Big Start to the Week, Fresh Options Ideas

Solid Start to the Week:

Things got off to a good start for us yesterday, as we opened the books on another trading week. Things were a little slow on the earnings front, so there weren’t many things catching our eye, but the two sets of targets that we did generate for our premarket report did post rather impressive intraday performances. Today’s earnings calendar is much fuller, so we’ll have a wider selection of potential plays this morning.

We had signaled potential interest in the ZIM Weekly $16.50-15.50 Puts, and the GLBE 06/16 $35 Puts, and most of the intraday moves they recorded were good for multibag gains. We’ve also got an update on a set of calls we have been tracking since the morning of May 8th, the GTLB 05/26 $28 Calls, which have made quite a significant run as GTLB has been on a steady rise these past couple of weeks.

ZIM Weekly $16.50-15.50 Puts
$16.50: .50-2.03 (+306%)
$16: .50-1.60 (+220%)
$15.50: .31-1.07 (+245%)

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. With the exception of one out of the five options ideas we had loaded up for yesterday’s premarket report, we saw really nice intraday runs out of our whole slate for the day.

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
JD Weekly $45.50-44.50 Puts
