Options Keep Winning, New Ideas

Options Review: 

In yesterday morning’s report, we followed up Friday’s flawless options interests with another clean sweep of our board. The first half of the session featured quite a bit of volatility for the markets as a whole, allowing for some pretty nice intraday swings for our designated options targets. NKE and TCOM ran into their post-market earnings. NKE beat on earnings but slipped on sales, while TCOM looks in good shape after China loosened its COVID travel restrictions. We’ll be monitoring those closely today again.

The plays we signaled interest in tracking yesterday were the NKE Weekly $113-115 Calls, the TCOM 07/15 $24-26 Calls, and the SPY 06/27 $389-391 Calls. All of those experienced noteworthy moves, and additionally, the DRI 07/15 $120-125 Calls that we flagged this past Thursday also extended its run and posted new highs, which you’ll find below. The overall moves and total possible profits so far on those plays amount to the following:

NKE Weekly $113-115 Calls
$113:
 3.00-3.80 (+27%)

Smooth Move on the SPY, Earnings Plays & More

Flip to SPY Calls Proves Timely: 

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, just one out of the three options ideas we put forth was a quick-strike play, and that was our spur of the moment bullish take on the SPY. After multiple recent sessions of rooting out solid gain opportunities from SPY Puts (On Friday and Monday) we flipped to the other side of the fence just in time to catch yesterday’s market rally.

That led to some very nice multibag profit chances on the day from our targeted range, the SPY 06/15 $374-376 Calls. Those big-time moves were as follows:

SPY 06/15 $374-376 Calls
$374: 2.13-9.47 (+345%)
$375: 1.74-8.70 (+400%)
$376: 1.46-7.80 (+434%)

ProText Mobility, Inc. TXTM – Update:

We’ve been updating readers on new highs in TXTM for the last few sessions, with the stock pushing the envelope more each day. Following yesterday’s report, it set another new high of .0113, crossing the border from subpenny status into penny-plus territory.

Our original low following our initial alert on the stock (May 24th) was .0016. From that level, yesterday’s high represents an overall increase of 606% Even if traders only caught on with our mention on Monday morning, they would still be looking at a three-day upswing of 115% from .0045-.0113.

Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, Fresh Ideas

SPY Calls Surge on Market Pop:

We had just some daily SPY Calls and a longer term idea in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the latter of which isn’t really primed for an immediate update, but we most certainly came down on the right side of the fence with the SPY. The markets ripped all day long, and provided us with the catalyst for some really nice intraday gain opportunities.

We were tracking the SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls, and all three of the contract sets contained within recorded huge multibag runs for us. The total possible daily gains were as follows:

SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls
$391:
 2.04-6.82 (+234%)
$392: 1.58-5.81 (+268%)
$393: 1.19-5.05 (+324%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls
WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls
ZM Weekly $91.50-93 Calls


Watchlist Runners:

We saw some solid movement out of some of the plays off of yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. CBIO ran following the announcement of a $60M asset sale to Vertex, while GOVX was another stock boosted by the rising concerns over monkeypox, which has officially made its way to the US, and seems to a hot-button catalyst for related plays at the moment. .

Catalyst Biosciences, Inc. CBIO
Daily Range:
.90-1.47
Gained: +63%

GeoVax Labs, Inc. GOVX
Daily Range: 1.65-2.85
Gained: +73%
