In Thursday’s Blitz Daily, we take a look at technology powerhouse Apple ahead of its third-quarter earnings report following the day’s closing bell.
Thursday’s top options flow isn’t going to come as much of a shock, because when Apple moves, it takes the entire Nasdaq with it.
Market makers have their implied move around $3.68 higher or lower for the tech titan’s earnings event — right in line with the move shares made by noon on Thursday.
So it will be interesting to find out if what we see is what we get, or if the stock will continue to break toward new record highs.
The bulls are betting AAPL has more room to run, buying call options by the truckload. Traders rolled in and picked up over 26,000 contracts of the Feb. 18, 2022 expiration $170 strike calls!
But even if Apple is played out, I have four more unusual options bets ready and waiting — including two biotech names to improve the health of your portfolio.
-
- Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL): Feb. 18, 2022 $170 CALL.
- Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE: CLF): Nov. 19 $21.5 CALL.
- Chewy Inc. (NYSE: CHWY): Oct. 29 $73 CALL.
- GlaxoSmithKline PLC (NYSE: GSK): Dec. 17 $43 CALL.
- Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE: MRK): Jan 21, 2022. $87.50 CALL.
