Reviewing Options Success, New Targets

Winning Options Review:

It would seem that more often than not, especially recently, that we turn in a full slate of successful options ideas, and yesterday was no exception to that. We floated three potential options ideas to track in our premarket report yesterday morning, and all three came back with positive performances on the day. Those were the CRM Weekly $170-175 Calls, the VSCO 06/17 $45 Calls, and the CPRI Weekly $49-52 Calls.

We also mentioned yesterday that we’d hold off on a successful idea from Tuesday’s report, the DELL 06/17 $50-52.50 Calls, and after another solid day it tacked onto those gains. Here are the two-day swing figures from that target, as well as the single session moves made by our trio of fresh plays from yesterday.

Closing Out the Week on a High Note

Sweeping Success for Earnings-Related Options Ideas:

Focusing primarily upon big name companies that have just released their earnings reports for our daily options ideas is our standard mode of operation, and for good cause. It’s generally the most straightforward way to find plays with the kind of volatility needed for sizable single-session gain opportunities.

Add in the fact that the markets put forth another rip-roaring performance yesterday, and we were met with yet another clean sweep of our daily board, seeing gains in all four of our designated targets from yesterday’s premarket report.

We were tracking the DLTR Weekly $149-155 Calls, the DG Weekly $212.50-217.50 Calls, the BABA Weekly $84-86 Calls, and the SPLK Weekly $94-97 Calls. Here were the daily ranges and total possible intraday profits that they yielded:

DLTR Weekly $149-155 Calls
$149: 
10.02-13.79 (+38%)
$150: 7.00-13.55 (+94%)

Recaps from the Short Week, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps: 

Our options idea for the TWTR chain from Thursday morning’s premarket report returned good intraday results despite the stock trending in the wrong direction. The markets were subdued on Thursday, but that also played well into the bearish ideas we had signaled in the two sessions prior. On Tuesday we signaled some puts in the KMX chain, and on Wednesday, we added JPM to the mix. In both cases, Thursday’s session brought new highs for us.

Our exact targets were the TWTR 04/14 $47-49 Calls, the JPM Weekly $129-127 Puts, and the KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts, and here are the updated figures on the moves we observed in those plays:

TWTR 04/14 $47-49 Calls
$47:
 .26-.84 (+223%)
$48: .16-.55 (+243%)
$49: .10-.35 (+250%)
_____

JPM Weekly $129-127 Puts
$129:
 1.51-3.83 (+154%)
$128: .92-2.97 (+223%)
$127: .67-1.93 (+188%)
_____

KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts
$105: 4.50-12.90 (+187%)
$100: 1.65-7.80 (+372%)
