Options Recaps, Fresh Possibilities

A Good Day for Puts:  

It was a challenging day for the markets yesterday, as they experienced quite the bloodbath, and that did not bode particularly well for some of our bullish ideas, but fortunately, we had some bears on the docket as well and saw some very nice moves in those. Just the latest example of why we typically try to include a mixed bag of ideas as much as we can.

Our puts from yesterday were the UNFI 10/20 $15 Puts and the THO 10/20 $90 Puts, with the TSLA Weekly $245-242.50 Puts from Monday’s report tacking on some new highs for us as well. So the figures below represent yesterday’s activity on UNFI and THO, while the TSLA numbers reflect a two-day swing:


UNFI 10/20 $15 Puts
$15: .13-1.60 (+1131%)

Big Name Earnings Reporters & More

TJX, LOW Options Recap:

We’re cruising right along on the options front this week, with the earnings calendar having presented us with a lot to look at each morning. Today looks to be no different with several big name reporters on the slate.

First, we’ll go over the activity in the new ideas we formulated in yesterday morning’s premarket report, which produced a few winners. Apart from the BIDU Calls we were watching which weren’t very impressive, we were tracking the TJX Weekly $71-73 Calls, and the LOW Weekly $250-255 Calls, both of which produced significant intraday movement and profit opportunity.

Here are the ranges and total possible gains that could have been realized on the day:

Options Gains, Fresh Ideas & More

Options Review:

As we cruise right past the halfway point of this holiday shortened week, we’re heading into another period of an exceptionally meager earnings calendar. It will be more than a month before we begin to see a plethora of daily reporters, but as always we will strive our hardest to bring you quality ideas on a daily basis.

Yesterday we managed to hit on three of our four sets of new ideas, with the fourth being longer-term October calls that will need some time to realize their potential. Our successful targets were the PATH 09/17 $65-55 Puts, the COUP Weekly $265-275 Calls, and the KFY 09/17 $70-80 Calls. We got some really nice intraday activity out of each of those plays.

Here were the total moves and possible gains for traders who were on top of our alerts:

PATH 09/17 $65-55 Puts
$65: 7.50-9.55 (+27%)
