Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Monday’s Options Review:

We kicked off the week in solid form in our premarket report yesterday morning, despite lacking a large slate of earnings reporters off of which to base our daily ideas. All three of the quick-strike options targets we offered up for the day turned in winning cards. We had a much longer term with a June expiration as well, but we can come back for those at a later date.

In the meantime, our fresh targets to kick things off on Monday morning were the SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls, the MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls, and the SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls and here are the numbers thy put up for us on the session:

SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls
$411: .59-2.48 (+320%)
$412: .28-1.58 (+464%)

MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls
$145: 4.00-9.40 (+135%)
$150: 2.50-6.00 (+140%)

SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls

GFS Calls Post 1100% Gainer, Fresh Plays

Options Review:

Things took an unexpected turn for the markets yesterday, with all premarket signs pointing to a lackluster day, but the session itself turning out to be generally bullish. The result was an added push for the bullish play on our radar, while the bearish ones fell by the wayside.

We’ll recap the daily performance of those YOU Weekly $30 Calls, and we also want to include a couple of updates on two sets of longer-term plays that we added into the mix last Tuesday. On the morning of the 8th, we signaled interest in the GFS 08/19 $60-65 Calls, and the XOM 09/02 $95-96 Calls
and both of those have turned out to be excellent ideas, posting the following huge runs over the past week:

YOU Weekly $30 Calls
$30: .15-.40 (+167%)
_____

GFS 08/19 $60-65 Calls
$60: .80-6.40 (+700%)
$65: .22-2.80 (+1173%)
