Perfect Sweep on Options Plays, Fresh Ideas

Six for Six on Options Plays:

We believe that yesterday morning’s premarket report contained SIX options ideas for the first time since we’ve been giving out options ideas, which is roughly ten years now! That just goes to show how substantial this earnings season is shaping up to be. We signaled that half a dozen sets of calls, and thanks in part to a bullish day for the markets, we saw considerable gains in every last target we formulated!

Our wide net was cast over the BA Weekly $157.50-162.50 Calls, the TMUS Weekly $139-141 Calls, the TXN Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the GOOG Weekly $108.50-109.50 Calls, the MSFT Weekly $257.50-262.50 Calls and the SPY 07/29 $393-394 Calls, and here were the catches we hauled in on that massive effort:

Kicking Off Another Short Trading Week

Options Play Review: 

Heading into the long weekend on Friday, we took just one stab at a set of potential quick-strike weekly targets. We went to the short side on Micron Technology and thanks in part to an early dip in the markets, that idea yielded a pretty good set of runners.

We were zeroed in on the MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts which produced the following multi-bag intraday runs for us:

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
$53.50: 
.66-2.06 (+212%)
$53: .43-1.65 (+284%)
$52: .20-.85 (+325%)

Additionally, we wanted to do a quick recap of a couple of the plays we signaled interest in earlier in the week. We flagged ideas in General Mills and McCormick in Wednesday morning’s report that finished out the week with strength and posted new highs. Our targets were the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which put up the following trading ranges and total possible gains between Wednesday and Friday.

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 1.69-5.90 (+249%)
$72.50: .75-3.50 (+367%)
_____

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-8.10 (+35%)
$85: 2.01-3.60 (+80%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls 


Gain Clients, Inc. GCLT – OTC Recap:

We also have a brief update on GCLT, an OTC stock we flagged in Friday morning’s extended watchlist. The made a very respectable intraday move, running from a low of .018 on up to a high of .0349. That works out to a single-session rip of 94% and that came on its second-highest daily volume ever recorded, with the previous session being the first.
