Multiple Options Updates, Fresh Ideas

Options Trading Updates: 

A lot of the potential options targets we’ve been signaling for observation lately have had a July 15th expiration date, which is a slight departure from our typical targeting of weekly contracts. It has made sense in the current choppy climate being cause by a seemingly constant ebb and flow of recession concerns.

So this morning in addition to providing the moves made by the lone idea in yesterday’s report, the KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls, we’ll provide updates on a number of other still-active plays we’ve been tracking that are getting along quite nicely. Those are the KBH 07/15 $27-28 Calls, the WGO 07/15 $45-50 Calls, and the NFLX 07/22 $185-190 Calls. We called those on June 23rd, June 22nd and July 1st, respectively. Here are the total gains that have been possible with those plays over that time frames:

KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls 
$125: 15.00-19.00 (+27%)
$130: 11.67-17.24 (+48%)

Kicking Off Another Short Trading Week

Options Play Review: 

Heading into the long weekend on Friday, we took just one stab at a set of potential quick-strike weekly targets. We went to the short side on Micron Technology and thanks in part to an early dip in the markets, that idea yielded a pretty good set of runners.

We were zeroed in on the MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts which produced the following multi-bag intraday runs for us:

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
$53.50: .66-2.06 (+212%)
$53: .43-1.65 (+284%)
$52: .20-.85 (+325%)

Additionally, we wanted to do a quick recap of a couple of the plays we signaled interest in earlier in the week. We flagged ideas in General Mills and McCormick in Wednesday morning’s report that finished out the week with strength and posted new highs. Our targets were the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which put up the following trading ranges and total possible gains between Wednesday and Friday.

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 1.69-5.90 (+249%)
$72.50: .75-3.50 (+367%)
_____

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-8.10 (+35%)
$85: 2.01-3.60 (+80%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)

Gain Clients, Inc. GCLT – OTC Recap:

We also have a brief update on GCLT, an OTC stock we flagged in Friday morning’s extended watchlist. The made a very respectable intraday move, running from a low of .018 on up to a high of .0349. That works out to a single-session rip of 94% and that came on its second-highest daily volume ever recorded, with the previous session being the first.

Yesterday’s Options Movers, Fresh Plays & More

Yesterday’s Options Results: 

Our perfect streak had to come to an end sooner or later, with one of our ideas from yesterday’s premarket report failing to produce instant opportunities. We didn’t see an immediate push from the August YETI Calls we signaled, but there is, of course, plenty of time before expiration for us to get the activity we’re looking for from them.

In the meantime, our other three selections proved to be solid ideas for the day, and three out of four is nothing to sneeze at! Those plays that yielded gratification were the WBA Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls, the DCT 07/15 $17.50-15 Puts and the SGH 07/15 $17.50 Calls, and here were the total possible profits which could have been reaped from those targets:

WBA Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls
$38.50: .52-1.13 (+117%)
$39: .45-.84 (+87%)
$39.50: .35-.59 (+69%)

DCT 07/15 $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50: 2.45-4.00 (+63%)
$15: .70-2.25 (+221%)

SGH 07/15 $17.50 Calls 
$17.50: .15-.55 (+267%)

haring Economy International Inc. SEII – OTC Recap:

Yesterday morning we noticed that SEII had been pressing upward on a considerable run, and included it in our extended watchlist. The stock continued its impressive push, trading in a range from .106 up to .142. The momentum built up in this stock is considerable, and we’ll certainly be watching for a continuation of same in the sessions to come on the other side of the long weekend.
