Ending the Trading Week on a High Note

Bearish Plays Yield Gains:

We have been shrewdly hitting on big options plays this week, and we carried that trend through yesterday’s session. Things looked grim for stocks in the premarket, so we signaled a couple of bearish ideas to take advantage of the day’s sentiment. It worked like a charm, with both of our designated sets of puts providing ample opportunity for intraday gains.

We were targeting the PATH 04/14 $25-22.50 Puts, and the WBA Weekly $47.50-46.50 Puts, and got some very nice movement from those plays, with ranges and percentage gains as follows:

PATH 04/14 $25-22.50 Puts
$25:
 2.20-4.71 (+114%)
$22.50: .95-2.65 (+179%)
_____

WBA Weekly $47.50-46.50 Puts

$47.50: 2.27-3.27 (+44%)
$47: 1.52-2.77 (+82%)
$46.50: 1.30-2.20 (+69%)

SPY 04/01 $452-453 Calls*
BABA Weekly $112-116 Calls*
YETI 05/20 $70-75 Calls

Getting Back on Track for a Fresh Trading Week

New Options Highs: 

First thing’s first, to start off this fresh trading week we’d like to apologize for the lack of a newsletter on Friday morning. We have only missed a couple of trading days in our entire history, and this time a power outage at our offices prevented us from doing our normal work, but we’re back in the saddle fully powered up and ready for another solid week of stock and options speculation!

So what we’re going to do before we hop right back on track, is go over the new highs that our options ideas from Wednesday morning registered to close things out on Friday, and then we’ll jump in with some fresh options ideas for today. As you can see in Wednesday’s report, we were tracking the YY Weekly $29-32 Calls, the BABA Weekly $85-90 Calls, and the DKNG 06/17 $20 Calls.

With the exception of the YY $29’s, we got new highs in all of these plays on Friday, so these figures represent the total possible gains in a two-day swing in these targets: 

YY Weekly $29-32 Calls
$30: 3.02-12.05 (+299%)
$31: 2.21-11.09 (+402%)

Options Movers, Fresh Plays & More

Wednesday’s Solid Options Plays:

We’re back to our typical routine this morning, having provided our readers with a variety of post-earnings options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We simply go where we feel the opportunities will be the greatest, and the volatility following a quarterly report is the most dependable in terms of producing the kind of price action that lends itself to big intraday gains.

Our selection yesterday included the EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Calls, and the ATVI Weekly $82-85 Calls. EXPI made the most impressive move on the chart which led to some really impressive moves on the day. ATVI recorded respectable performances as well even if they didn’t quite keep pace with our hottest runner.

Here were the total positive moves and potential gains that were on the table:

EXPI 08/20 $40-45 Calls
$40: 1.55-8.30 (+435%)
$45: 1.30-4.60 (+254%)

ATVI Weekly $82-85 Calls
$82:
 .53-1.31 (+147%)
$83: .38-.82 (+116%)
