Shorts Yield Dividends, Fresh Ideas to Close out the Week

Bearish Signals Pay Off:

We got things back on track in a big way for yesterday morning’s premarket report, with regard to our daily options ideas. It is an extremely rare occurrence that we would signal a full slate with nothing but bearish targets, but that’s exactly how things shook out yesterday, and it worked to our advantage.

The collection of puts that we were tracking for the day were the MDB Weekly $280-275 Puts, the OKTA Weekly $78-75 Puts, the CIEN 09/16 $55-45 Puts, and the SPY 09/02 $395-393 Puts, and thanks partly to the early downturn in the markets right from the opening bell, these were the caliber of gain opportunities that awaited us with these ideas:

MDB Weekly $280-275 Puts
$280: 
11.90- 40.58 (+241%)
$277.50: 14.60-39.00 (+228%)

Getting Back on Track for a Fresh Trading Week

New Options Highs: 

First thing’s first, to start off this fresh trading week we’d like to apologize for the lack of a newsletter on Friday morning. We have only missed a couple of trading days in our entire history, and this time a power outage at our offices prevented us from doing our normal work, but we’re back in the saddle fully powered up and ready for another solid week of stock and options speculation!

So what we’re going to do before we hop right back on track, is go over the new highs that our options ideas from Wednesday morning registered to close things out on Friday, and then we’ll jump in with some fresh options ideas for today. As you can see in Wednesday’s report, we were tracking the YY Weekly $29-32 Calls, the BABA Weekly $85-90 Calls, and the DKNG 06/17 $20 Calls.

With the exception of the YY $29’s, we got new highs in all of these plays on Friday, so these figures represent the total possible gains in a two-day swing in these targets: 

YY Weekly $29-32 Calls
$30: 3.02-12.05 (+299%)
$31: 2.21-11.09 (+402%)
$32: 2.43-9.50 (+291%)

BABA Weekly $85-90 Calls
$85:

$88: 3.16-23.30 (+637%)
