On a Major Roll with Options Targets

Big Time Options Success: 

We went full bore on fresh options ideas for Friday morning’s premarket report, offering up what we felt were a set of good targets for five separate sets of contracts. One was a longer-term call in CVNA for March, which we’ll swing back around to in a later report, and the rest were quick strike plays, all of which produced huge intraday gain opportunities for ourselves and our readers.

Our areas of interest were the AMC Weekly $21-20 Puts, the WFC Weekly $55-56 Calls, the JPM Weekly $165-162.50 Puts, and the SPY 01/14 $462.50-461 Puts. The gains available on the day all ended up well into multibag territory. Here are the exact ranges and total possible profits that were available:

AMC Weekly $21-20 Puts
$21: .44-1.37 (+211%)
$20: .10-.53 (+430%)

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
