Friday Recaps, Fresh Plays For Monday

Friday’s Options Review: 

We offered up a mixed bag of possible options trading ideas on Friday, with most of them falling under the bearish category. The markets provided impetus in both directions, and that provided us with the volatility needed to see some very nice gain opportunities. The only targets that went the wrong way on us were our AAPL Puts, but the impressive new highs in the three AI sets we were tracking last week made up the difference, and then some.

Our runners from Friday’s report were the QCOM Weekly $135-134 Puts, the AMZN Weekly $110-108 Puts, and the GILD Weekly $84-85 Calls. Our tracked ideas on AI were the AI Weekly $20-20.50 & $22 Calls, from our reports on the 1st and the 2nd, respectively) and those posted some really good new highs in addition to the stock itself making a solid move up. Here’s how things broke down for us on Friday:

Big Day on Thursday, 4-Pack of New Plays

Thursday’s Huge Selection of Runners: 

We threw a lot at the wall in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and the vast majority of it stuck firmly. In a rare move, we included an offering of seven options trading ideas we felt had potential on the day, and six of them returned significant gain opportunities. That’s a very good, if unsurprising, success rate for us, and we’ll try to end the week with the same vigor.

The large group of daily targets which fared well yesterday were the META Weekly $180-185 Calls, the ALGN Weekly $325-335 Calls, the SONY Weekly $90-92 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $182.50-187.50 Calls, the AI Weekly $22 Calls, and the SPY 02/03 $412-414 Calls.

Huge Selection of Fresh Ideas

Options Review: 

We fared reasonable well with our midweek report yesterday morning, after having formulated potential options plays in five chains. With the exception of some longer-term puts in NVO, which may just need some time to come around, those ideas yielded some solid trading chances on the day.

The weekly calls that went on to enjoy those moves, in part due to the massive late-day surge in the markets following the afternoon Fed meeting, were the EA Weekly $113-116 Calls, the TMO Weekly $575-580 Calls, the GSK Weekly $34.50-35 Calls, and the AI Weekly $20-20.50 Calls, and here were the sorts of gains that were there for the taking:

EA Weekly $113-116 Calls
$113:
 1.34-3.80 (+183%)
$114: .96-3.20 (+233%)
$115: .63-2.25 (+257%)
$116: .40-1.70 (+325%)

TMO Weekly $575-580 Calls
$575: 11.08-22.17 (+101%)
$580: 8.13-20.00 (+146%)
