SMAR Options Review, Fresh Ideas

Smartsheet, Inc. SMAR – Options Review:

First off, we’d just like to apologize for the lack of a premarket report on Friday. An untimely power outage prevented us from getting anything out to readers in time for the market open. In the past dozen years, we have missed maybe five trading days, if that, so it’s not something one should expect to see repeated anytime soon.

In the meantime, we did see some new highs in the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls prior to their expiration at week’s end, which we wanted to report back on today before kicking off a fresh trading week. We have been tracking these calls since December 2nd, and here are the figures and total possible profits we witnessed over that span of roughly two weeks:

SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls
$35: 1.55-7.50 (+384%)
$40: .34-2.65 (+679%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
SHOP 01/06 $36.50-37.50 Calls
AAPL 01/06 $139-141 Calls 


OTC Recaps:

We’ve also got a couple of quick updates on the recent performance of a couple of the OTC plays we’ve tagged in our extended watchlists. When we left off on Thursday, we had been tracking both of these stocks for a week.
