on the Books

Options Round-Up:

We try extremely hard on a regular basis to search for, and point out, options trading ideas that we think may have a chance to be successful plays for our readers. It has become the primary focus of our typical daily activities, and for good reason. We excel at it more often than not, and despite going through a period with a relatively meager earnings calendar, we have still managed to keep things going on that front.

Yesterday we formulated a four-pack of fresh options targets and three of those turned in some very nice gain chances for the day. Our winning picks were the CCIV Weekly $25-26 Calls, the DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls, and the EXPI 07/16 $40 Calls.

Here were the intraday moves and total possible profit chances they attained:

CCIV Weekly $25-26 Calls
$25: .57-1.36 (+139%)
$26: .22-.66 (+200%)
_____

DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls
$140: 2.71-4.30 (+59%)

EXPI 07/16 $40 Calls
$40: 1.85-2.65 (+43%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
