Thunderous Thursday Runners, Fresh Ideas for Friday

Thursday’s Big Gainers:

We made waves in a big way yesterday, absolutely crushing all of of our daily options ideas. We finally had some big name earnings reporters to work with, and work they did! We chose a selection of five potential targets on the day, and not only did all five produce multi-bag gain chances across the board, but we had a couple of plays in there which easily exceeded the thousand-percent mark on gains!

Those fantastic plays were the DAL Weekly $36.50-37 Calls, the WBA Weekly $22.50-23 Calls, the FAST 10/20 $57.50-60 Calls, the SPY 10/12 $436-437 Calls, and the DPZ Weekly $350-345 Puts. The excellent moves they registered for the session were as follows:

Bullish and Bearish Options Ideas

Ehang Holdings Ltd. EH – Recap:

Things have been cooling on the options front this week as we struggle through a period of extreme low numbers of daily earnings reporters. It’s the volatility following these earnings dumps that provides us with the big gain chances we’re always after.

We have been managing to find plays here and there, however, and one of our ideas from yesterday morning, the EH Weekly $40-45 Calls, did post some solid intraday gains for us. Out of our pair of designated targets, one achieved multibag status while the other fell just a couple of percentage points short.

Here are the total moves and possible profits on the session for those plays:

EH Weekly $40-45 Calls 
$40: 3.98-7.90 (+98%)
$45: 2.34-4.80 (+105%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ll be flipping bearish on ORCL today, and are also taking a longer-term look at SAGE, which has fallen off a cliff this week.

SAGE 08/20 $60-65 Calls 

ORCL Weekly $79-77.50 Puts


Extended Watchlist:
DPLS, KATX, APTY, RSHN, VMCS, WDLF, EFIR,  HYSR, SRNW, APRE, SPI, KIN, GTEC, FORD

PHI Group, Inc. PHIL – Recap:

Also in that same June 8th report, we tagged PHIL, a subpenny play that underwent a nice dip-and-rip and ran right into penny territory.

From a low of .0055, we’ve witnessed the stock make a run to its new high of .015 yesterday. That works out to a highly respectable run of 173% Volume over the same period has been greatly increased as well, so we’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for continued momentum.
