Finishing Out the Trading Week with a Bang

Options Blowout Continues:

In yesterday morning ‘s premarket report, two of our three sets of fresh options ideas were bearish in nature, and despite the markets going on a tear for the session, it was those puts that fared the best.

We’re talking about the CI Weekly $225 Puts, and the ROKU Weekly $395-390 Puts, both of which recorded multi-bag intraday runs on the day. Those figures were as follows: 

CI Weekly $225 Puts
$45: 9.50-24.50 (+158%)
_____

ROKU Weekly $395-390 Puts
$395: 4.31-10.02 (+132%)
$392.50: 3.73-8.12 (+118%)
$390: 2.92-7.30 (+150%)


Moderna, Inc. MRNA – Update:

We also wanted to swing back around to provide an update on the MRNA Calls that we initially began tracking on June 21st, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. The stock itself has exploded over that time period, from a low of 200.00 the day of our first alert, to yesterday’s new high of 443.99, a move of 122%  That move has facilitated these amazing gains in our designated options plays:

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-222.50 (+847%)
$200: 18.00-241.10 (+1239%)
$210: 13.55-214.50 (+1483%)



eXp World Holdings Inc. EXPI – Update:


We’ve also been following another set of longer term calls, the EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Call, which continue to pile on the new highs for us.

EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Calls
$40: 1.55-10.00 (+545%)
$45: 1.30-5.70 (+338%)

These gains were made possible in part by the buzz caused by the company’s blockbuster earnings report and first-ever cash dividends. We will look to roll up our strike area to include the $50 Calls as well, with EXPI appearing ready to continue its impressive upward trajectory.

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.

EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Calls

Earnings Plays Paying Off: 

We entered a nice mix of options plays both bearish and bullish in our report yesterday morning based on earnings. We were targeting contracts in the TSLA, GE, and RTX chains, specifically the UPS Weekly $210-205 Puts, the GE Weekly $12.50-13 Calls, and the RTX Weekly $86.50-87.50 Calls.

Those targets recorded some very respectable moves on the day, with a fair few breaking into double-bag territory. We can’t always guarantee that our daily ideas will bear fruit, but it’s always nice when we score a 100% success rate. For our newer readers, this actually happens with a frequency that we’re very proud of, and believe you will be impressed with!

Here were the intraday ranges and total possible gains in those plays: 

UPS Weekly $210-205 Puts
$210:
12.70-19.55 (+50%)
$207.50: 11.01-16.79 (+51%)

We’d also like to recap the performance of an OTC play we’ve been tracking this month. We tagged PBYA in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist and the stock ran for a respectable 56% from .0085-.0133.

For anyone who caught our earlier alert on this play a few weeks ago on the 7th, subsequent to which time it was trading for as little as .0035, yesterday’s high represented an overall move of 280%

We were after the TSLA Weekly $645-650 Calls and the HAS Weekly $94.50-96 Calls, and they both exhibited the activity we were looking for on the day. With the exception of one set in our designated ranges, the HAS $94.50’s, the rest of our targets produced excellent results.

Here were the daily ranges and total gains on the table for yesterday’s ideas:

TSLA Weekly $645-650 Calls 
$645: 23.80-35.80 (+50%)

OTC Recaps:

Signature Devices Inc. SDVI – We’ve been tracking SDVI all month long, with mentions on the 1st of July, as well as another last week, and a tag in yesterday’s report. Over that time span, this super-subpenny play has made a fairly decent run and approached subpenny territory.

Subsequent to our initial alert on the 1st, the stock has made a 200% run from .0003-.0009. We’ll continue to watch for the stock’s breach into double-zero figures in the days ahead.
_____

CyberLux Corp. CYBL – Speaking of plays we’ve been on top of for the month of July, CYBL has appeared many times since the end of last month, in our report on June 28th. It would see a low of .0045 and after four solid weeks of incremental gains, the stock hit .0167 to start the week off yesterday. That marks a move of 271%

A New Earnings Season Commences

Moderna Inc. MRNA – Options Runners: 

We closed out the week on Friday morning by highlighting the nice moves made by the August contracts we’ve been tracking since June 21st,  the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. Additionally, we included some fresh weekly targets in the MRNA Weekly $265-$280 Calls.

Despite a rather poor day for the markets in general, Moderna continued to add impressively to its recent bullish surge. The stock has been in a general upward trend for the entire year, but that really kicked into overdrive over the past week.

Here are the new highs and total increases posted by our August calls, as well as the intraday ranges and total possible gains on the weeklies. Very impressive figures across the board: 

MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls
$195: 23.50-93.23 (+297%)
$200: 18.00-88.85 (+394%)
$210: 13.55-78.66 (+480%)

MRNA Weekly $265-$280 Calls

$195: 1.27-9.95 (+683%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

Just a reminder, another earnings season is going to heat up quickly with hundreds of companies slated to report this week, hundreds more next week, and so on. The remainder of July and much of August should yield a wealth of opportunities in that department.

This morning we’re going to be looking at a potential post-earnings play in Auto Nation and a chart play idea for Airbnb:

AN 08/20 $100-105 Calls
ABNB 09/17 $135-145 Calls
