Power Plays Options New Idea: AAPL Calls
+ Trim SMCI & FXI Calls
July 15, 2025
By Scott Redler
To start, we'll take two actions for Power Plays Options:
- Trim 1/3 of the SMCI 8/1 $52 Calls (leaving us with 1/3)
- Trim 1/3 of the FXI 8/8 $37.50 Calls (leaving us with 2/3)
Both these positions are doing nicely today and I want to exercise some risk management by reducing size here.

Next I'm adding this new idea to Power Plays Options:
- Long AAPL July 25 $215 Calls
These calls look good in the $1.85 to $2.15 area.
Apple's (AAPL) chart is strengthening and the stock looks like it will have an early pre-earnings rally.
The report is on July 31, but I expect the move to happen by next week.

These are not Power Plays ideas.
About Power Plays Options
Thank you for joining Scott's first dedicated options service as one of our charter members.
Since PPO is an all-new service, we may adjust some aspects of the format and content in the coming weeks. But, the focus will remain on providing high quality ideas for you to consider.
Depending upon the name, Scott may not introduce a specific exit plan at the time of idea initiation. This is because options prices can move so far so fast, and Scott prioritizes flexibility.
However, if Power Plays removes an options idea (whether it's up or down), Scott will notify you with an alert.
