SPY Puts Explode, Other Updates, & Fresh Ideas

Options Review: 

We’re ready to kick off yet another trading week, and we’re going to start off by going over our winning ideas from Friday’s premarket report. Which is to say, all three of the ideas we put forth for our readers.

We were bearish on everything for the day and fared very well with the help of the markets tanking throughout the afternoon and into the close. Our specific targets were the NFLX Weekly $420-400 Puts, the ISRG Weekly $278.33-276.67 Puts, and the SPY 01/21 $446-444 Puts. Here are the total runs and possible gains on the day:

WD-40 Company WDFC – Options Update:  

As we close out this holiday-shortened week, we’ll start off by giving an update on the options idea we put forth in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We were looking at the WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls on the heels of the company’s earnings drop from the day prior.

The stock itself ran to nearly $280 before tapering back and that provided some very nice intraday gain opportunities for anyone who had caught our alert. Here are the intraday trading ranges and total possible gains on those targets:

WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls
$250: 20.32-26.15 (+29%)
$260: 7.81-16.67 (+113%)
$270: 4.31-8.18 (+90%)

Carver Bancorp Inc. CARV – Recap:

Additionally, we want to go over the performance of CARV following its inclusion in yesterday’s extended watchlist. A short-squeeze provided an excellent intraday move for a stock in this price range.

CARV ran from 16.61 to a new high of 38.87 on the day marking an upswing of 134% on volume of over 82X the 30-day moving average!

Multiple Updates, Fresh Ideas

PHI Group, Inc. PHIL – Recap:

We’re back this morning with another update on PHI, a stock we’ve been tracking for a couple weeks now. We initially tagged this play in our June 8th report, and have been following along ever since. Subsequent to that alert, the stock registered a low of .0055 before taking off to new highs.

We reported an update on PHIL’s activity a week ago today, however this new trading week has brought still more new highs for this stock, with the PPS hitting .0185 yesterday. That works out to an overall move of 236%  Even if you only caught last week’s update on PHIL, you still could have caught a solid move from .0082 to yesterday high of .0185 which represents a move of 126%


Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. SWBI – Recap:

We rode some SWBI options for really nice gains between last week and this week as we mentioned in yesterday’s report, but with another huge surge in the stock to open up the week, the percentage gains in SWBI stock itself have become notable.

When we issued our idea on Friday, SWBI traded for as little as 20.75, and as of its newly registered high yesterday of 28.18, that marks a two-day swing of 36%, which is nothing to sneeze at for a $20+ stock.


Moderna Inc. MRNA – Review:

Just to provide a quick update on our MRNA options idea that we issued yesterday- despite choosing a longer-term set of contracts, we did see instant gratification as MRNA spiked on the day and provided for a very good start for our tracked contracts, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls.

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-27.85 (+19%)
$200: 18.00-25.10 (+39%)
$210: 13.55-19.95 (+47%)

We’ll add some weekly targets into the mix as well with the MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls.
