Lossless Thursday, 5 Plays to End the Week

Thursday’s Big Plays:

Even with our level of acumen, which makes missing on daily options ideas rather rare around here, it’s always exciting when we have a chance to complete a perfect week. But that’s what we’re faced with today, having yet to falter on a single target this week. A green slate today would complete that feat, because once again on Thursday, everything we signaled in our daily premarket report recorded sizable intraday upswings of which traders could have taken advantage.

We were zeroed in on the AZN Weekly $64-62 Puts, the DIS Weekly $105-107 Calls, the PYPL Weekly $61-59 Puts, and the ARM Weekly $96-98 Calls. Here were the moves they made on the day, which ranged from moderate to downright eye-popping:

Friday’s Big Movers, Fresh Targets

Fridays Big Movers: 

We finished out the week on a high note Friday, with both of the potential options plays we signaled in our premarket report posting good gains on the day. We’ve got just this week to get through, and we’ll be back in the midst of another earnings season. As most of our readers should know by now, we swear by the volatility produced by big-name earnings reporters, and it has been a long 6 weeks of the same being few and far between.

As for Friday’s ideas, we were honed in on the LEVI Weekly $17 Calls, and the WDFC 07/15 $190-185 Calls, . The Levi calls were far and away the hotter idea, but WD-40 also recorded some very nice moves for us.

LEVI Weekly $17 Calls
$17:
 .05-.47 (+840%)
_____

WDFC 07/15 $190-185 Calls
$190: 1.79-3.50 (+96%)

Putting a Cap on a Fruitful Short Week

Options Review: 

We went bearish on the pair of options ideas that we highlighted for yesterday morning’s premarket report, and they posted some pretty nice intraday moves, considering the markets as a whole went on an impressive daily run.

Our areas of interest were the HELE 07/15 $160-150 Puts, and the SLP Weekly $55-50 Puts. Both ranges of contracts yielded two separate chances to pocket multibag proceeds on the day, with the SLP $50 Puts stealing the show on the strength of a massive four-bagger. Those potential gains were as follows:

HELE 07/15 $160-150 Puts
$160: 
7.80-10.30 (+32%)
$155: 2.55-6.40 (+151%)
$150: 1.54-3.25 (+111%)
_____

SLP Weekly $55-50 Puts 
$55: 1.60-4.00 (+150%)
$50: .15-.88 (+487%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
LEVI Weekly $17 Calls*
WDFC 07/15 $190-185 Calls

*Trading options on their day of expiration can carry a heightened level of risk and should only be attempted by seasoned traders.


United Maritime Corp. USEA – NASDAQ Recap: 

Our daily extended watchlists are typically a mix of the stocks from both the upper and lower exchanges, and while we usually don’t see the type of quick gains USEA posted yesterday from a NASDAQ stock, it did post a solid daily run and is gapping up in premarket trading this morning. The stock traded for as little as 6.16 a share following yesterday’s alert, and this morning it has reached as high as 10.12 in early trading, which represents an overnight increase of 64%

Kicking Off Another Short Trading Week

Options Play Review: 

Heading into the long weekend on Friday, we took just one stab at a set of potential quick-strike weekly targets. We went to the short side on Micron Technology and thanks in part to an early dip in the markets, that idea yielded a pretty good set of runners.

We were zeroed in on the MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts which produced the following multi-bag intraday runs for us:

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
$53.50: 
.66-2.06 (+212%)
$53: .43-1.65 (+284%)
$52: .20-.85 (+325%)

Additionally, we wanted to do a quick recap of a couple of the plays we signaled interest in earlier in the week. We flagged ideas in General Mills and McCormick in Wednesday morning’s report that finished out the week with strength and posted new highs. Our targets were the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which put up the following trading ranges and total possible gains between Wednesday and Friday.

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 1.69-5.90 (+249%)
$72.50: .75-3.50 (+367%)
_____

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-8.10 (+35%)
$85: 2.01-3.60 (+80%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls 


Gain Clients, Inc. GCLT – OTC Recap:

We also have a brief update on GCLT, an OTC stock we flagged in Friday morning’s extended watchlist. The made a very respectable intraday move, running from a low of .018 on up to a high of .0349. That works out to a single-session rip of 94% and that came on its second-highest daily volume ever recorded, with the previous session being the first.
