Another Fantastic Options Trading Week!

Massive Options Success!

We decided to cover a little more ground than usual in yesterday’s premarket report, and take five chances on a quintet of options ideas for some of the biggest names reporting their quarterlies.

Reviewing Yesterday’s Ideas, Highlighting New Ones

Reviewing Yesterday’s Plays

We had a number of bearish options ideas that we listed in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and thanks to a lackluster performance for the markets at large, as well as ongoing concerns about the rapidly spreading coronavirus, we got some early returns off of those targets.

The gains are modest so far, but we’ll continue to track the lot of them as the week progresses.  

DAL Weekly $57-56 Puts
$57: 1.20-1.90 (+58%)
$56.50: .96-1.56 (+62%)
$56: .78-1.18  (+51%)
_____

UAL Weekly $80-79 Puts
$80: 2.77-3.75 (+35%)
$79: 2.00-3.00 (+50%)
_____

SPY Weekly $325-322 Puts*
$325: 1.85-2.92 (+58%)
$322: .97-1.65 (+70%)

*There were a couple other SPY contracts within this range, that produced similar gains to those listed above.

Fresh Ideas

We’re feeling bearish on airlines at the present time, especially considering the current viral outbreak which has spread from China by way of air travel. We’re going to formulate a number of options ideas for the week based off that sentiment. There are other economic fears related to the coronavirus as well, which are giving stocks in general a rough go of things as we kick off this fresh trading week. 

UAL Weekly $80-79 Puts
AAL $27-50 26.50 Puts
DAL Weekly $57-56 Puts
SPY Weekly $325-322 Puts

Kiwa Biotech Products Group Corp. KWBT

We began tracking KWBT in December, after which time we observed a low of .018 in the stock. After a really solid first month of the new year, the stock has made quite a bit of progress.

On Friday KWBT reached .052, which represents a fantastic increase of 189% in the month we’ve been tracking it.
