Friday’s Big Gainers, 3 Fresh Plays

Close, But No Cigar:

Well, we NEARLY did what we set out to do on Friday, which was to seal our fourth straight week of nothing but successful daily options picks. We offered up four possibilities, and three of them delivered. Unfortunately our targets in the INTU chain were simply too deep in the money to trade volume by the time the opening bell rang. However, 19 days without a bad idea is still an absolutely incredible feat, and we’re very proud of it.

Our premarket report winners for the session were the SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls, the WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls, and the CAVA Weekly $108-110 Calls. The gains they produced more than made up for missing on a single idea:

SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls
$557:
 1.47-5.61 (+282%)
$557.50: 1.20-5.16 (+330%)

Monday’s Runners, 4 Fresh Targets

Solid Start to the Week:

We got things off to a fine start on Monday morning with the pair of plays listed in our premarket report both producing intraday gain opportunities. It was a light load in terms of big time earnings reporters on the calendar, but we made it happen all the same.

We had the EL Weekly $94-95 Calls, which fared reasonably well, and the SPY 08/19 $554-555 Calls, which went on an incredible multibag run on the day. Here’s how those performances shook out:

EL Weekly $94-95 Calls
$94:
 1.90-3.20 (+68%)
$95: 1.40-2.01 (+44%)
_____

SPY 08/19 $554-555 Calls

$554: 1.03-5.50 (+434%)
$555: .59-4.44 (+652%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
PANW Weekly $347.50-352.50 Calls
FUTU Weekly $62-63 Calls
TSLA Weekly $225-227.50 Calls
FN 09/20 $260-270 Calls


Alzamend. Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN) – Recap:

We also wanted to briefly update on the run put up by ALZN, which we flagged in our extended watchlist. Due in part to the recent news of monkeypox outbreaks, this stock ran hard from a low of 5.72 on up to 15.06, which works out to an intraday pop of 136%

Closing Out Another Top Flight Week, 3 New Plays

Reviewing Thursday’s Winners:

We couldn’t really be more pleased with our performance yesterday, keeping our record-breaking (for us, anyway) win streak intact for the 14th straight session! We are one good slate of ideas for today, away from sealing our third straight week of nothing but wins! Even more impressive when we factor in that only a single idea on the preceding Friday stands in the way of our being on a MONTH-long string of success! We’re used to our ideas doing quite well on a regular basis, but this latest run has really been stretching the envelope.

Yesterday’s slate consisted of the WMT Weekly $73-75 Calls, the CSCO Weekly $48.50-49.50 Calls, the LITE Weekly $50-52.50 Calls, the DE Weekly $355-360 Calls, and the SPY 08/15 $547-549 Calls. These were the best intraday runs they registered for Thursday’s session:

WMT Weekly $73-75 Calls
