In Wednesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at social media platform Snap as the stock gets ready to report earnings Thursday.
The bears are back with a vengeance Wednesday with markets giving back some gains from the two-day rally…
But the flow is rolling in hot and heavy despite the sea of red as we start seeing the big stocks getting set to report over the next several days!
We’re seeing outsized options action in Snap with the company set to report Thursday after the bell.
Wondering what those little arrows mean and how they can help improve your trading? Get the details here!
Around 1 p.m. EDT, my scanners spotted institutional buyers snapping up about 900 contracts of the Nov. 4 expiration, $10.50 strike calls for $119,000 in premium… and it doesn’t stop there!
We’re also seeing some big put-selling activity in the Oct. 28, $7.50 puts…
Now to the untrained eye, that might seem bearish… But remember, these traders are looking to collect premium with the expectation the option will expire out of the money, so it’s neutral or even slightly bullish!
And it just goes to show… there’s more than one way to make a buck off of earnings events…
Personally, I’m always a fan of following institutional order flow and cheap, out-of-the-money options — in fact it’s already netted a triple-digit return for Weekly Blitz Alerts with Baker Hughes Co. (Nasdaq: BKR), reeling in a 105%* gain overnight — BOOM!
That’s why earnings season is my favorite time of year, and it’s only getting warmed up!
See the flow for yourself…
- ProPetro Holding Corp. (NYSE: PUMP): Jan. 20, 2023, $10 CALL.
- Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP): Oct. 28, $7.50 PUT.
- Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP): Nov. 4, $10.50 CALL.
- Target Corp. (NYSE: TGT): Oct.. 28, $157 CALL.
Check out my short video and I’ll break down the day’s most unusual options order flow in no time flat!
P.S. There’s something on my mind that I’ve been dying to share…
Something that can be used by traders and investors of all skill levels.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a day trader, options trader, swing trader, a casual investor or if you’re just getting started in the stock market.
It spits out buy and sell signals based on the real reasons stocks move up and down…
And I think it could influence your trading month in a BIG way.
