Wednesday’s Winners, 4 More Potential Plays

Recapping Wednesday’s Winners:

We made some good progress with the potential options plays we highlighted in yesterday morning’s premarket report. Everything we signaled in the near-term recorded some pretty good intraday movement. As far as the May calls we targeted on INTC, we’ll have to wait a little longer to possibly see that idea come to fruition. Everything else worked out rather well, and we expect that trend to continue as we start to come out of this earnings dry spell of the past few weeks. In the case of the SPY Puts we formulated, two out of the three contract sets in the range we designated say intraday run of more than a thousand percent!

The three runners from yesterday’s report were the SPY 04/10 $515-513 Puts, the DAL Weekly $48.50-49.50 Calls, and the PSMT 04/19 $85 Calls. These were the daily performances they logged for the session:

Another Week of Promising Opportunities on Deck

Kicking Off Another Exciting Trading Week:

We couldn’t have written a better ticket for ourselves last week in terms of all the excellent options success we achieved, really, throughout the entire week. We might have had one idea through that whole span that didn’t provide us a chance at quick returns. As for Friday, not only did all three of our designated targets for the day record nice moves, but we got some incredible new highs in the MOMO Weekly $5-6 Calls we signaled for observation on Thursday, after MOMO stock itself ran from 5.28-9.49 (+80%)

As for the rest, Friday’s fresh plays were the TSLA Weekly $170-172.50 Calls, the SPY 12/09 $394-396 Calls, and the NFLX Weekly $312.50-317.50 Calls, and here is the breakdown of the kinds of gains that were available, including the MONSTER moves from MOMO on the order of 1200-2000% on the day!

TSLA Weekly $170-172.50 Calls

Going Bearish on Earnings Reporters

Options Review:

We’ve been back on our Midas Touch options trading business over the last several sessions, and yesterday morning was no different. We were just patting ourselves on the back for 100% accuracy on the previous session’s bangers, and we managed to do it again to start this holiday-shortened week.

We signaled ranges on a couple of plays, highlighting the SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls, as well as going short on the CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts. Both turned out to be excellent notions, and the board was fully green for yet another day. The end of this week will be rather subdued, with a day off for Thanksgiving and just a half trading day for Black Friday, so it’s good we’re getting these in now.

Here are the total possible profits that could have been banked off of yesterday’s targets:

SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls
$469:
 1.99-4.50 (+126%)
$470: .62-2.40 (+287%)
_____

CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts 
$105: 15.00-22.46 (+50%)
$100: 9.70-18.20 (+88%)
$95: 6.00-13.49 (+125%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 
URBN Weekly $35-33 Puts
DLTR Weekly $132-130 Puts
BBY Weekly $122-119 Puts
