Earnings Plays on the Move

Fidelity Intl. Information Services, Inc. FIS – Options Recap:

Our lone fresh options idea for the day in yesterday’s premarket report was in the FIS chain. The stock saw a mixed bag for the session as the company posted beats on earnings and revs in its Q2 report, while tempering guidance pulled in the other direction.

We still had some very nice intraday movement in our designated target, the FIS 09/17 $135 Calls. Those ran from 1.80 to 2.96, producing a respectable intraday upswing of 49% We feel rather certain that we will be returning to report more gains on this longer-term play, with over five weeks remaining until expiration. Stay locked in for future updates.


Catapult Solutions, Inc. CPSL:

We also wanted to provide a quick recap on CPSL, which has appeared in our watchlists a few times over the past week. We initially alerted it exactly a week ago today on the morning of July 28th.

We have now observed a very impressive move out of CPSL from a low of .0261 to yesterday’s high of .0648, which works out to a 148% run. Volume over the same period has been vastly greater than average.

Another Perfect Friday Run: 

We like to kick off every fresh trading week by going over the winners we unearthed the previous Friday, and it’s always nice when we can report a clean sweep of success on each and every idea we put forth. Such was the case with the three options targets we formulated in our premarket report on Friday morning.

We had some serious daily gainers on the radar, as all three of our selections netted chances at multibag profits on the day. In the case of SPCE, we even provided our readers with a couple opportunities at more than 1000% intraday gains! Perhaps this might help our new readers to understand why our primary focus these days is quick strike options trading.

Here are the excellent single session gains that we uncovered in Friday’s report:

Interesting Chart Plays:

Also catching our eye this morning are a couple of interesting chart setups in FibroGen, Inc. FGEN and Fastly, Inc. FSLY, and in both cases we will be watching the stocks as well as some potential options ideas.

In the case of FGEN, there are a couple of large gaps to fill to the upside, and over the past couple of sessions the stock has given indication that it may be about to do so. We’re going to be tagging the FGEN 07/16 $27.50-30 Calls for observation.

On FSLY, the gap-fill has occurred this week and the PPS is now on the verge of breaking past the 50DMA with its considerable momentum. We’ll radar the FSLY 06/25 $61-63 Calls.
