Sweeping the Board with Options Runners

Clean Options Sweep:

Amid a huge day for the markets yesterday, our daily options ideas also bore fruit. We’ve missed on exactly one of the many targets we’ve formulated all week, demonstrating a fairly routine level of accuracy for us. Our regular readers are surely accustomed to our high hit rate, and as for all of you newcomers, you will begin to see that we run a pretty tight ship around here. Each day consists of a review of the previous sessions interests, a grouping of fresh options ideas wherever possible, and an extended watchlist of both small and large cap stocks to watch based on their premarket activity.

Yesterday’s premarket report brought three ideas for the day, and those targets were the MRNA Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls, the SBUX Weekly $84-86 Calls, and the PYPL Weekly $98-101 Calls, with MRNA and SBUX both showing out as the big winners. Here are the intraday moves recorded by our designated plays:

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%)

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.

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%)

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

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
NFLX 07/22 $185-190 Calls

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.

Options Performance on the Week Remains Flawless

More Options Review:

It has been a really good stretch for us with regard to our daily options ideas. We have been firing on all cylinders for several consecutive sessions, with yesterday’s slate of three all turning in excellent cards for the day., even our idea of the August calls in AXSM that was meant for a longer period of observation.

Our specific areas of interest in yesterday’s premarket report were the SPY 06/29 $390-392 Calls, the CHK 07/15 $85-90 Calls, and the AXSM 08/19 $35-30 Puts. The SPY ran hard in the very early goings before the markets slid during the rest of the session, but that early push was more than enough to facilitate some nice moves for us. Those gains were as follows:

SPY 06/29 $390-392 Calls
$390: 3.00-4.75 (+58%)
$391: 2.49-4.03 (+62%)

Another Flip on the SPY, Fresh Ideas

Options Review:

It has been a stellar week for options trading, despite the markets having their hiccups. Yesterday was another mixed bag in terms of the overall sentiment, but both of the quick strike options plays we were tracking in our premarket report produced immediate results for us. The volatility afforded by recent market conditions has been a real plus for daytraders.

Our designated targets for yesterday’s session were the SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts, and the DIS Weekly $101-98 Puts, and there were multi-bag intraday opportunities across the board in both ranges. Below, we’re going to flip our stance on the SPY as well, something we’ve done successfully many times in recent sessions, so be sure to read on past yesterday’s performance figures to find those fresh targets.

SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts
$392: 2.40-8.02 (+197%)
$391: 2.02-7.30 (+262%)
$390: 1.74-6.60 (+279%)
