Using the SPY to Our Advantage, 3 Fresh Ideas

SPY Puts Surge: 

Once again yesterday, the markets losses are our gains. Our lone options trading idea for the day focused upon a dim view of the SPY, and with another precipitous decline for stocks, we hit the nail right on the head. This is among the reasons why our readers see SPY plays in our newsletters on a highly regular basis, as it tends to be easier to predict the actions of the markets as a whole than it is do so the same for just one. The SPY also sees a lot of intraday volatility which can often lead to opportunities on both sides of the fence in a single session.

In terms of yesterday morning, due to a bit of a drought of earnings reporters, our premarket report contained only one idea, which was the SPY 06/13 $385-383 Puts. Those targets offered up the chance at the following really nice intraday profit chances:

 SPY 06/13 $385-383 Puts
$385: 4.24-11.01 (+160%)
$384: 3.46-10.50 (+203%)
$383: 2.84-9.67 (+240%)

COIN Puts Blast Off & More

Options Review: 

It was a mixed bag sort of a day for the markets yesterday, as everything traveled up in the morning and came down in the afternoon. We had options ideas on both side of the tracks which managed to produce some very nice intraday gain opportunities for us. Typically we try to select targets that we feel have a solid chance of providing the kind of volatility needed to facilitate big moves in a short time frame, and that’s why we usually stick to companies that have untraded-upon earnings.

Our earnings plays that rattled off big moves yesterday were the EA Weekly $111-113 Calls and the COIN Weekly $65-55 Puts. In the case of the COIN targets. based on this morning’s premarket activity we would expect to see even more of an increase today over the figures you’ll see below from yesterday’s session:

EA Weekly $111-113 Calls
$111:
 4.60-13.65 (+197%)
$112: 3.80-13.75 (+262%)
$113: 5.70-12.25 (+115%)

COIN Weekly $65-55 Puts 
$65: 6.00-15.20 (+153%)
$60: 3.30-10.80 (+227%)

We signaled our interest in the SPY 12/23 $467-469 Calls, and the CROX 01/21 $150-155 Calls, and got some very nice intraday results from both sets of ideas. We’ve also got some figures for the moves made by the SNAP 01/28 $50-53 Calls we formulated in our report from last Monday morning

South Beach Spirits, Inc. SBES:

We also wanted to provide a quick update on SBES, a stock which we tagged for observation the week before last on the morning of the 16th. This subpenny runner made quite a move subsequent to our alert, trading up from a low of .0017 and running as high .0051 last week. That works out to an overall move of 200%
