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 


Options Ideas – Earnings Plays: 

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.

Build-A-Bear and Ambarella are a couple in that category that our catching our eye today, so we’ll hash up some ideas for those as well:

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

Options Success Continues: 

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we have been really sharp with our options calls recently. We never do poorly, but the magnitude of our recent successes has been huge, thanks to a strong market and tons of earnings reporters from which to choose our quick strike ideas.

Yesterday morning we selected four sets of ideas. They all produced, but we made an error on the BBBY $31-28 Puts, which were mistakenly listed in our report as Calls. So we’re going to skip over those and simply report on the other three winners which all produced big time intraday opportunities. The MAR Weekly $160-162.50 Calls, the VRTX Weekly $182.50-187.50 Calls, and the TMUS Weekly $117-120 Calls.
