Lossless Thursday, 5 Plays to End the Week

Thursday’s Big Plays:

Even with our level of acumen, which makes missing on daily options ideas rather rare around here, it’s always exciting when we have a chance to complete a perfect week. But that’s what we’re faced with today, having yet to falter on a single target this week. A green slate today would complete that feat, because once again on Thursday, everything we signaled in our daily premarket report recorded sizable intraday upswings of which traders could have taken advantage.

We were zeroed in on the AZN Weekly $64-62 Puts, the DIS Weekly $105-107 Calls, the PYPL Weekly $61-59 Puts, and the ARM Weekly $96-98 Calls. Here were the moves they made on the day, which ranged from moderate to downright eye-popping:

AZN Weekly $64-62 Puts

1.70-2.25 (+32%)
$63: .85-1.46 (+72%)

Wrapping Up the Short Trading Week with New Ideas

Options Reviews:

In an extremely rare occurrence, neither of the targets we were looking at in yesterday’s report turned in worthwhile performances on the day. We really can’t recall the last time that happened, if ever, but as we always say, nobody can win them all. Instead of reviewing those, we have updates on a handful of longer term plays that we’ve recently flagged.

We initially selected the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls in our report on June 21st, the KBH 07/21 $50 Puts in the following day’s report, and the PAYX 07/21 $110-115 Calls on the morning of June 29th. Here are the figures on the upswings and new highs we’ve seen from these plays this week.

PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls
$31: .15-2.35 (+1467%)
$32: .10-1.50 (+1400%)
$33: .15-.85 (+467%)

KBH 07/21 $50 Puts
$50: .08-2.05 (+2462%)

PAYX 07/21 $110-115 Calls

3-Pack of Earning Plays to Close Out the Week

Options Reviews:

On Thursday, once again most of the ideas in our premarket report produced notable intraday movement. Just one of our three fresh ideas failed to record sizable intraday upswings. Such has been the case this week, however most of our interests have been fruitful.

In addition to the GBX 07/21 $35-40 Calls, and the PAYX 07/21 $110-115 Calls, from yesterday’s report, we also saw some impressive new highs in the AVAV 07/21 $95-100 Calls that we alerted on Wednesday morning. Here’s how those ideas shook out for us on Thursday:

GBX 07/21 $35-40 Calls
$35:
 2.05-6.60 (+222%)
$40: .65-3.21 (+394%)
_____

PAYX 07/21 $110-115 Calls
$110:
 1.76-2.73 (+55%)

AVAV 07/21 $95-100 Calls
$95: 2.20-7.01 (+219%)
$100: .70-3.50 (+400%)
