Monday’s Runners, Pair of Longer-Term Plays

Good Start to the Week:  

We got the fresh trading week off to a pretty good start yesterday morning. Despite having no big name earnings reporters to work with, we floated a few ideas that flew in the face of the overall trend of the day, yet still managed to log some serious intraday upswings. Unfortunately, we’re just entering another dry spell for earnings, and as usual, we’ll get along however we sit fit on the day-to-day.

As for yesterday’s targets, we were looking at the TSLA Weekly $277.50-272.50 Puts, the NVDA Weekly $435-430 Puts, and the SPY 09/18 $444-443 Puts, and here are the kinds of intraday runs they established on the session:

TSLA Weekly $277.50-272.50 Puts
$277.50:
 9.80-14.80 (+51%)
$275: 7.80-12.90 (+65%)
$272.50: 6.40-11.05 (+73%)

Success Times SIX, Fresh Ideas to End the Short Week

Perfect Way to End the Short Week:  

It was a big day for options yesterday, with a huge slate of earnings reporters leading us to formulate a larger-than-usual field of potentials. We offered up SIX fresh trading possibilities in our premarket report, and all six turned in some really nice intraday performances. We went mostly bearish on the day, with just one set of calls to five sets of puts. The results were very pleasing, and it’s a heck of a great way to close out a short trading week!

Our 6-pack of targets for Thursday were the SPY 09/07 $445-443 Puts, the CHPT Weekly $7-6 Puts, the AEO Weekly $17.50-16.50 Puts, the AI Weekly $28.50-27.50 Puts, the GIII 09/15 $20-22.50 Calls and the SAIC 09/15 $115-105 Puts. The excellent chances they afforded traders on the session were as follows:
