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.

Fresh Idea:
SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY $299-300 Calls


Taronis Technologies, Inc. TRNX

On Monday morning, we highlighted TRNX as a prime bottom-bounce candidate, and we’d like to wrap up the week by going over the solid swings which we subsequently observed in the stock.

On Monday itself, our choice in timing on calling this play was affirmed as we saw a solid 52% run from  .25-.38. This was followed by a pullback to a low of .1832 the following day, and over the course of the rest of the week, TRNX has stair-stepped its way back up to .34, which represents an additional 86% swing.
