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:

Another Week of Solid Options Winners

Another Perfect Day for Options:

We scored major points with yesterday’s earnings plays, of which there were several. We took a stab at four separate ideas, and came out with intraday runners all the way across the board, continuing what has been a fantastic week of options trading opportunities. The markets themselves put up a mixed bag performance yesterday, but ran hard out of the opening gate and helped give our targets a push in the right direction.

Our areas of focus for the session were the DIS Weekly $120-123 Calls, the BROS Weekly $46-48 Calls, the BAM 08/19 $50-55 Calls, and the SPY 08/12 $424-425 Calls. They all performed rather well on the day with the following moves and total possible intraday gains:

DIS Weekly $120-123 Calls
$120:
 .62-1.21 (+81%)
$121: .39-.81 (+108%)
$122: .26-.54 (+108%)
$123: .16-.34 (+112%)
_____

BROS Weekly $46-48 Calls
$46: 3.79-8.00 (+111%)
$47: 2.54-7.10 (+180%)
$48: 2.31-6.32 (+174%)
_____

BAM 08/19 $50-55 Calls
$50: 3.30-4.20 (+27%)
$55: .20-.52 (+160%)
_____

SPY 08/12 $424-425 Calls
$424: 1.38-2.53 (+83%)
$425: 1.03-1.98 (+92%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 08/12 $420-421 Calls*
ILMN Weekly $200-195 Puts*
RIVN Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls*

 INKW – OTC Recap:

Finishing off with another OTC recap this morning, we have an update concerning INKW. We flagged this play for observation last Thursday, and have since witnessed a move from .0056-.0146 which marks a very respectable run of 161% in the span of one trading week.

Sweeping the Board with Options Runners

Clean Options Sweep:

Amid a huge day for the markets yesterday, our daily options ideas also bore fruit. We’ve missed on exactly one of the many targets we’ve formulated all week, demonstrating a fairly routine level of accuracy for us. Our regular readers are surely accustomed to our high hit rate, and as for all of you newcomers, you will begin to see that we run a pretty tight ship around here. Each day consists of a review of the previous sessions interests, a grouping of fresh options ideas wherever possible, and an extended watchlist of both small and large cap stocks to watch based on their premarket activity.
