Recapping Options Runners, Fresh Plays

Markets Rip on Monday:

We were a little light on options activity with one of the two ideas we signaled in yesterday’s report, but fortunately for us, the day was marked by a sizable surge in the markets. That not only sent our SPY 12/12 $393-394 Calls for the day on a major run, but we saw new highs in several of the December 16th Calls we’ve been tracking in other chains in recent weeks.

We signaled the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls for observation on December 2nd, and both the GTLB 12/16 $45 Calls and the FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls we targeted on the 6th. Here are the full breakdowns of yesterday’s SPY’s, and the performance of the other plays over the aforementioned date ranges:

Stock and Options Updates, Fresh Ideas

Paltalk, Inc. PALT – Recap: 

We want to track back slightly this morning to talk about the alerts we posted on PALT last week. We didn’t get a chance to highlight the stock’s performance in our packed Friday newsletter, so we’re going to outline the moves it made as we kick off a fresh trading week today.

Our initial flag of PALT came on Monday morning, at which time the stock was trading for as little as 4.39 a share. PALT subsequently made a dramatic run to a high of 15.20, which marks a total possible gain of 246% for anyone who was along for the ride.

We offered up exactly one quick-strike options idea on Friday morning, with the ZM Weekly $265-272.50 Calls, and we’re pleased to report that not only did those contracts post multi-bag gains on the day, but i one set even breached into thousand-percent-gainer territory on the day!

Regardless of which strike point was chosen, massive gains were there for the taking as a result of our alert. Here were those intraday moves and total possible profits:

PHI Group, Inc. PHIL – Recap:

Also in that same June 8th report, we tagged PHIL, a subpenny play that underwent a nice dip-and-rip and ran right into penny territory.

From a low of .0055, we’ve witnessed the stock make a run to its new high of .015 yesterday. That works out to a highly respectable run of 173% Volume over the same period has been greatly increased as well, so we’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for continued momentum.
