Options Recaps, 5-Pack of Fresh Ideas

Recapping Friday’s Movers:  

Things played out very much like we suspected they would on Friday, as we capped off an exceptional trading week with some solid options ideas. We came up with a pair of quick-strike plays, as well as a couple of longer-term targets with September expirations. Both of the weekly ideas we floated ended up posting some pretty good intraday upswings.

Those ideas were the NVDA Weekly $420 Puts and the IONQ Weekly $14.50-15 Calls, and each of them produced the following multibag gain possibilities on the day:

NVDA Weekly $420 Puts
$420: 
3.45-13.43 (+289%)
_____

IONQ Weekly $14.50-15 Calls
$14.50: .93-3.10 (+233%)
$15: .50-2.65 (+430%)
_____

We also saw new highs in the APP 08/18 $35-37.50 Calls which we flagged for observation on Thursday and reported on Friday. That considerably increased the percentage gains we had seen the previous session. The following figures represent the overall two-day swing:

APP 08/18 $35-37.50 Calls
$35: 
.70-4.50 (+543%)
$37.50: .24-2.35 (+879%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NVDA Weekly $410-405 Puts
TSLA Weekly $237.50-235 Puts
MNDY Weekly $160-165 Calls

A Winning Wednesday, 5 New Ideas

Winning Wednesday:

We kept things moving along swimmingly on Wednesday with regard to the options ideas in our premarket report for the day. We put in a pretty good mix of short-term and longer-term ideas, as well as bears and bulls. Three out of our four interests produced instant results, and the fourth (IHF) we’ll put on the back burner, as we feel it will still produce the activity we’re looking for in the days and weeks ahead.

Our hot hands for the day were our other targets, which were the FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts, the WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts, and the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls. From those we got several chances for multi-bag profits on the session, and those moves were as follows:

FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts
$230:
 1.91-6.29 (+229%)
$227.50: 1.17-4.25 (+263%)
$225: .63-2.56 (+306%)

Major Movers from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Runners: 

We are ready to kick off another great week of trading, and as always, our first order of business is going to be to rehash our ideas from Friday and see what kind of noise they made for us. We were right down the middle with two bullish and two bearish ideas. The markets posted mainly a positive session, but that didn’t stop our shorts from recording solid gains as well.

Our fresh targets for the day were the TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls, the AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts and the INTC Weekly $28-27 Puts. It appears we may have erred in the strikes on our TSLA Calls, with the $162.50’s being the only contract set in the range we listed, so we’ll just list the gains made there, which were quite considerable. The rest of our ideas also posted some excellent runs for the session:

TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls
$162.50:
 1.55-18.05 (+1064%)
_____

AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls
$162.50: 3.55-12.60 (+255%)
$165: 2.01-10.65 (+430%)
_____

CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts
$72.50:
 .92-2.06 (+124%)
$70: .35-.90 (+157%)

INTC Weekly $28-27 Puts
