Options Review, 4 New Targets

Reviewing Tuesday’s Targets:

We had just a couple of fresh ideas on the table for our premarket report yesterday morning, and in both cases we met with solid results. We just crossed the threshold into the 4th Quarter of 2024 yesterday, and we are going through a period of fewer earnings reporters, as is common when a new quarter begins. We’ll just keep chopping wood, and bringing the best ideas we can in the meantime.

As for yesterday’s duo of possibilities, we were tracking the PAYX 10/18 $135 Calls, and the MKC 10/18 $80-85 Calls, and these were the associated intraday results:

PAYX 10/18 $135 Calls

Friday’s Big Gainers, 3 Fresh Plays

Close, But No Cigar:

Well, we NEARLY did what we set out to do on Friday, which was to seal our fourth straight week of nothing but successful daily options picks. We offered up four possibilities, and three of them delivered. Unfortunately our targets in the INTU chain were simply too deep in the money to trade volume by the time the opening bell rang. However, 19 days without a bad idea is still an absolutely incredible feat, and we’re very proud of it.

Our premarket report winners for the session were the SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls, the WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls, and the CAVA Weekly $108-110 Calls. The gains they produced more than made up for missing on a single idea:

$557:
 1.47-5.61 (+282%)
$557.50: 1.20-5.16 (+330%)
