Yesterday’s Earnings Plays: 

Two of our fresh options plays for yesterday’s report were weekly calls, and despite a mixed session for the markets as a whole, they experienced appreciable intraday moves. The activity in the MRVL Weekly $49-51 Calls and the SFIX Weekly $61.50-65 Calls didn’t blow the lid off of anything, but we did witness some highly respectable gain opportunities.

$49: 1.06-1.92 (+81%)
$50: .62-1.23 (+98%)

Interesting Chart Plays:

Also catching our eye this morning are a couple of interesting chart setups in FibroGen, Inc. FGEN and Fastly, Inc. FSLY, and in both cases we will be watching the stocks as well as some potential options ideas.

In the case of FGEN, there are a couple of large gaps to fill to the upside, and over the past couple of sessions the stock has given indication that it may be about to do so. We’re going to be tagging the FGEN 07/16 $27.50-30 Calls for observation.

On FSLY, the gap-fill has occurred this week and the PPS is now on the verge of breaking past the 50DMA with its considerable momentum. We’ll radar the FSLY 06/25 $61-63 Calls.

Cleaning Up on Options

We had formulated three separate options ideas as our fresh plays for yesterday morning’s premarket report, and despite the fact that the markets as a whole took an absolute dive on the day, all three sets of contracts produced significant upward movement early on.

Our targets were in the GS, INFY, and VOXX chains, and here are the moves they made right from the opening bell:

GS Weekly $210-215 Calls
$210: 2.72-5.13 (+89%)
$212.50: 1.55-3.27 (+111%)
$215: .81-1.92 (+137%)

Solar is Red Hot

Keeping an Eye on Solar

This week has brought some very interesting plays in the solar energy sector. We’ve already seen big gains from SPI Energy Inc. SPI, JinkoSolar Holdings. Inc. JKS, and SunWorks Inc. SUNW, and would like to keep our eyes peeled for other opportunities in the arena which may be boosted by the volatility in those moves.

Yesterday alone, SPI went parabolic as it popped off from a low of 3.30 and hit 46.67 for an intraday run of over 1300%, SUNW ran from .73-4.57 (+526%), and JKS continued a month long run with a solid jump from 28.30 to 33.74 (+19%).

What this all tells us, is that a lot of eyeballs are sure to be flooding the solar space in coming sessions, and we’d like to formulate an options idea in the Invesco Solar ETF (TAN), which is presently flirting with a double top, the breaking of which would put it into blue sky territory. To make things interesting, we are going to place the TAN 10/16 $54-56 Calls on watch.
