OTC Recap – Verus International, Inc. VRUS:

We try to keep up with the many stocks we tag in our daily extended watchlists as much as possible. It is a feature we have kept since our pre-options trading days because it often yields solid plays. Such was the case with VRUS this month, which, after first appearing in our reports on June 2nd, has run from super-subpenny well into subpenny territory. We’ve seen an increase from a low of .0005 on up to .0019, which marks a rise of 280%

Good Environment for Options: 

We’re wrapping up another solid trading week today, and it certainly was an uncharacteristically bullish one when compared to the typical holiday-shortened week. The markets ripped into the close again yesterday, and that provided an extra boost for some of the options plays we’ve been tracking.

From yesterday morning’s report, the DRI 07/15 $120-125 Calls and the KBH 07/15 $27-28 Calls made instant moves for us despite still having an additional three weeks before expiring, while the WGO 07/15 $45-50 Calls from Wednesday’s premarket newsletter continued their run and tacked on some new highs as well. Here are the overall moves and total possible gains on those targets:

DRI 07/15 $120-125 Calls
$120: 1.85-2.40 (+30%)

Friday’s Big Winners, Fresh Ideas & More

Solid Options Runners: 

To close things out for the short week on Friday, we had a pair of quick-strike options ideas in the LULU and OKTA chains, as well as a longer term target for ASAN in our premarket report. Despite a rather subdued session for the markets in general wherein we saw a gap-down in the morning, and not much progress toward a recovery throughout the day, we were still able to manage some very nice gain chances.

Our specific areas of interest for the day were the LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls, the OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls, and the ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts. Both sets of calls produced multi-bag profit possibilities on the day, with ASAN not lagging far behind. We’ve also got a week and change before they expire, so we’ll continue to monitor those as well. As for Friday’s moves, here’s what these ideas put forth for the session:

LULU Weekly $300-307.50 Calls
$300:
 2.55-7.35 (+188%)
$302.50: 2.00-5.60 (+180%)
$305: 1.41-4.50 (+219%)
$307.50: .94-3.40 (+262%)
_____

OKTA Weekly $106-108 Calls
$106: 1.16-2.87 (+147%)
$107: .84-2.05 (+144%)
$108: .48-1.39 (+190%)
_____

ASAN 06/17 $22.50 Puts
$22.50: 1.82-2.90 (+59%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

We are heading into an extended dry spell with regard to the number of big name companies dropping their earnings reports, which is going to persist for the next several weeks. We’re used to traversing these periodic ‘earnings deserts’, and as always, we’ll still be working hard every day to find the best opportunities possible, which for us, generally includes a heavy reliance on the SPY- our favorite market analog.

SPY 06/06 $413-415 Calls 
FUTU Weekly $38.50-40 Calls
QDEL 07/15 $85-95 Calls
