In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at continued earnings season flow in IT service management company Marqeta.
Marqeta is a payment processing and card issuing platform that acts as a bridge between traditional payment processors and more disruptive companies like Affirm, DoorDash and Square.
As an example of what Marqeta does, the company partnered with Square to introduce the Square Card for small business owners. With this card, owners can access their earnings immediately and without paying additional fees to do so, allowing them to reinvest in their business to keep it running.
And it seems the smart money is looking for Marqeta to continue to innovate in the fintech space. With the company due to report earnings on May 11, the big money came in to drop almost $250,000 on around 3,700 contracts of the May 20 expiration $7.50 strike calls!
With the stock currently trading around $7 per share, they’re looking for an upward move of more than 7% following the company’s earnings report.
If you don’t find Marqeta to be a game-changer, I have more order flow hitting the tape…
-
- Marqeta Inc. (Nasdaq: MQ): May 20, $7.50 CALL.
- Western Digital Corp. (Nasdaq: WDC): May 13, $60 CALL.
- PG&E Corp. (NYSE: PCG): Sept. 16, $14 CALL.
- Lucid Group Inc. (Nasdaq: LCID): June 17, $16 PUT.

P.S. We’ve all been there before… You buy the dip in your favorite stock…
But then that dip turns into a correction, and then that correction turns into a crash.
Before you know it, two to three months of gains are wiped out in two or three days.
This is what we call blowing up an account… And we see new traders make this mistake all the time.
The key here is to protect yourself by using a built-in hedge…
The hedge allows you to take full advantage of the potential upside, but when the market crash finally does come… you’re more protected.
Blitz Daily With Lance Ippolitto
At Weekly Blitz Alerts, we like to print money, baby! I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, “Lance, how do we do that? Print money? Come on…”
But in all seriousness, we follow the big fish and what they’re buying. And we do that with my proprietary Blitz Tracker, which alerts me to big, institutional options order flow throughout the day. Then we get in on these plays and follow the “smart money.”
By doing this, we cash in whether the broader market is going up, down or sideways.
The Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito is where I go over a handful of options trades that hit my Blitz Tracker each day, Monday through Thursday. I will break down the trade with the sexiest order flow and tell you exactly what I think can happen with that stock by the next day’s opening bell.
