Buy the DraftKings (DKNG) January 25 Call (exp. 1/19/2024) for $5 or less.

Our BABA and DIS positions are not working as the stocks have performed poorly after earnings in the last two weeks. It’s time to throw in the towel on both of those positions so we can move that capital into an earnings season winner, DKNG.

DKNG is one of a handful of earnings season winners I have had interest in buying. And since that earnings release traders have been aggressively buying longer-term call buys, including these trades the last two days:

Buyer of 6,000 DraftKings (DKNG) January 25 Calls for $4.50 – Stock at 24.2

Buyer of 3,000 DraftKings (DKNG) December 35 Calls for $1.48 – Stock at 25.

Let’s get involved with DKNG with a longer-term position, that is targeting a move higher well beyond this week’s debt ceiling market wobbles.

To execute this trade you need to:
Buy to Open the DKNG January 25 Call.

The most you can lose on this trade is the premium paid, or $500 per call purchased.

Stepping back, I’ve been adding earnings season winners in UBER, BSX and now DKNG, targeting a move higher later this year. The longer-term call buys should somewhat shelter us from the market pulling in if our friends in Washington, D.C. play with fire the next couple of weeks.

Finally, while the premiums collected via our sales of BABA and DIS are not large ($2.75 and $1.25) I am putting that capital right into our DKNG call buy, of which I am buying a full position.
