Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas – Form-4 Plays:

We do typically like to stick with options plays that coincide with big name earnings reporters, but we always like to scan for Form-4’s (insider transactions) and formulate ideas in those instances where we like the chart setup.

We’ve got a couple of potential targets which fit that bill with huge amounts of shares being soaked up in ASAN last week, and a large $10M block being purchased in PFSI yesterday. These transactions give us at least a reasonable confidence that those involved believe that the future looks brighter than the present.

ASAN 01/21 $110-120 Calls
PFSI 12/17 $65 Calls

Of course we don’t want to leave out our bread and butter, so we’ve also taken a look at what the earnings calendar has to offer this morning.

BBW 12/17 $17.50 Calls
AMBA Weekly $197.50-207.50 Calls
