AAPL News/Earnings Headlines Exciting Day

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Options Update

Yesterday morning, AAPL was among our fresh options ideas in our premarket report, as AAPL has a tendency to run into earnings, and was slated for a post-market release. That indeed was the case, and our targets, the  AAPL Weekly $375-377.50 Calls fared reasonably well.

That being said, the party is just getting started, because not only did AAPL blow Q3 earnings expectations out of the water. but the company also announced a 4-for-1 forward split planned for August. Here are the intraday gains made by our targets yesterday, which will be significantly higher once trading commences today:

AAPL Weekly $375-377.50 Calls
$375: 10.19-15.11 (+48%)
$377.50: 8.80-13.50 (+53%)

AAPL will open at fresh all time highs, and send those contracts soaring. We’re also going to add a few other possible targets to take advantage of the current activity, with the AAPL Weekly $407.50-412.50 Calls* as well as the 08/07 $415 Calls.

More Options Review

We also had ranges of ideas in several other options chains yesterday morning and saw some truly explosive gains. Here are the ranges and total multibag profit opportunities that they provided:

QCOM Weekly $102-104 Calls
$102: 1.05-5.66 (+439%)
$103: .96-4.94 (+415%)
$104: .35-4.00 (+1043%)
_____

PYPL Weekly $190-195 Calls
$190: 2.15-5.15 (+140%)
$192.50: 1.12-3.31 (+196%)

_____

OSTK Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70: 1.24-9.50 (+666%)
$75: .60-5.90 (+883%)

The markets in general have a tendency to run when AAPL crushes on earnings, and that could be ready to happen today, leading to added gains in one or more of these plays.

New Highs on KNOS, Options Idea

SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) Options Recap
–
For the readers who may have only recently found our site or subscribed to our daily mailing list, we commonly use the SPY as our go-to market analogue. When we’re hoping to prey upon the general sentiment of a given day or week, quick-strike SPY options are how we most often accomplish this.

Yesterday was one such day, as we kicked off the fresh trading week by signaling interest in the SPY Weekly $319-320 Calls. Right out of the gate, and until lunch hour, the SPY ran with the markets, and provided us with some very nice intraday gain opportunities:

SPY Weekly $319-320 Calls 
$319: 2.42-4.67 (+93%)
$320: 1.86-3.91 (+110%)

Fresh Idea:
BDC 09/18 $30-35 Calls

Kronos Advanced Technologies, Inc. KNOS

The last time we updated readers on the fantastic gainer that has been KNOS was back on June 4th. At the time, we had witnessed a run following our initial April call of the stock (04/20/20) from .011-.1309 (+1090%).

We’re circling back this morning after the stock has yet again soared to new highs. Following our report in June, KNOS consolidated down to a low of .043, before gradually pressing to yesterday’s new high of .24. That works out to a swing of 458% just over the last month, and an overall increase from our initially observed low amounting to a whopping 2082%, making KNOS our top OTC pick of the past few months.

WFC Update, Fresh Idea

TPT Global Tech, Inc. TPTW

We have been hot on the trail of TPTW since the morning of June 30th, at which time the stock was trading at a low of .0235 per share. We continued to mention the stock last week on a couple of occassions, as it climbed its way up the chart.

To finish off the week on Friday, TPTW made yet another run to solidify a new high of .0725. That marks a two-week increase on this play amounting to 209% This was just the next stock in a growing line of OTC picks that have fared well for us in recent months.

So far, we have seen some nice preliminary gains off of that idea, and based on the current setup of the WFC chart, we like the chances of seeing even more progress in that regard over the coming weeks. Here are the total possible gains that could have been achieved on the heels of our July 7th alert::

08/21 $25-27.50 Calls
$25: 1.22-2.15 (+76%)

Recent Performers

S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) – Recap

Our main winner from Friday morning’s premarket report was our idea for the SPY. The markets saw an early rip out of the gate before pulling back, running once again, and eventually tapering off into the close.

As a result of the activity we observed, our designated contract sets experienced two separate and significant surges on the day. Here are the total possible gains afforded by the moves that occurred:

SPY 07/02 $313-314 Calls
$313: 1.88-4.22 (+47%) | .67-1.55 (+47%)
$314: 1.28-2.10 (+49%) | .36-.77 (+47%)

Other Recent Winners:

Plug Power Inc. PLUG – We also want to begin this fresh trading week by re-highlighting PLUG, which we most recently talked about on June 24th. Subsequent to that report, the stock traded for as little as 6.91 a share, and on Friday the stock attained a new high of 9.65. This morning in the premarket we’ve seen shares change hands for 10.09.

That puts our total observed increase on PLUG in under two weeks at a respectable 46% and warrants further attention going forward.

Overstock.com Inc. OSTK – Another recent performer we’ve been hot on the trail of is OSTK, which we mentioned quite a bit back in May. Since then, OSTK has done little else other than climb its way to new highs week after week.

When we first alerted on OSTK it was trading at 15.45, and to close out the short week on Thursday, the stock had hit 39.38. That works out to a 2-month upswing of 155%
