Recent Options Movers & More

Recent Runners:

With no earnings plays to work with, it was a pretty rough outing yesterday to kick off the week. We didn’t see immediate chances for returns on the few options ideas we selected, leaving us in anticipation of another earnings season to begin its return next week. We’ll keep the plays we highlighted yesterday on the radar as always, but for this morning’s report, we’ll just focus on some other longer-term ideas we recently formulated, and the progress they’ve managed since then.

We flagged the EVGO 08/18 $4-5 Calls last Monday the 3rd, and the SNOW 08/04 $170-165 Puts we signaled on Friday morning, and have seen some reasonably solid swings from them.

T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO)

We’ve also seen quite an impressive multibag run from TTOO, which we began tracking in our report from the morning of June 22nd. Over these past few weeks we’ve witnessed the stock rise from a low of .066 to as much as .1894 in the premarket this morning. That works out to a gain of 187%

Friday Recap, Fresh Options Ideas

Friday’s Movers:

We got along quite well as we closed out the short trading week on Friday with a slate of four possible options plays, and saw gains ranging from good to great in three of those four targets. The markets got off to a bullish start, and after lunch hour, reversed track and fell into the close. That provided plenty of intraday activity to facilitate some very nice upswings in our daily targets.

We had the BABA Weekly $85-87 Calls, the RIVN Weekly $21.50-22.50 Calls, and the LEVI 07/21 $14-13 Puts all come through with the following intraday runs:

BABA Weekly $85-87 Calls
$85:
 1.60-6.50 (+306%)
$86: .99-5.50 (+456%)
$87: .57-4.55 (+698%)
_____

RIVN Weekly $21.50-22.50 Calls
$21.50:
 1.21-4.10 (+239%)
$22: .84-3.60 (+328%)
$22.50: .55-3.00 (+445%)
_____

LEVI 07/21 $14-13 Puts
$14: .55-.91 (+65%)
$13: .15-.25 (+67%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
HELE Weekly $121-124 Calls
LIN 07/21 $360-370 Calls
PLCE 08/18 $25 Calls



Gorilla Technology Group Inc. (NASDAQ:GRRR)

We also saw a decent intraday move out of GRRR, which we tagged in Friday’s extended watchlist. The stock ran from a low of 3.39 on up to a daily high of 5.79 which represented a rise of 71% on the day.

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

Clean Sweep on Options, New Plays

Options Recaps:

We came in fresh off of the 4th of July holiday yesterday morning, and despite having zero big name earnings reporters to work with, we still put together a slate of four potential options plays that all turned in good performances on the day. Today is going to be similarly challenging in that regard, but as always we’ll strive to ID whatever is worth a look.

In yesterday’s case, we swept the board with all four of our selections. They were the SPY 07/05 $441-442 Calls, the AMD Weekly $115-116 Calls, the DUK 08/18 $90-95 Calls, and the RIVN Weekly $20.50-21 Calls. Here is the breakdown of the moves they made for us on the session:

SPY 07/05 $441-442 Calls
$441: 1.46-2.87 (+97%)
$442: .66-1.75 (+165%)

_____

AMD Weekly $115-116 Calls

Half-Day Holiday Runners, 4 New Ideas

Pre-Holiday Movers:

We left things off Monday morning in anticipation of a fairly subdued half-day of trading, but we still managed to find some good runners which provided fairly solid intraday opportunities. Apart from the pair of August ideas that were also included, which we’ll continue to keep an eye on in coming weeks, everything we highlighted made good moves for us.

Those plays were the LCID Weekly $7 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $265-275 Calls, and the DIS 07/21 $90 Calls, and here were the respectable runs they registered for Monday’s half-session.
