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. .

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.
