Wednesday’s Options Perfection, Fresh Ideas

Another Clean Sweep on Options:

We really came through on the four options ideas we put on watch in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We had three earnings-related plays as well as some targets in the daily SPY, and witnessed some very nice activity out of our entire board. That leaves the number of unsuccessful options picks we’ve made this week at exactly one, with literally everything else we’ve mentioned providing some serious chances for quick profits.

Yesterday’s winning targets were the PAYX 04/21 $115 Calls, the LULU Weekly $367.50-372.50 Calls, the MU Weekly $59-61 Calls, and the SPY 03/29 $397-398 Calls, and here are the sorts of gains they provided for ourselves and our readers on the day:

Big Runner Recap, Fresh Ideas

Tuesday’s Nice Plays: 

Another day, another batch of solid options plays offering up excellent intraday gain chances. Such was the case with Tuesday’s selections, with the exception of the longer-term calls we highlighted in DISH, which we’re sure we’ll be coming back to before their April expiration.

The shorter-term earnings plays we signaled, however, did manage to post some really impressive figures. They were the DKS Weekly $137-140 Calls, the SE Weekly $69-71 Calls, and the SQSP 03/17 $25-30 Calls. The gain opportunities presented by those targets ranged from very good to excellent, as you can see below on this intraday breakdown:

DKS Weekly $137-140 Calls
$137:
 4.55-10.04 (+121%)
$138: 3.80-9.10 (+139%)
$139: 2.80-7.95 (+184%)
$140: 2.69-7.14 (+165%)
_____

SE Weekly $69-71 Calls

Major Movers from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Runners: 

We are ready to kick off another great week of trading, and as always, our first order of business is going to be to rehash our ideas from Friday and see what kind of noise they made for us. We were right down the middle with two bullish and two bearish ideas. The markets posted mainly a positive session, but that didn’t stop our shorts from recording solid gains as well.

Our fresh targets for the day were the TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls, the AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts and the INTC Weekly $28-27 Puts. It appears we may have erred in the strikes on our TSLA Calls, with the $162.50’s being the only contract set in the range we listed, so we’ll just list the gains made there, which were quite considerable. The rest of our ideas also posted some excellent runs for the session:

TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls
$162.50:
 1.55-18.05 (+1064%)
_____

AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls
$162.50: 3.55-12.60 (+255%)

Options, NASDAQ Reviews & Fresh Idea

HEICO Corporation HEI – Options Update:

This week has lived up to the stereotype of a typical holiday trading week between Christmas and the New Year. No one is reporting earnings, not much has been going on, and the opportunities have been much fewer and further between. Today we do have an update on a set of options contracts that we alerted on Tuesday of last week.

We signaled interest in the HEI 01/20 $150 Calls, and they have made a modest but respectable move for us over that time span.

HEI 01/20 $150 Calls
$150:
 3.70-7.50 (+103%)


Fresh Options Idea:
CALM 01/20 $60-57.50 Puts


Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. KALA – Recap:

We had placed KALA on watch via yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. Our EW’s often consist of a mix of big board and OTC stocks. In this case, KALA trades on the upper exchange, and yet still managed to explode off of our list with a single-session multibag run yesterday. The stock ran from a low of 6.00 yesterday and has now touched 19.73 in premarket trading today, marking a total rise of 229%
