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%)

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!

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%)
_____

MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls.
$210: 5.20-13.50 (+160%)
$212.50: 4.32-11.00 (+155%)

Korn Ferry KFY – Recap:

Also new in yesterday’s premarket offerings were our targets in the KFY options chain. We signaled interest in tracking the KFY Weekly $65-70 Calls, and are pleased to report that those contracts made monster moves on the day.

KFY Weekly $65-70 Calls
$65: 2.00-6.10 (+205%)
$70: .55-3.00 (+445%)

Multiple Updates, Fresh Ideas

PHI Group, Inc. PHIL – Recap:

We’re back this morning with another update on PHI, a stock we’ve been tracking for a couple weeks now. We initially tagged this play in our June 8th report, and have been following along ever since. Subsequent to that alert, the stock registered a low of .0055 before taking off to new highs.

We reported an update on PHIL’s activity a week ago today, however this new trading week has brought still more new highs for this stock, with the PPS hitting .0185 yesterday. That works out to an overall move of 236%  Even if you only caught last week’s update on PHIL, you still could have caught a solid move from .0082 to yesterday high of .0185 which represents a move of 126%

Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. SWBI – Recap:

We rode some SWBI options for really nice gains between last week and this week as we mentioned in yesterday’s report, but with another huge surge in the stock to open up the week, the percentage gains in SWBI stock itself have become notable.

When we issued our idea on Friday, SWBI traded for as little as 20.75, and as of its newly registered high yesterday of 28.18, that marks a two-day swing of 36%, which is nothing to sneeze at for a $20+ stock.

Moderna Inc. MRNA – Review:

Just to provide a quick update on our MRNA options idea that we issued yesterday- despite choosing a longer-term set of contracts, we did see instant gratification as MRNA spiked on the day and provided for a very good start for our tracked contracts, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls.

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-27.85 (+19%)
$200: 18.00-25.10 (+39%)
$210: 13.55-19.95 (+47%)

We’ll add some weekly targets into the mix as well with the MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls.
