Thursday’s Movers, Friday’s Targets

Options Recap:

As we head into the end of what has been a very productive week, we’re going to take a minute to reflect on the excellent job we’ve done weathering the earnings drought which is set to end on Monday day morning. We’re sure to have plenty of ideas to come from that, but in the meantime, we’ve held our own with our daily options ideas.

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%)

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%

Kicking Off Another Short Trading Week

Options Play Review: 

Heading into the long weekend on Friday, we took just one stab at a set of potential quick-strike weekly targets. We went to the short side on Micron Technology and thanks in part to an early dip in the markets, that idea yielded a pretty good set of runners.

We were zeroed in on the MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts which produced the following multi-bag intraday runs for us:

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
$53.50: 
.66-2.06 (+212%)
$53: .43-1.65 (+284%)
$52: .20-.85 (+325%)

Additionally, we wanted to do a quick recap of a couple of the plays we signaled interest in earlier in the week. We flagged ideas in General Mills and McCormick in Wednesday morning’s report that finished out the week with strength and posted new highs. Our targets were the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which put up the following trading ranges and total possible gains between Wednesday and Friday.

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 1.69-5.90 (+249%)
$72.50: .75-3.50 (+367%)

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts

Gain Clients, Inc. GCLT – OTC Recap:

We also have a brief update on GCLT, an OTC stock we flagged in Friday morning’s extended watchlist. The made a very respectable intraday move, running from a low of .018 on up to a high of .0349. That works out to a single-session rip of 94% and that came on its second-highest daily volume ever recorded, with the previous session being the first.

We’ve seen an increase from a low of .0005 on up to .0019, which marks a rise of 280%

Options Review, New Ideas & More

Winnebago Calls Run Quickly: 

In yesterday’s report, we went with a selection of July calls in what we would consider ‘longer-term’ ideas. For quick-strike plays we would typically look for contracts that expired at the end of the week. Out of those, the Winnebago calls produced instant results. We’ll continue to monitor these, along with the other potential plays we mentioned yesterday, over the next few weeks before they expire. Today’s fresh ideas will also include several July calls.

The specific targets that took off immediately during yesterday’s session were the  WGO 07/15 $45-50 Calls
and the moves they made were as follows:

WGO 07/15 $45-50 Calls
$45: 
3.00-5.45 (+82%)
$50: .95-2.46 (+159%)

Tuesday morning
, and it ran to new highs yesterday. Following our mention of this play, it traded up from a low of .0008 to .0025, which marks a two-day swing of 212%
