Another 6-Pack of Options Ideas

More Options Winners:

We are cruising into the weekend after what has truly been an exciting and fruitful week of options trading. After sweeping the board with six distinct ideas from Wednesday’s report, we continued to press our advantage and formulated another four fresh potential plays in yesterday morning’s premarket report.

Those targets were the TMO Weekly $585-595 Calls, the MA Weekly $345-347.50 Calls, the LIN 08/19 $280 Calls, and the F Weekly $13.50-14 Calls.  We’re pleased to report that not only did all of them produce for us, but they recorded some truly huge intraday runs, with the exception of the longer term play with August expiration on BA, which only put down nominal gains, but have three whole weeks yet to achieve our aim. Here were the total possible profits that could have been squeezed from yesterday’s slate:

TMO Weekly $585-595 Calls
$585: 4.50-16.20 (+260%)
$590: 1.50-13.23 (+782%)
$595: 2.03-8.94 (+340%)

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. .

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. CBIO
Daily Range: .90-1.47
Gained: +63%

GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX
Daily Range: 1.65-2.85
Gained: +73%
