Thursday’s Movers, 3 Ideas for Friday

Another Strong Session:

We did pretty well with regard to the performances of the potential options plays included in yesterday’s premarket report. We saw good gains in 7 out of the 8 individual contract sets in the ranges we were monitoring, so we’re going to call that a good day. We’ve been slightly thin on interesting earnings reporters toward the end of this week, but that will certainly pick up next week, with a whole host of big names set to release their figures.

As for our targets from yesterday, we had the NTES Weekly $79-80 Calls, the CSCO Weekly $58-60 Calls, and the DIS Weekly $110-112 Calls on watch, and here are those results for the session:

NTES Weekly $79-80 Calls

Friday’s Big Gainers, 3 Fresh Plays

Close, But No Cigar:

Well, we NEARLY did what we set out to do on Friday, which was to seal our fourth straight week of nothing but successful daily options picks. We offered up four possibilities, and three of them delivered. Unfortunately our targets in the INTU chain were simply too deep in the money to trade volume by the time the opening bell rang. However, 19 days without a bad idea is still an absolutely incredible feat, and we’re very proud of it.

Our premarket report winners for the session were the SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls, the WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls, and the CAVA Weekly $108-110 Calls. The gains they produced more than made up for missing on a single idea:

SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls
$557:
 1.47-5.61 (+282%)
$557.50: 1.20-5.16 (+330%)

A Winning Wednesday, 5 Fresh Picks

Wednesday’s Winners:

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we placed a trio of potential options trading ideas on watch, and were pleased with the intraday performances on all three of them. Generally, we don’t often miss on our quick-strike (weekly expiration) ideas. We like to occasionally mix in longer-term swing trade ideas that may take awhile to come to fruition, but our strongest suit is definitely ID’ing plays for ‘today’ on any given day.

Yesterday’s plays were the PDD Weekly $149-152.50 Calls, the GIS Weekly $71-72 Calls, and the INTC Weekly $42.50-43.50 Calls, and all three sets of calls fared rather well. Here were the performances they laid down:

PDD Weekly $149-152.50 Calls
