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

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.

Friday’s Runners, A Slate of Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Runners:

We entered into the session on Friday with a mixed bag of earnings-related options ideas, and observed some pretty good activity early on in the session, which led to chances for some nice intraday gains.

All three of Friday morning’s ideas, the NKE Weekly $112-110 Puts, the STZ Weekly $242.50-237.50 Puts, and the ACCD 07/21 $12.50-15 Calls, produced solid chances for us. Here’s the rundown of their daily performances:

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%)
$115: .30-.75 (+150%)
_____

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


Fresh Options Ideas:
NKE Weekly $112-110 Puts
STZ Weekly $242.50-237.50 Puts
ACCD 07/21 $12.50-15 Calls

Wednesday’s Winners, New Earnings Plays

Recapping Wednesday’s Movers:

We did fairly well with the options ideas we highlighted in yesterday morning’s premarket report. There were significant intraday moves for two out of our three ideas, and we strongly suspect we’ll be circling back for the third at a later date. We also have a relatively large slate of earnings reporters this morning, so we should be able to pick up the pace as we head into the end of this trading week.

The possibilities that did pan out quite well on the day Wednesday were the AVAV 07/21 $95-100 Calls, and the GIS 07/21 $75-72.50 Puts., which both produced some very nice intraday activity.

AVAV 07/21 $95-100 Calls
$95:
 2.20-3.90 (+77%)
$100: .70-1.75 (+150%)
_____

GIS 07/21 $75-72.50 Puts
$75:
 .35-.70 (+100%)
$72.50: .10-.20 (+100%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
MU Weekly $67.50-69 Calls
GBX 07/21 $35-40 Calls
PAYX 07/21 $110-115 Calls
