Midweek Updates, Trio of New Ideas

Midweek Options Recaps:  

We offered up a pair of short term and a pair of longer term ideas in our premarket report yesterday, and as is pretty typical, we saw some good movement out of the weekly plays, and not so much instant gratification from those that expire next month. We usually gravitate to those kind of ideas during earnings low periods, and we certainly have been short on big name reporters this week. But we’ll continue to monitor those interests into October, and keep trying to point out whatever looks best to us on a daily basis.

As for yesterday’s weekly plays, which were the CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls and the BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts, we observed the following intraday trading activity and gain potential:

CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70:
 3.00-4.20 (+40%)
$75: 1.09-2.66 (+144%)

BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50:
 1.63-1.93 (+18%)

Tuesday Recaps, Fresh Ideas

Two for Tuesday:  

We fared reasonably well yesterday, having selected a trio of potential plays for our premarket report. While we didn’t manage a clean sweep on that, two out of three isn’t half bad, and our moving targets produced a very solid performance on the session. We also had a solid NASDAQ play pop off of the extended watchlist, so all in all we’re in pretty good shape as we cross this week’s midpoint.

Yesterday’s movers and shakers were the ORCL Weekly $117-115 Puts and the NVDA Weekly $455-450 Puts, and here are the total possible gains they facilitated on Tuesday: .

ORCL Weekly $117-115 Puts
$117:
 3.75-9.30 (+148%)
$116: 3.30-8.45 (+156%)
$115: 2.45-7.61 (+210%)
_____

NVDA Weekly $455-450 Puts
$455:
 6.69-10.66 (+59%)
$452.50: 5.57-9.13 (+64%)
$450: 4.62-7.90 (+71%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls
BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts
AMKR 10/20 $22-23 Calls

Avalo Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:AVTX) – Recap:

Like yesterday, we also have a brief recap on another NASDAQ stock that we’ve flagged in our extended watchlist that went on to make a great run. We had AVTX in yesterday’s report, and the stock started out changing hands for as little as .102. As of this morning’s new high of .24 that marks a 24-hour swing of 139%

Super Tuesday Sweep, 4-Pack of Fresh Ideas

Tuesday’s Movers:

We kept things moving fast on the options front yesterday morning, as we laid out possible plays for five separate targets for the session. It should come as very little shock, especially given our spot-on recent performance, that each and every one of the potential plays we highlighted produced significant intraday opportunities.

Our interests for the session included the GTLB Weekly $43-45 Calls, the HQY 06/16 $60 Calls, the THO 06/16 $85 Calls, the ASO Weekly $46-44 Puts, and the CBRL 06/16 $95-85 Puts. Regardless of which target or strike point was chosen, the intraday gain chances were palpable. Here’s how it all broke down for us:

GTLB Weekly $43-45 Calls
$43:
 1.30-4.40 (+238%)
