Fresh Earnings and Form-4 Plays

Yesterday’s Clean Sweep:

We fared quite well yesterday morning with our first options targets of the week from our premarket report. We had presented four possibilities, and ended up seeing some pretty good intraday movement from each of them. The pickings are slim with regard to earnings reporters, but we had a relatively decent selection to work with.

We ended up tracking the WBA Weekly $30-29 Puts, the SNX 07/21 $90 Puts, the KFY 07/21 $50 Puts and the AXON 07/21 $190-195 Calls. They produced the following intraday runs, and total possible gains: 

WBA Weekly $30-29 Puts

Recapping Our Most Recent Movers:

We are off to a very rare late start this week, so let us first apologize for the unusual absence of a premarket report for yesterday’ session. Our data was temporarily down, so what we’ll do now that we’re back up and running, is go over the moves we’ve seen from the options ideas contained in Friday’s premarket report, then we’ll take a look at where we’re at today in terms of some fresh ideas to consider going forward.

Options Gains, Fresh Ideas & More

Options Review:

As we cruise right past the halfway point of this holiday shortened week, we’re heading into another period of an exceptionally meager earnings calendar. It will be more than a month before we begin to see a plethora of daily reporters, but as always we will strive our hardest to bring you quality ideas on a daily basis.

Yesterday we managed to hit on three of our four sets of new ideas, with the fourth being longer-term October calls that will need some time to realize their potential. Our successful targets were the PATH 09/17 $65-55 Puts, the COUP Weekly $265-275 Calls, and the KFY 09/17 $70-80 Calls. We got some really nice intraday activity out of each of those plays.

Our 2000% Runner & More

Huge Moves in KC, SLQT:

As usual, to start things off this morning, we’ve got some updates on some excellent options calls we’ve made recently, both with an expiration date of next Friday.

We signaled the KC 09/17 $30-35 Calls on the morning of August 25th, and the SLQT 09/17 $7.50-10 Calls first appeared in our report last Tuesday. We have already updated readers on both of these plays, but they have both continued to press to new highs, increasing the total possible gains to which we’ve had access.

They were both multi-bag ideas already but the updated figures have really impressed, especially the KC $35’s which have soared more than 2000%. Here are those gains now: 

KC 09/17 $30-35 Calls 
$30: .60-6.00 (+900%)
$35: .10-2.40 (+2300%)

Excellent Options Plays & More

Moderna Inc. MRNA – Update: 

On Monday morning, we began tracking some August calls in the MRNA chain, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. In yesterday’s report, we updated readers on the modest moves they made, and also issued an added idea in the MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls, just to make things even more interesting.

Both sets of ideas have flourished as MRNA has posted two excellent daily performances in a row, rising from around $200 to more than $220. That has facilitated some highly respectable moves in every last one of our designated targets.

Here are the two-day ranges on the August calls and the intraday run recorded by the weeklies yesterday:

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-36.05 (+53%)
$200: 18.00-33.47 (+86%)
$210: 13.55-27.50 (+103%)
