Thursday’s Successes, 5 Ideas for Friday

Recapping Thursday’s Plays:

We fared pretty well with yesterday’s fresh options ideas. We included a slate of five potential plays in our premarket report for the day, and out of those targets, four produced intraday opportunities ranging from decent, to very good.

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.

OTC Recap – Verus International, Inc. VRUS:

We try to keep up with the many stocks we tag in our daily extended watchlists as much as possible. It is a feature we have kept since our pre-options trading days because it often yields solid plays. Such was the case with VRUS this month, which, after first appearing in our reports on June 2nd, has run from super-subpenny well into subpenny territory. We’ve seen an increase from a low of .0005 on up to .0019, which marks a rise of 280%

GM, GIS Options Recaps & More

Options Updates:

We continue plugging away at attempting to find options plays despite having so few earnings reports to rely on as fuel, and yesterday our big name target was GM. Were were observing the GM Weekly $58-59 Calls with the stock in the midst of a pretty impressive run that has generally persisted for roughly the past month.

The stock ran pretty good out of the starting gate yesterday, and that activity allowed for some decent gain opportunities in the pair of contract sets that we were tracking. Here were the intraday runs they recorded:

GM Weekly $58-59 Calls
$58: .94-1.72 (+83%)
$59: .55-1.10 (+100%)
_____

For an additional update, we’ve been tracking the GIS 10/15 $55-50 Calls since the morning of September 22nd, and we wanted to swing back around to report on the new highs we witnessed in those plays. Here are the ranges and total possible gains that were registered there in recent sessions:

GIS 10/15 $55-60 Calls
$55: 3.80-6.95 (+83%)
$57.50: 1.70-4.50 (+165%)
$60: .60-2.15 (+258%)

ULTA Options Review, OTC Runner & More

Winning Options Recap: 

On Friday morning, we were marveling at the performance of all of the excellent options ideas we floated to our readers last week, with nearly every signal we made yielding chances for sizable quick-strike gains.

We ended the week with two final options target suggestions, and unsurprisingly, we hit on both of those as well. Our interests were the ULTA Weekly $335-345 Calls, and the CRM Weekly $232.50-237.50 Calls. ULTA was the favorite by a nose, but they both produced significant chances for intraday profit.

Here are the figures on the ranges and total possible gains on the table for those plays: 

ULTA Weekly $335-345 Calls
$335: 8.69-15.70 (+81%)
$337.50: 7.77-14.40 (+85%)
$340: 5.33-12.90 (+142%)
$342.50: 4.10-9.65 (+135%)
$345: 2.93-8.05 (+175%)
_____

CRM Weekly $232.50-237.50 Calls

$232.50: 6.28-9.82 (+53%)
$235: 4.00-7.50 (+87%)
$237.50: 2.24-5.07 (+126%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

This morning we are going to signal a longer-term set of calls for NGM, which is searching for a bottom at the present time. When the inevitable rebound occurs, there is a massive $10 gap on the chart to the upside which could pave the way for a nice rebound play in the NGM 07/16 $15-17.50 Calls.

We’ll also watch the CAN 06/18 $7.50-10.00 Calls, the KIRK 06/18 $25-27.50 Calls, and the CLDR Weekly $15-16 Calls on the heels of the three companies’ earnings drops this morning.

Bonus Idea:
BABA Weekly $222.50-227.50 Calls


Good Gaming, Inc. GMER – One more brief note on another winning play for us- we signaled GMER in Friday’s extended watchlist and subsequently witnessed a pretty good performance from the stock. It traded in a range from .0461-.174, providing chances at huge gains of up to 277% on the day!
