In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take another look at computing cornerstone Apple after a spike in options activity.
Stocks came hot out of the gate to start Monday as the tech-heavy Nasdaq jumped as much as 1.7% from Friday’s closing price.
Shares of Apple led the charge up the charts after the Wall Street Journal reported the top tech firm has contacted its manufacturers outside of China about increasing production.
On its most recent earnings call, Apple CEO Tim Cook warned April’s COVID-19 lockdowns in the Shanghai region could impact second quarter revenue by as much $8 billion.
The news helped spike Apple stock as much as 4% during Monday’s session with bullish buyers pouring into the options chain.
We spotted one trader sweeping up about 1,800 contracts of the June 17 expiration, $152.50 calls for around $270,000 in options premium!
And if you’re looking for more supercharged options action, I have six more trades waiting inside…
Of course, that’s not the only stock hitting the tape Monday. Check out these top trades…

P.S. My team and I have been working on a brand-new trading indicator for the better part of this year…
We’ve code-named this initiative Project X.
But before we roll it out as a full-blown trading strategy, we need to make sure the system is as rock solid as we believe it to be…
So far, our system has signaled winning positions in TSLA, AMD, COIN, UPST and PYPL.*
Now I want to take our testing to the next level — and I need your help!
I’m looking for around 100 traders interested in beta testing this new indicator over the next couple of months.
Of course, I don’t expect traders to jump in sight unseen, so I’ve put together a small demonstration on how it works…
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.
