Power Plays New Idea: BIDU Calls + Closing GOOGL Calls
July 22, 2025

By Scott Redler

We'll kick off the day by taking this action:

Close the GOOGL 7/25 $185 Calls

I want to lock in the final gain here on this set of calls into earnings tomorrow.

However, I am considering a fresh set of GOOGL calls so watch out for alerts.

I may also have a play on Tesla (TSLA).

********

Next, I'm adding this new idea to Power Plays Options:

Long BIDU August 15 $95 Calls

These calls look good in the $2.35 to $2.75 area (or lower).

Baidu (BIDU) has been lagging despite a stream of positive news, yet it still lags other China names and ETF's.

So I expect the stock to play rapid-fire catchup in the next couple of weeks.

Stay tuned for more updates.

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.
