In Thursday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at top tech stock Apple as options activity heats up heading into earnings.
Earnings season is back and claiming its first casualties as big banks failed to impress Thursday morning…
And who said to avoid the boring banks during Wednesday’s WealthPress Live Roundtable? You bet I did!
Sure, those stocks might have a great book value, but that didn’t keep those financial names from getting crushed!
Not like I’d be interested in trading those stocks. As you know, I’m an aggressive trader.
My strategies don’t target long-term investments that lock up cash for months or years. Instead, I follow institutional order flow into short-term, inexpensive options because the way I see it, they offer better reward for the risk!
So where am I seeing aggressive flow Thursday? Well look no farther than the King of the Tech world, Apple.
The iPhone maker is set to report earnings in just two weeks at its July 28 event, and bullish traders laid down a massive bet that Apple will come out on top…
Big money traders came in and scooped up around 1,200 contracts of the Aug. 22 expiration, $155 strike calls for about $300,000 in premium!
And there were other big-money options flow that caught my attention today. There’s two more trade ideas waiting below…
- Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL): Aug. 26, $155 CALL.
- Meta Platforms Inc. (Nasdaq: META): July 15, $157.50 CALL.
- Six Flags Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: SIX): Aug. 19, $22.50 CALL.
Check out the short video, see me slam some calls, and I’ll break down the day’s most unusual options order flow in no time flat!
