Hot Options Runners, Fresh Ideas & More

Friday’s Winning Selections: 

We’re kicking things off this week the same way we always hope to do, which is presenting the excellent gain opportunities that our Friday options ideas afforded ourselves and our readers. As usual, most of our targets yielded excellent intraday gains opportunities.

The winning plays were the AFRM 09/17 $110-120 Calls, the PLAY Weekly $37-39 Calls, and the TIGR 09/17 $12.50-15 Calls, which all fared quite well on the day. We were commenting on the fact that we’re heading into another period of a relatively thin earnings calendar, but we managed to unearthed some multibag runners nonetheless.

The ranges and total possible gains on those plays were as follows:

AFRM 09/17 $110-120 Calls
$110: 3.10-17.50 (+162%)

Another Excellent Week of Options Trading

Closing Out a Fantastic Short Trading Week: 

As we prepare to close out this holiday-shortened week, we’re going to start off by highlighting some more new highs in the SLQT 09/17 $7.50-10 Calls we’ve been tracking since August 31st. SLQT on the stock side of things alone, has risen by a considerable margin, running from 9.19 to 13.24 for a gain of 44%

We also want to update on a set of longer-term options in the EPAY chain that we designated for observation back on the morning of August 16th. EPAY has also made a solid move, and it facilitated some nice moves for our targeted range, the EPAY 09/17 $40-45 Calls.

Here are the new highs in the SLQT targets, as well as the overall range on the EPAY contracts since we alerted on them:

SLQT 09/17 $7.50-10 Calls
$7.50:
 1.80-5.55 (+208%)
$10: .40-3.20 (+700%)

EPAY 09/17 $40-45 Calls
$40:
 .81-3.90 (+381%)
$45: .09-.76 (+744%)

Friday’s Multi-Baggers, Fresh Ideas

GPS, WDAY Options Recaps:

As is our custom, we’re kicking off this new trading week by scanning back to our performance on Friday. Our longer-term calls didn’t impress just yet, but both of the quick-strike ideas we had for weekly calls did produce some nice chances for us on the day.

We were zeroed in on the GPS Weekly $27-28.50 Calls and the WDAY Weekly $255-270 Calls following the Gap and Workday’s earnings drops, and were afforded some very nice intraday gain opportunities, with only one contract set in our designated ranges falling shy of multi-bag gainer status.

GPS Weekly $27-28.50 Calls
$27: .18-.46 (+156%)
$27.50: .09-.21 (+133%)
$28: .09-.17 (+89%)
$28.50: .11-.44 (+300%)
_____

WDAY Weekly $255-270 Calls
$255:
 9.07-19.80 (+118%)
$260: 5.20-14.75 (+184%)
$265: 2.24-10.00 (+346%)
$270: .95-5.40 (+468%)

We’re not going to rule out Friday’s longer-term September Calls in HIBB from going green yet, with nearly three weeks remaining until expiration.
