4 Fresh Options Plays & More

Wednesday Review:  

It was a rough outing yesterday due largely in part to a horrendous response to the Fed meeting. Things remained mostly level until 2PM, and thereafter went into absolute freefall. As a result, just one of the two ideas we formulated for yesterday’s premarket report bore immediate results. Not an ideal set of circumstances or outcome, but we press forward as always!

As for our target that did prevail,  we were looking at the GIS 10/20 $65-67.50 Calls, and here are the modest yet respectable intraday moves we saw out of those:

GIS 10/20 $65-67.50 Calls
$65:
 1.37-2.04 (+49%)
$67.50: .39-.75 (+92%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
FDX Weekly $260-265 Calls
KBH Weekly $47.50-46 Puts
SPLK Weekly $140-143 Calls
SPY 09/22 $432-433 Calls


Bluejay Diagnostics Inc. (NASDAQ:BJDX) – Recap: 

We also had a decent little mover jump off of yesterday’s extended watchlist, as BJDX underwent a gap-and-go scenario. The stock ran from a daily low of 4.20 and shares ended up changing hands for as much as 5.38. That works out to an intraday run of 28%

Tuesday’s Twin Targets:  

As we were mentioning in yesterday morning’s premarket report, we’re pretty thin on earnings reports from big name companies with multi-billion dollar market caps, which are typically our favorite catalysts for the kind of intraday activity that is useful to daytraders. This relative dry period will unfortunately persist until the back end of October, but, as we did yesterday, we’ll continue to hash out whatever remaining targets look best on any given morning.

Yesterday we formed a pair of potential plays, the APOG 10/20 $50-55 Calls and the DAVA 10/20 $45 Puts, and they both exhibited some nice moves for us on the day, with a double-bagger coming out of both chains. Here’s what we were working with:

APOG 10/20 $50-55 Calls
$50:
 1.70-2.50 (+47%)
$55: .05-.30 (+100%)

DAVA 10/20 $45 Puts

$45: 15-.30 (+100%).

Run of Success Continues, 4 New Earnings Ideas

Another Beautiful Options Trading Session:

We kept things moving along at a solid pace yesterday, with our trend of successful options ideas being extended yet another day. Out of four potential ideas in our premarket report which included a total of twelve sets of contracts/possible strike points, only one set of that dozen failed to produce notable intraday upswings.

We’d call that pretty high, accuracy-wise, and that’s what we expect from ourselves on a daily basis. Yesterday’s plays were the, the AMD Weekly $117-119 Calls, the HUM Weekly $475-485 Calls, the EA Weekly $132-130 Puts, and the EMR Weekly $94-96 Calls, and here’s the rundown of the intraday pops they recorded on the session:

AMD Weekly $117-119 Calls
