Midweek Options Movers, 3 Fresh Ideas

Four for Five on Tuesday:

Our performance for yesterday’s session turned out to be an extremely solid one, with our premarket report containing five potential options targets, four of which posted really good results on the day. Most were puts, and with the help of a crummy day for the markets, the opportunities were not in short supply.

Our winning ideas for the day were the MKC 10/20 $75-70 Puts, the ABNB Weekly $135-133 Puts, the NVDA Weekly $445-447.50 Calls and the SOXL Weekly $19.50-18.50 Puts. We’re also going to include figures from the RIVN Weekly $25-23 Puts we signaled on Monday and updated in yesterday’s report, because of the impressive new highs they tacked on:

Friday Recap, Fresh Options Ideas

Friday’s Movers:

We got along quite well as we closed out the short trading week on Friday with a slate of four possible options plays, and saw gains ranging from good to great in three of those four targets. The markets got off to a bullish start, and after lunch hour, reversed track and fell into the close. That provided plenty of intraday activity to facilitate some very nice upswings in our daily targets.

We had the BABA Weekly $85-87 Calls, the RIVN Weekly $21.50-22.50 Calls, and the LEVI 07/21 $14-13 Puts all come through with the following intraday runs:

BABA Weekly $85-87 Calls
$85:
 1.60-6.50 (+306%)
$86: .99-5.50 (+456%)
$87: .57-4.55 (+698%)
_____

RIVN Weekly $21.50-22.50 Calls
$21.50:
 1.21-4.10 (+239%)
$22: .84-3.60 (+328%)
$22.50: .55-3.00 (+445%)
_____

LEVI 07/21 $14-13 Puts
$14: .55-.91 (+65%)
$13: .15-.25 (+67%)

HELE Weekly $121-124 Calls
LIN 07/21 $360-370 Calls
PLCE 08/18 $25 Calls



Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:GRRR)

We also saw a decent intraday move out of GRRR, which we tagged in Friday’s extended watchlist. The stock ran from a low of 3.39 on up to a daily high of 5.79 which represented a rise of 71% on the day.

SPY Cooks Again, Fresh Plays

Options Reviews:

Our primary mover of the day yesterday involved the SPY Calls that we signaled in yesterday morning’s premarket report. It was the second straight session in a row wherein the markets have put together extremely bullish performances, and that led to some serious gains in the targets we were tracking.

Those potential-filled plays were the SPY 10/05 $370-372 Calls which put forth some very solid daily runs for us. We also want to circle back for the FTNT 10/21 $45-50 Calls, which we slated for observation on Monday morning. Those too have produced notable gains so far as we head through this midweek. The trading ranges and potential gains on these plays have been as follows:

SPY 10/05 $370-372 Calls

$370: 4.28-8.53 (+99%)
$371: 3.66-7.55 (+106%)
$372: 3.08-6.75 (+119%)
_____

FTNT 10/21 $45-50 Calls
$45: 4.59-8.15 (+78%)
$50: 1.60-4.00 (+150%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
HELE 10/21 $95-85 Puts
RPM 10/21 $90-95 Calls
CAT 11/04 $180-185 Calls


Applied Minerals Inc. AMNL – OTC Recap:

Just for a quick update on a stock that performed very well off of yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. AMNL saw a low of .0091 on the day before surging as high as .02, which works out to a v ery respectable gain of 120%

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%

SPY Calls Break Out, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps: 

On the options trading front, we are making our way through the earnings drought as best we can recently, and doing a fairly good job of it if we say so ourselves. We’re in for another week-plus of this, with the days of having plenty of earnings reporters on the calendar set to return on Monday the 18th.

For now, we’ll keep plugging away and taking whatever we can get, and for yesterday’s report that came in the form of the SPY 07/06 $380-382 Calls which absolutely ripped, and the RFP 07/15 $17.50-20 Calls. Additionally, we’ve got some new highs to report in the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls which we alerted on last Wednesday.

SPY 07/06 $380-382 Calls
$380:
 1.45-5.92 (+308%)
$381: 1.05-4.85 (+362%)
$382: .67-3.85 (+477%)
_____

RFP 07/15 $17.50-20 Calls 

$17.50: 2.80-3.05 (+9%)
$20: .45-.70 (+56%)
_____

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 
2.50-6.63 (+165%)
$72.50: 1.05-4.10 (+290%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
HELE 07/15 $160-150 Puts
SLP Weekly $55-50 Puts 


OTC Updates: 

We have a couple of OTC stocks that have been mentioned in recent extended watchlists to update readers on this morning as well. We always try to flag potential plays on the lower exchanges in our watchlists, and very often, it bears significant fruit.

We mentioned HMBL on Tuesday morning and the stock has posted an intraweek run from .048-.0992 which marks an upswing of 107%, and this past Thursday we signaled EMGE which has made a rip-roaring move of 273% from .0082-.0306 in just a week’s time.
