Thursday’s Bangers, 4-Pack of New Targets

A Thunderous Thursday:

Thursday was another fantastic session for the options trading ideas we put forth in our morning report. We swept the board yet again, coming up with nothing but winners for the day. Coming up in the next week or so, we have a lot of big name earnings reports hitting the wires, so we fully expect to continue rocking with tons of excellent potential targets!

Thursday’s interests were comprised of the SNOW Weekly $180-175 Puts, the MNST 03/15 $57.50-60 Calls, the OKTA Weekly $107-110 Calls and the CRH 03/15 $80-85 Calls. The intraday upswings they recorded for us were as follows:

NFLX Calls Break Out, Fresh Plays

Big Time Gains from NFLX:

We went two for three on our designated options targets for yesterday’s session in our morning report, which isn’t too shabby. The third set has its expiration at the end of next week, so we’ll have some time to see if it’s going to make the move we suspected.

Meanwhile, we’ll go over the intraday runs posted by the winning ideas, which were the NFLX Weekly 207.50-215 Calls, and the BKR 08/19 $26-25 Puts. The latter posted respectable moves, but it was the former which exploded for us even as NFLX reported a loss of roughly one million subscribers for the quarter. That didn’t stop the onslaught of huge gains that it made, which you’ll see just below:

NFLX Weekly 207.50-215 Calls
$207.50: 3.70-11.07 (+199%)
$210: 3.00-9.35 (+212%)
$212.50: 2.37-7.65 (+223%)
$215: 1.80-6.20 (+244%)

BKR 08/19 $26-25 Puts
$26: 1.56-2.45 (+57%)
$25: 1.35-1.80 (+33%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 07/22 $394-395 Calls
CSX Weekly $30-31 Calls
T Weekly $21-19.50 Puts
UAL Weekly $40-39 Puts
LVS Weekly $37.50-38.50 Calls

Net Savings Link Inc. NSAV – OTC Recap:

We’ve also got a brief update to give on NSAV, which appeared in yesterday’s extended watchlist, and put up a reasonable performance on the day. The stock traded up from a low of .0072, broke the barrier into Pennyland, and hit .0109. A relatively modest gain of 51%, but we’re going to keep an eye peeled for further activity in the sessions to come. The move came on one of the highest volume days of the year.

Fresh Ideas for Big Name Earnings & More

Weekly Options Pop Off:

The back and forth choppiness of the markets recently has really been something to see, and after a rough start to the week on Monday, yesterday’s session flipped and went very bullish. Of the three quick-strike options trading ideas that we formulated in our premarket report, all three produced some very nice gain opportunities. We’ll hold off on the set of August calls we hashed out for NVS, and just focus on the short term plays.

Those contract sets targeted were the HAL Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls, the JNJ Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls, and the IBM Weekly $134-131 Puts. They all turned in good cards for the day, and provided ourselves and our readers with the following intraday gain chances:

HAL Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls
$28.50: .80-1.29 (+61%)
$29: .53-.99 (+87%)
$29.50: .40-.70 (+75%)

Solid Options Plays, Fresh Ideas & More

WD-40 Company WDFC – Options Update:

As we close out this holiday-shortened week, we’ll start off by giving an update on the options idea we put forth in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We were looking at the WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls on the heels of the company’s earnings drop from the day prior.

The stock itself ran to nearly $280 before tapering back and that provided some very nice intraday gain opportunities for anyone who had caught our alert. Here are the intraday trading ranges and total possible gains on those targets:

WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls
$250: 20.32-26.15 (+29%)
$260: 7.81-16.67 (+113%)
$270: 4.31-8.18 (+90%)

Carver Bancorp Inc. CARV – Recap:

Additionally, we want to go over the performance of CARV following its inclusion in yesterday’s extended watchlist. A short-squeeze provided an excellent intraday move for a stock in this price range.

CARV ran from 16.61 to a new high of 38.87 on the day marking an upswing of 134% on volume of over 82X the 30-day moving average!

Extended-Term Options Plays Paying Off

Reviewing Winning Ideas:

We typically focus more on options expiring at the end of a given week, there are certainly occasions when we target those with expiration dates weeks, or sometimes even months into the future. Which way it falls is often determined by the setup and conditions in which we find a play.

Today, we’re going to go over the recent moves made by a few of the longer-term options ideas to grace our watchlist recently. We signaled the DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls in our report last Thursday morning, June 24th, and just a few sessions prior on the morning of the 21st we alerted the TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls and the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls.

Take a look at the fantastic multi-bag upswings that we’ve witnessed in the short time we’ve been tracking these options:

DRI 07/16 $140-145 Calls
$140: 2.71-8.65 (+219%)
145: 1.10-4.60 (+318%)
_____

TBIO 08/20 $17.50-20 Calls
$17.50: 2.88-10.15 (+252%)
$20: 1.65-8.40 (+409%)

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.29-48.35 (+108%)
$200: 18.07-51.00 (+182%)
$210: 13.58-41.00 (+202%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY Weekly $430-432 Calls
SPCE Weekly $51-53 Calls

Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Recap:

Like a couple of the above-mentioned plays, we signaled MRIN in our report on the morning of June 24th on the basis of the stock alone. We didn’t even need options to leverage with this play as it has continued to soar to new highs.

Yesterday MRIN hit 21.68, which from our observed low of 2.56 registers as an increase 747% of in just a week’s time for this NASDAQ-listed stock!
