Monday’s Movers, 5 Fresh Plays

Monday’s Movers:

Things got off to a subdued but solid start to the week yesterday. There were no interesting earnings releases to be had, and our premarket report contained just three potential options trading targets. That being said, all three did post some decent intraday moves for us. We just keep slogging along, doing our best to generate daily interests, and anticipating the coming of the next earnings season which is headed our way shortly.

Yesterday’s plays were the RTX Weekly $71-72 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $257.50-255 Puts, and the DIS Weekly $83-84 Calls. They posted the following intraday moves and total possible gains:

RTX Weekly $71-72 Calls

Ending a Strong Week on a High Note

Thursday’s Major Movers: 

The majority of our fortunes have come down on the positive side of the street this week, and yesterday was a continuation of that trend.

We were tracking the ASAN Weekly $19.50-21 Calls, the BJ 03/17 $75-80 Calls, the JD Weekly $45.50-44.50 Puts, and the TSLA Weekly $182.50-180 Puts, and they yielded plenty of chances for multibag intraday gains. Here were the trading ranges and total possible profits they recorded:

Midweek Movers, 5 Fresh Ideas

Midweek Runners: 

We fared rather well with our weekly picks in yesterday morning’s premarket report, despite the fact that the targets we selected with expirations set for next week lagged in performance. Both of our weekly targets were earnings-related, and they posted some moderately impressive intraday moves. The remainder of this week is going to include a lot of fresh earnings reporters, so we’re certain these won’t be the last opportunities. Infact, we’ve got quite the slate this morning.

Those ideas which were successful yesterday were the CRWD Weekly $131-133 Calls, and the CPB Weekly $52-53 Calls, and here’s the rundown of their intraday activity:

CRWD Weekly $131-133 Calls
$131: 
1.20-2.37 (+98%)
$132: .93-2.00 (+115%)
$133: .81-1.65 (+104%)

CPB Weekly $52-53 Calls
$52: .60-1.35 (+125%)
$53: .23-.63 (+174%)



Fresh Options Ideas:
ASAN Weekly $19.50-21 Calls
BJ 03/17 $75-80 Calls
VET 03/17 $12.50-15 Calls
