Thursday’s Movers, Fresh Play Friday

Thursday’s Big Runners:

We kept things moving yesterday with regard to our never-ending daily quest for hot options trades. Our premarket report contained five sets of ideas based off of a big day for earnings, and of those, four returned some very nice chances for intraday profit. We’ve got some nice names on the board today, so we feel confident that we can carry this success into the weekend.

Yesterday’s big opportunities came in the form of the TTWO Weekly $139-141 Calls, the WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls, the BABA Weekly $90-92 Calls, and the BBWI Weekly $36-37.50 Calls. The moves they recorded were fairly impressive. Here’s how the session shook out:

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.
