Kicking Off the First of Two Short Trading Weeks

Dave & Busters Entertainment, Inc. PLAY – Options Review:

We just had a single solitary options idea that we formulated for Friday morning’s premarket report, in the Dave & Busters chain, the PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls. We’ve got an update on this morning to start off this short week, which we expect to be rather laid back, if prior years are any indicator.

There weren’t any other interesting earnings reporters going out on the day, but we managed to eke out some decent gains. We’re going without earnings once again today, but we’ve got some increased activity in the OTC as you’ll read about below.

PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls
$35: 1.03-1.85 (+80%)
$36: .72-1.27 (+76%)
$37: .60-.81 (+35%)


More OTC Recaps:

We tend to lean more heavily on the OTC toward the end of the year, when penny stocks typically heat up compared to the larger markets. Not many large companies are reporting earnings at the moment, and OTC tax loss selling can hammer a lot of these stocks down. That, in turn, causes a wave of opportunistic traders like ourselves to swoop in and accumulate cheap shares. The net result is a heightened landscape of possibility for many over the counter stocks.

Below, we’ve got a group of OTC plays we’ve been tracking in recent reports that posted some new highs on an otherwise mundane Friday. We last alerted STRY and BIEI on the 20th, and GTII just a couple of days later. Here were the updated figures on the total ranges and possible gain opportunities as we closed out the trading week:

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 20th
Range: .0165-.0335 (+103%)

Massive Options Movers & More

Enormous Options Gainers:

We took advantage of the SPY with supreme accuracy yesterday. In the early morning, it appeared as if futures would rise, but that was curtailed by some poor economic reports shortly before we sent out our newsletters. We flipped over to the bearish side of things for a fresh target and with the help of a deleterious session for the markets in general, it turned out to be the exact right choice.

We were tracking those SPY 09/14 $406-404 Puts, as well as the CNM Weekly $25 Calls, and witnessed huge intraday gains in both cases. We also have an update on a longer-term play from last week, when we called the GTLB 09/16 $50 Calls on Tuesday morning. Those subsequently posted multibag opportunity as well. All in all, we’ve offered up ideas that have absolutely performed as well or better than one could’ve hoped.

SPY 09/14 $406-404 Puts
$406: 
4.51-14.00 (+210%)
$405: 3.90-13.00 (+233%)
$404: 3.36-12.00 (+257%)

CNM Weekly $25 Calls
