Friday Recaps, Fresh Plays For Monday

Friday’s Options Review: 

We offered up a mixed bag of possible options trading ideas on Friday, with most of them falling under the bearish category. The markets provided impetus in both directions, and that provided us with the volatility needed to see some very nice gain opportunities. The only targets that went the wrong way on us were our AAPL Puts, but the impressive new highs in the three AI sets we were tracking last week made up the difference, and then some.

Our runners from Friday’s report were the QCOM Weekly $135-134 Puts, the AMZN Weekly $110-108 Puts, and the GILD Weekly $84-85 Calls. Our tracked ideas on AI were the AI Weekly $20-20.50 & $22 Calls, from our reports on the 1st and the 2nd, respectively) and those posted some really good new highs in addition to the stock itself making a solid move up. Here’s how things broke down for us on Friday:

Big Day on Thursday, 4-Pack of New Plays

Thursday’s Huge Selection of Runners: 

We threw a lot at the wall in yesterday morning’s premarket report, and the vast majority of it stuck firmly. In a rare move, we included an offering of seven options trading ideas we felt had potential on the day, and six of them returned significant gain opportunities. That’s a very good, if unsurprising, success rate for us, and we’ll try to end the week with the same vigor.

The large group of daily targets which fared well yesterday were the META Weekly $180-185 Calls, the ALGN Weekly $325-335 Calls, the SONY Weekly $90-92 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $182.50-187.50 Calls, the AI Weekly $22 Calls, and the SPY 02/03 $412-414 Calls.

Looking For a Big Start to the Trading Week

Strong Finish on Friday:

We really ended a strong trading week in a blaze of glory on Friday. In our premarket report we included ideas for four separate options chains which all gave us instant opportunities at big returns. the markets as a whole posted quite the bullish session from the open right on through to the close, and it helped with our slate of four bullish ideas immensely.

We had zeroed our attention in on the INTC Weekly $27.50-28.50 Calls, the TMUS Weekly $143-146 Calls, the GILD Weekly $71-74 Calls, and the CVX Weekly $177.50-182.50 Calls for the session, and were not at all disappointed in the results. We even saw a massive eleven-bagger from the CVX $180’s, in addition to respectable multibag gains in most of the other targets as well. Here’s the breakdown of those moves and the total possible profits that were there for the taking:

INTC Weekly $27.50-28.50 Calls
$27.50: .59-1.73 (+193%)

Good Movers, Friday’s Fresh Plays

Wrapping Up Another Strong Trading Week:

With the high volume of earnings reporters this week, we have been arming ourselves and our readers with some rather solid options ideas. All but one of the five options ideas we signaled in Thursday’s premarket report ended up returning good opportunities to turn a quick profit. The markets themselves had a bit of a mixed session, appearing strong in the early goings before petering out prior to lunch hour and sliding into the close.

That didn’t stop most of our ideas from putting forth some very nice intraday performances for us. The winning contract sets we were tracking were the SPY 10/28 $386-383 Puts, the HON Weekly $195-200 Calls, the SHEL 11/18 $55-57.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $133-135 Calls, and these were the potential profits that presented themselves therein:

SPY 10/28 $386-383 Puts
$386: 3.39-10.00 (+195%)
$385: 2.87-9.26 (+223%)
$384: 2.81-8.44 (+200%)
$383: 2.02-7.59 (+276%)
_____

HON Weekly $195-200 Calls
$195: 1.00-4.79 (+379%)
$197.50: .55-2.65 (+381%)
$200: .20-1.28 (+540%)
_____

SHEL 11/18 $55-57.50 Calls
$55: 1.90-2.68 (+41%)
$57.50: .75-1.30 (+73%)
_____

NVDA Weekly $133-135 Calls
$133: 1.67-4.70 (+181%)
$134: 1.32-3.95 (+199%)
$135: 1.01-3.26 (+225%)

Fresh Options Ideas: 
INTC Weekly $27.50-28.50 Calls
TMUS Weekly $143-146 Calls
GILD Weekly $71-74 Calls
CVX Weekly $177.50-182.50 Calls

Kicking Off a Fresh Trading Week

Direxion Daily S&P Oil & Gas Exp. & Prod. Bull 2X Shares (ETF) GUSH

On Wednesday morning, we tagged GUSH for observation, and after just a few sessions , it came up off Wednesday’s low at 20.37 fairly convincingly.

On Thursday, this fund ran to a new high of 29.25, which marked a two-session upswing totaling a relatively modest yet respectable 44% increase. We will continue to monitor GUSH, which was a $500/share fund just six weeks ago.

Levi Strauss & Co. LEVI – Options Update 

We signaled a range of LEVI calls last week, also on Wednesday, in the LEVI 04/17 $12-13 Calls, and saw some solid gains from those ideas in the final two days of the short week. Both contract sets experienced multi-bag gains as follows:

LEVI 04/17 $12-13 Calls
$12:.80-2.55 (+150%)
$13: .30-1.70 (+283%)

These plays expire on Friday, so we’ll leave them on the radar to see what they have in store for this fresh trading week.
