A Perfect Friday, New Plays for Today

Friday’s Clean Sweep :

We closed out last week’s activity with a stellar performance on Friday, as we signaled four possible options plays in our premarket report, and each of them turned out a very nice performance. We had a burst of earnings reporters to work with just shy of the next earnings season which should be ramped up and ready for us to take advantage of by next week. We’re back to a very thin list this morning, but we’ll still figure out some high potential targets like always.

As for Friday’s runners which brought us opportunities across the board, we had the JPM Weekly $146-147 Calls the WFC Weekly $39.50-40.50 Calls, the SGH 10/20 $20-17.50 Puts, and the PGR 10/20 $150 Calls. Here were the intraday moves they posted:

Recent Options Movers & More

Recent Runners:

With no earnings plays to work with, it was a pretty rough outing yesterday to kick off the week. We didn’t see immediate chances for returns on the few options ideas we selected, leaving us in anticipation of another earnings season to begin its return next week. We’ll keep the plays we highlighted yesterday on the radar as always, but for this morning’s report, we’ll just focus on some other longer-term ideas we recently formulated, and the progress they’ve managed since then.

We flagged the EVGO 08/18 $4-5 Calls last Monday the 3rd, and the SNOW 08/04 $170-165 Puts we signaled on Friday morning, and have seen some reasonably solid swings from them.

EVGO 08/18 $4-5 Calls
$4: 
1.40-2.39 (+95%)
$5: .04-.10 (+150%)
_____

SNOW 08/04 $170-165 Puts
$170: 
6.98-12.52 (+79%)
$165: 5.19-9.70 (+87%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

INTU Weekly $460-465 Calls
WDFC 07/21 $200-210 Calls
PSMT 07/21 $75 Puts

*Trading options contracts on their day of expiration should only be attempted by experienced traders


T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO)

We’ve also seen quite an impressive multibag run from TTOO, which we began tracking in our report from the morning of June 22nd. Over these past few weeks we’ve witnessed the stock rise from a low of .066 to as much as .1894 in the premarket this morning. That works out to a gain of 187%

Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, Fresh Ideas

SPY Calls Surge on Market Pop:

We had just some daily SPY Calls and a longer term idea in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the latter of which isn’t really primed for an immediate update, but we most certainly came down on the right side of the fence with the SPY. The markets ripped all day long, and provided us with the catalyst for some really nice intraday gain opportunities.

We were tracking the SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls, and all three of the contract sets contained within recorded huge multibag runs for us. The total possible daily gains were as follows:

SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls
$391:
 2.04-6.82 (+234%)
$392: 1.58-5.81 (+268%)
$393: 1.19-5.05 (+324%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls
WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls
ZM Weekly $91.50-93 Calls


Watchlist Runners:

We saw some solid movement out of some of the plays off of yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. CBIO ran following the announcement of a $60M asset sale to Vertex, while GOVX was another stock boosted by the rising concerns over monkeypox, which has officially made its way to the US, and seems to a hot-button catalyst for related plays at the moment. .

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. CBIO
Daily Range:
.90-1.47
Gained: +63%

GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX
Daily Range: 1.65-2.85

Huge Day for Options on Friday, 4-Pack of Fresh Plays

Massive Gainers From Friday’s Report: 

It was a choppy day for the markets in general on Friday, but that didn’t stop our trio of options ideas for the day from putting on a banner performance. Every single contract set that we selected for observation in our morning report yielded the opportunity at some fantastic intraday gains. Typically, increased volatility is an options traders friend, provided you have a feel for when to dip in and out, which comes with time and experience.

The targets we were monitoring were the , the, and the , and as you can see from the daily ranges and total upswings, these were no mild runners. The earnings calendar for today isn’t quite as substantial, but we still hashed out a four-pack of new ideas below.
