AAPL News/Earnings Headlines Exciting Day

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Update

Yesterday morning, AAPL was among our fresh options ideas in our premarket report, as AAPL has a tendency to run into earnings, and was slated for a post-market release. That indeed was the case, and our targets, the  AAPL Weekly $375-377.50 Calls fared reasonably well.

That being said, the party is just getting started, because not only did AAPL blow Q3 earnings expectations out of the water. but the company also announced a 4-for-1 forward split planned for August. Here are the intraday gains made by our targets yesterday, which will be significantly higher once trading commences today:

AAPL Weekly $375-377.50 Calls
$375:
 10.19-15.11 (+48%)
$377.50: 8.80-13.50 (+53%)

AAPL will open at fresh all time highs, and send those contracts soaring. We’re also going to add a few other possible targets to take advantage of the current activity, with the AAPL Weekly $407.50-412.50 Calls* as well as the 08/07 $415 Calls.


More Options Review

We also had ranges of ideas in several other options chains yesterday morning and saw some truly explosive gains. Here are the ranges and total multibag profit opportunities that they provided:

QCOM Weekly $102-104 Calls
$102: 1.05-5.66 (+439%)
$103: .96-4.94 (+415%)
$104: .35-4.00 (+1043%)
_____

PYPL Weekly $190-195 Calls
$190: 2.15-5.15 (+140%)
$192.50: 1.12-3.31 (+196%)
$195: .70-1.96 (+180%)
_____

OSTK Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70:
 1.24-9.50 (+666%)
$75: .60-5.90 (+883%)

The markets in general have a tendency to run when AAPL crushes on earnings, and that could be ready to happen today, leading to added gains in one or more of these plays.
