Options Recaps, Fresh Ideas & More

Final 09/22 SPY Calls Review:

As we were just mentioning yesterday morning, our tag of the SPY 09/22 $436-438 Calls in Tuesday’s premarket report, provided us with some very nice opportunities. We reported Tuesday’s gains on these contracts that expired yesterday afternoon, and cautioned that they could very well register new highs before the end of the day. That’s precisely what occurred, as the S&P made sharp advances right from the opening bell.

Slightly larger gains could have been available intraday if you *only* caught yesterday’s report, but the following figures represent the largest possible gains for those who may have taken an interest on the previous morning of our initial alert:

SPY 09/22 $436-438 Calls
$436: 1.51-4.18 (+177%)
$437: 1.15-3.25 (+183%)
$438: .84-2.42 (+188%)

Options Recap, Post-Earnings Ideas & More

More Options Review:  

We’ve got options updates on deck for this morning, and there is actually a fairly decent slate of earnings reporters on the docket today, so we’ll take a look into some of those as well.

As for recaps on options calls we’ve made recently, two of the targets that we reviewed yesterday morning continued their momentum and set new highs for us during the session. They were Friday’s alert on the GBX 07/16 $40 Calls and Tuesday’s alert on the ARWR 07/16 $65 Calls. Additionally, we witnessed new highs in the DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls, which we initially targeted a few weeks back on June 24th.

These are the updated figures on those plays, all of which expire at the end of the week:

GBX 07/16 $40 Calls
$40: 1.40-5.40 (+286%)
_____

ARWR 07/16 $65 Calls
$65: 1.28-4.00 (+213%)
_____

DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls
$140: 2.71-10.10 (+273%)
145: 1.10-5.45 (+395%)

Post-Earnings Options Ideas: 

As we’ve been mentioning, next week is when the floodgates for earnings reporters really swing wide open, but for the time being, we have a couple that dropped their quarterlies this morning in which we will select some targets.

GS Weekly $380-385 Calls
PEP Weekly $149-152.50 Calls

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%)
_____

TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls
$17.50: 2.88-10.15 (+252%)
$20: 1.65-8.40 (+409%)
_____

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.29-48.35 (+108%)
$200: 18.07-51.00 (+182%)
$210: 13.58-41.00 (+202%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY Weekly $430-432 Calls
SPCE Weekly $51-53 Calls

Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Recap:

Like a couple of the above-mentioned plays, we signaled MRIN in our report on the morning of June 24th on the basis of the stock alone. We didn’t even need options to leverage with this play as it has continued to soar to new highs.

Yesterday MRIN hit 21.68, which from our observed low of 2.56 registers as an increase 747% of in just a week’s time for this NASDAQ-listed stock!
