EFX  Options Review 

Despite a poor day for the market yesterday on the heels of oil futures falling to negative values, one of our daily trading ideas still produced for us fairly well. We had signaled EFX Weekly $126-129 Calls in yesterday’s premarket report, and half of that range saw incredible multibag gains.

While the $126-127’s were pushed a little too deep in the money, the $128-129’s absolutely exploded, with a nine and a four-bagger, respectively!

EFX Weekly $128-129 Calls
$284:.60-6.40 (+967%)
$285: 1.00-5.80 (+480%)


Fresh Options Ideas

We’ve got a few more ideas to add to our running watchlist this morning, with a heavy slate of earnings reporters catching our eye here in the premarket.

SNAP Weekly $14-15 Calls 
CMG Weekly $810-840 Calls
BIIB Weekly $312-309 Puts 


Siebert Financial Corp. SIEB – Form-4 Alert

We always try to keep an eye out for bottom plays with recent insider buying, and today it was SIEB that caught our attention. A member of a >10% Ownership Group purchased over $12M in SIEB at 5.80, just a bit higher than the stock’s recent annual lows.

Accordingly, we are going to place SIEB on our list of interesting stocks to track, and monitor its movements moving forward.
