Black Friday Short Week Wrap-Up

Short Week Wrap-Up

We hope everyone enjoyed the midweek Thanksgiving break, and as we gear up to finish out the week with what we expect to be a relatively subdued half-day of trading, we just wanted to highlight the potential gains off of our fresh options ideas from Wednesday’s premarket report.

The session was majorly bullish for stocks as a whole, so our SPY calls were spot on and worked out very nicely, and we saw significant intraday gain opportunities from our targets in the BOX chain as well.

Here are the total daily gains that were on the table for these ideas:

SPY Weekly $314-315 Calls 
$314 Calls – Range: .55-1.43 – Max Gain: 160%
$314.50 Calls – Range: .23-.94 – Max Gain: 309%
$315 Calls – Range: .09-.50 – Max Gain: 456%
_____

BOX Weekly $16-17 Calls
$16 Calls – Range: 1.80-2.90 – Max Gain: 61%
$17 Calls – Range: .95-1.91 – Max Gain: 101%


Fresh Options Idea

The earnings calendar is fairly empty this morning, but we did spot a potential play on the GIL chart. The stock is about to begin to fill a massive gap on the chart, while having just received an analyst upgrade.

We are going to put the Gildan Activewear, Inc. GIL 01/17 $25-35 Calls on watch for what could be a huge opportunity in the coming weeks.

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Recap

We submitted two separate options trading ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the first of which being the AAPL Weekly $160-162.50 Calls. It’s beeen quite some time since we played with the AAPL chain, but it is the stock that originally brought us into the fold of options day and swing trading that we’ve adopted as one of our main functions.

It came as no surprise when the Fed announced no interest rate hike yesterday that the markets responded bullishly and allowed for some very nice multi-bag moves on our designated targets.

$160 Calls – Range: 2.14-6.32 – Max Gain: 195%
$162.50 Calls – Range: 1.05-4.19 – Max Gain: 299%

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Recap 

Our second set of options ideas from yesterday were the SPY Weekly $264-265.50 Calls, and of course, those also fared well with the SPY being an excellent market analog, and another well that we revisit on a regular basis for short term options plays.

The gains on our highlighted contracts were even more impressive in this case, with each and every strike point returning potential gains ranging from 343-598% in a single session.

$264 Calls – Range: 1.07-4.74 – Max Gain: 343%
$264.50 Calls – Range: .82-4.03 – Max Gain: 385%
$265 Calls – Range: .59-3.50 – Max Gain: 493%
$265.50 Calls – Range: .43-3.00 – Max Gain: 598%

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. HPE

There hasn’t been a day in quite some time when we we’ve offered  options trading ideas to our readers and didn’t come out successful. Yesterday was definitely no exception. Our premarket report contained a flag of the HPE Weekly $16.50 & $17 Calls.

In both cases, double bag gains or better could have been achieved, with the $16.50’s making a perfect double as they ran from .55-1.10, and the $17’s pushing the envelope a bit more, rising 186% from .21-.60.


SPDRA S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Options Idea

With the markets appearing to be in line for another solid push, we’re going to confine our fresh idea this morning to the SPY. We have traditionally had much success with trading options in this particular fund.

Today we’re going to be looking at the SPY Weekly $290-291.50 Calls, to watch into the end of the week.
