Friday’s Incredible Performance, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Fantastic Five: 

We closed out the short trading week on Friday in grand fashion, offering up a varied slate of five options ideas for our readers to track. Anyone who put some skin in the game would likely have walked away happy, as we brought the house down on all five of our selections. There were multibag runners from every idea, and some of them went into the range of several hundred percent!

Muted Start to the Week, Fresh Ideas

Monday’s Options Recap:

The markets got off to a rough start yesterday, and that did negatively impact the scope of our options success with the plays we were monitoring, especially considering they were targets January expirations. We may yet see those rise to the occasion, but for now, our one quick-strike idea from yesterday’s premarket report did make a significant intraday move.

The SPY typically provides a lot of good intraday volatility for us, and is quite often good for solid intraday gains when timed properly. Our actual targets for yesterday were the SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls, and these were the largest intraday swings we witnessed:

SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
$383:
 .65-1.45 (+123%)
$384: .38-.90 (+137%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts
PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
HEI 01/20 $150 Calls


OTC Recaps:

We had another couple of plays that performed well off of yesterday’s extended watchlist. Especially on slow days for options, monitoring these daily selections of mainly OTC stocks has often proved to be a good alternative use of our time.

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .01-.035 (+250%)

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .0031-.0046 (+48%)
