Earnings Related Options Ideas

Options Roundup 

We are back in the options trading saddle this morning, with the earnings calendar chock full once again. We endured a rather long dry spell in that regard, and it’s great to see the calendar filled up with quarterly reporters once again.

For some of our newer subscribers who may not yet be familiar with how we operate, we always try to utilize the inherent volatility that follows a company’s quarterly earnings drop to fuel short to intermediate term options plays. Our ideas are successful more often than not because of this dynamic.

Today, with the calendar full of symbols, here are the chains and strike ranges that we are most attracted to, and are going to want to monitor:

PG Weekly $143-144 Calls
LOGI 11/20 $95-100
DKNG 11/20 $46-48 Calls 


Northwest Biotherapeutics, Inc. NWBO

We have been tracking NWBO for the better part of two months now. We initially signaled the stock on the morning of September 2nd, and that day it saw a low of .405.

Fast forward to yesterday, and the stock has achieved a high of 2.08 which represents an increase of 414% in roughly six weeks’ time!


Extended Watchlist:
HLIX, CNGT, OPTI, LGIQ, BCHG, CHAG 

Options Winners, New Targets

Blink Charging Co. BLNK 

We initially began tracking BLNK during the first week of last month, subsequent to which time we would witness a spectacular run in the stock that took it from a low of  5.05 up to 14.58 for a gain of 188%

We wanted to check in on BLNK again today as we close out another solid trading week, as it appears the stock could be gearing up to test those recent highs and potentially add to our observed range of increases.

Reviewing Friday’s Options Plays

In Friday morning’s report, we set out several last-minute options ideas, and our first order of business to kick off the fresh trading week is to highlight the performances recorded by those targets.

We had a mixture of bulls and bears on our watchlist and for most of them, we saw some pretty nice action and potential intraday gains:

DKNG Weekly $25 Calls
$280: 
.90-4.30 (+378%)

AMAT Weekly $54.50-53 Puts
$54.50: 
1.30-2.63 (+102%)
$54: 1.05-2.50 (+138%)
$53.50: .72-2.29 (+218%)
$53: .50-1.80 (+260%)

ACB Weekly $7-8 Calls

$7: .86-3.03 (+252%)
$8: .28-3.75 (+1238%)

In the case of ACB, not only did our options targets kill, especially with that beautiful twelve-bagger, but the stock itself is on a heck of a run, seeing a low of 7.80 on Friday and reaching as high as 14.90 in early trading today. That’s a respectable move of 91% We’re also going to roll up to the ACB $13-15 Calls for this week.

SE Weekly $63-66 Calls
SPY 05/20 $292-295 Calls
TDG 07/17 $390-400 Calls
