Tuesday’s 5 Winners, 5 Fresh Plays for Today

A Clean Options Sweep:

With the help of a hugely bullish session for the markets yesterday, we were able to see some really nice gains on the options plays we included in our premarket report. All five of our fresh earnings-related targets produced significant upward movement on the day, and we fully expect more of the same today, with an even more impressive slate of earnings reporters on the calendar this morning.

Options Updates, 5 New Ideas

Various Options Recaps:

We fared reasonably well with regard to options yesterday. In out premarket report, both of the short term plays we signaled interest in produced sizable intraday runs. Those were the DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls, and the SPY 07/24 $452-453 Calls. We had another idea with an August expiration that didn’t produce instant results. However, a set of August calls in another chain that we’ve been tracking since our report a few Mondays ago on the 10th, the PLCE 08/18 $25 Calls, have gone on to hit new highs.

The gains for the DPZ and SPY Calls below are obviously from yesterday’s session only, while the figures for the PLCE Calls represent their increase over the past two weeks.

DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls
$387.50: 
4.51-10.41 (+131%)
$390: 3.29-9.09 (+176%)

SPY 07/24 $452-453 Calls
