Big Options Runners, More Fresh Plays

Massive Options Gainers:

It was a mixed bag kind of a session for us yesterday, having gone half-and-half on options ideas, bullish and bearish. As a result of the huge day the markets had yesterday, it was the bullish targets that produced notable moves for us on the day.

Those calls that ended up posting huge numbers were the DPZ Weekly $315-325 Calls, and the DAL Weekly $29-29.50 Calls. As you can see below, Domino’s put forth a really good show, as every set in our observed range rattled off absolutely massive multibag runs. The gains we saw in the Delta plays were fairly on-par with those as well, registering big multibag moves themselves. Here’s the breakdown of those enormous gainers:

DPZ Weekly $315-325 Calls
$315:
 5.06-21.23 (+320%)
$320: 2.55-15.06 (+491%)
$325: 1.60-11.49 (+618%)

DAL Weekly $29-29.50 Calls

Winning Options Plays, 4 Fresh Ideas

Options Reviews:

Despite only having a single earnings reporter yesterday morning off of which we could base an options idea, we managed to turn up some pretty good opportunities including a couple multi-bag gain chances.

That lone fresh play was for the PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls, and they did post some nice intraday moves. In addition, we have a couple of updates on some longer term calls that we signaled in reports from last week. For the CAT 11/04 $180-185 Calls, we alerted these calls on last Wednesday the 5th, while the UNFI 11/18 $35 Calls were an idea we formulated on September 30th. Both have performed rather nicely, and give a good example of why we like to include a mix of quick-strike plays with longer-term ideas.

PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls 
$162.50: 4.55-8.10 (+78%)
$165: 2.77-6.02 (+117%)
$167.50: 1.40-4.05 (+189%)

Fresh Ideas for an Exciting Friday Finish

Dominos Pizza Inc. DPZ – Options Recap 

We have been very light on options plays over the past week or two, as we are still in a lull for earnings reporters, which are the typical catalysts that we use to take advantage of the inherent volatility that generally follows a quarterly number drop.

. We still have managed to find an opportunity here and there, and yesterday our instincts told us to go short on Dominos. We signaled the DPZ Weekly $427.50-417.50 Puts and saw some good moves

DPZ Weekly $427.50-417.50 Puts
$327.50
: 18.85-30.10 (+118%)
$325: 17.99-30.35 (+151%)
$322.50: 13.97-26.10 (+203%)
$320: 11.78-24.90 (+337%)
$317.50: 10.46-21.55 (+118%)

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY – Options Idea

We have been tracking the $340-341 Calls throughout the week, and based on the solid progress we’ve seen there ansd the premarket activity we’re observing this morning, we’;ll go ahead roll up to the SPY Weekly $344-345 Calls to stay close to the action.


More Fresh Options Ideas

Despite having no earnings to push these along, here are a handful of options plays we’ll be tracking today:

CGC Weekly $18 Calls

Camber Energy, Inc. CEI – Recap

We also want to backtrack a bit to our September 25th call of CEI today following what has been a very respectable run for the stock.

The day after our tag of CEI, the stock saw a low of .5011 and hasn’t looked back. Yesterday, a very impressive intraday move carried it to a new high of 1.43, which works out to an increase of 185% over a span of just ten trading days!

Form-4 Bottom Play & More

SPDR S&P500 (ETF) SPY

We are still actively tracking the options targets we designated in the SPY chain in Tuesday’s premarket report which were the SPY Weekly $340-341 Calls. We got some pretty nice intraday gain opportunities in the 60-80% range early Tuesday, but the following upswing that we observed in these plays yesterday was far better.

The $340 Calls registered another run from .98-3.28, which marks a 235% move, while the $341’s ran from .75-2.65, for a 253% rip.

Arcutis Biotherapeutics Inc. ARQT – Form-4 Bottom Bouncer

Following multiple Form-4 submissions to the tune of over $12M each last week, ARQT sold off and began to establish just the type of chart setup we are always on the lookout for. A recently tanked stock with a gap on the chart to the upside, that is establishing a trend off of that bottom.

Combined with the recent insider purchases, and it makes for a stock that we need to have on our watchlist in the weeks, and perhaps even months ahead.

Options Recap

Thanks to a choppy day for the markets as a whole, both of the bearish options ideas we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report provided opportunities that either approached or exceeded the threshold of double-bag status.

Dominos Pizza Inc. DPZ – Dominos was the primary big name earnings reporter yesterday, and we decided to tag the DPZ Weekly $235-227.50 Puts for possible swing trades after disappointing figures. Those contracts moved considerably right out of the starting gate, prior to the company announcing a massive $1B buyback program, roughly 30 minutes into the session.

$235 Calls – Range: 4.02-7.40 – Max Gain: 84%
$232.50 Calls – Range: 3.80-6.00 – Max Gain: 58%
$230 Calls – Range: 2.63-4.81 – Max Gain: 83%
$227.50 Calls – Range: 1.30-3.60 – Max Gain: 177%

With AZZ announcing a delay to its Q2 2020 earnings report, which was scheduled for yesterday premarket, we took the initiative to signal some puts there as well. Our targets were the AZZ Weekly $45-40 Puts and those were on a serious run throughout the day.

$45 Calls – Range: 4.20-9.00 – Max Gain: 114%
