Options Recaps, 4 New Ideas

Quick Strike Plays Come Through:

We’re anxiously counting down the days until next week when a flood of big name earnings are going to start dropping, but in the meantime, we have managed to root out a good amount of quality gain opportunities. Yesterday morning’s premarket report included two fresh possibilities and they both delivered some nice moves on the day.

Our exact targets were the PEP Weekly $167.50-172.50 Calls, and the ETWO Weekly $7.50 Puts. Both stocks recorded the right activity to enable the following upswings and total possible gain chances:

PEP Weekly $167.50-172.50 Calls
$167.50: 3.58-4.95 (+38%)
$170: 1.92-3.10 (+61%)
$172.50: .78-1.61 (+106%)

ETWO Weekly $7.50 Puts
$7.50: .35-1.35 (+286%)

TWTR Weekly $34-34.50 Calls
DAL Weekly $30.50-29.50 Puts
FAST Weekly $52.50-50 Puts
SPY 07/13 $378-375 Puts*

*Trading options on their day of expiration can carry a heightened level of risk and should only be attempted by seasoned traders.

Stock and Options Updates, Fresh Plays

Options Review:

Despite the fresh trading week opening up with a fizzle instead of a bang, both of the quick-strike sets of potential options targets we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report were still able to produce.

The targets in question were the DWAC Weekly $27-28 Calls, and the AZZ Weekly $40 Calls. The DWAC calls certainly came through as the top play of the day, while AZZ turned in relatively nominal gains. We’ll continue to monitor those for further activity as the week progress. In the meantime, the DWAC chain provided us with multiple multi-bag gain opportunities on the day:

DWAC Weekly $27-28 Calls
$27: 2.27-5.20 (+129%)
$27.50: 1.85-4.35 (+135%)
$28: 1.92-4.10 (+114%)

AZZ Weekly $40 Calls
$40: 2.20-2.80 (+27%)

Friday’s Big Movers, Fresh Targets

Fridays Big Movers:

We finished out the week on a high note Friday, with both of the potential options plays we signaled in our premarket report posting good gains on the day. We’ve got just this week to get through, and we’ll be back in the midst of another earnings season. As most of our readers should know by now, we swear by the volatility produced by big-name earnings reporters, and it has been a long 6 weeks of the same being few and far between.

As for Friday’s ideas, we were honed in on the LEVI Weekly $17 Calls, and the WDFC 07/15 $190-185 Calls, . The Levi calls were far and away the hotter idea, but WD-40 also recorded some very nice moves for us.

LEVI Weekly $17 Calls
$17: .05-.47 (+840%)
_____

WDFC 07/15 $190-185 Calls
$190: 1.79-3.50 (+96%)
$185: .53-1.90 (+258%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
AZZ Weekly $40 Calls
AMK 11/18 $20 Calls

Putting a Cap on a Fruitful Short Week

Options Review:

We went bearish on the pair of options ideas that we highlighted for yesterday morning’s premarket report, and they posted some pretty nice intraday moves, considering the markets as a whole went on an impressive daily run.

Our areas of interest were the HELE 07/15 $160-150 Puts, and the SLP Weekly $55-50 Puts. Both ranges of contracts yielded two separate chances to pocket multibag proceeds on the day, with the SLP $50 Puts stealing the show on the strength of a massive four-bagger. Those potential gains were as follows:

HELE 07/15 $160-150 Puts
$160: 7.80-10.30 (+32%)
$155: 2.55-6.40 (+151%)
$150: 1.54-3.25 (+111%)
_____

SLP Weekly $55-50 Puts
$55: 1.60-4.00 (+150%)
$50: .15-.88 (+487%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
LEVI Weekly $17 Calls*
WDFC 07/15 $190-185 Calls

*Trading options on their day of expiration can carry a heightened level of risk and should only be attempted by seasoned traders.

United Maritime Corp. USEA – NASDAQ Recap:

Our daily extended watchlists are typically a mix of the stocks from both the upper and lower exchanges, and while we usually don’t see the type of quick gains USEA posted yesterday from a NASDAQ stock, it did post a solid daily run and is gapping up in premarket trading this morning. The stock traded for as little as 6.16 a share following yesterday’s alert, and this morning it has reached as high as 10.12 in early trading, which represents an overnight increase of 64%

SPY Calls Break Out, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps:

On the options trading front, we are making our way through the earnings drought as best we can recently, and doing a fairly good job of it if we say so ourselves. We’re in for another week-plus of this, with the days of having plenty of earnings reporters on the calendar set to return on Monday the 18th.

For now, we’ll keep plugging away and taking whatever we can get, and for yesterday’s report that came in the form of the SPY 07/06 $380-382 Calls which absolutely ripped, and the RFP 07/15 $17.50-20 Calls. Additionally, we’ve got some new highs to report in the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls which we alerted on last Wednesday.

SPY 07/06 $380-382 Calls
$380: 1.45-5.92 (+308%)
$381: 1.05-4.85 (+362%)
$382: .67-3.85 (+477%)

OTC Updates:

We have a couple of OTC stocks that have been mentioned in recent extended watchlists to update readers on this morning as well. We always try to flag potential plays on the lower exchanges in our watchlists, and very often, it bears significant fruit.

We mentioned HMBL on Tuesday morning and the stock has posted an intraweek run from .048-.0992 which marks an upswing of 107%, and this past Thursday we signaled EMGE which has made a rip-roaring move of 273% from .0082-.0306 in just a week’s time.
