Big Options Runners, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps:

We got back onto the track of options perfection yesterday, with our premarket report containing ideas for the chains of three big name earnings reporters. Despite a choppy and lackluster session for the markets in general, there was plenty of good volatility and intraday movement in our selected plays for ourselves and our readers to benefit greatly.

The trio of potential plays we were focused on for the day yesterday were the LOW Weekly $210-215 Calls, the AAP Weekly $160-155 Puts, and the TGT Weekly $157.50-152.50 Puts. The LOW and AAP targets were the main runners, posting multibag gains across the board. The TGT Puts didn’t run quite so hard but still recorded some very respectable intraday runs. Here’s how it all broke down for us:

 4.10-11.45 (+179%)

Friday’s Options Gainers:

We closed out the trading week on Friday morning in grand fashion, highlighting a 4-pack of fresh earnings-related options ideas for the day. Despite the markets sliding back and three out of the four being bullish ideas, we scored solid gain opportunities in everything we were focused on, which is fairly typical around here.

Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas – Form-4 Plays:

We do typically like to stick with options plays that coincide with big name earnings reporters, but we always like to scan for Form-4’s (insider transactions) and formulate ideas in those instances where we like the chart setup.

We’ve got a couple of potential targets which fit that bill with huge amounts of shares being soaked up in ASAN last week, and a large $10M block being purchased in PFSI yesterday. These transactions give us at least a reasonable confidence that those involved believe that the future looks brighter than the present.

ASAN 01/21 $110-120 Calls
PFSI 12/17 $65 Calls 


Options Ideas – Earnings Plays: 

Of course we don’t want to leave out our bread and butter, so we’ve also taken a look at what the earnings calendar has to offer this morning.

Build-A-Bear and Ambarella are a couple in that category that our catching our eye today, so we’ll hash up some ideas for those as well:

BBW 12/17 $17.50 Calls
AMBA Weekly $197.50-207.50 Calls
