Going Bearish on Earnings Reporters

Options Review:

We’ve been back on our Midas Touch options trading business over the last several sessions, and yesterday morning was no different. We were just patting ourselves on the back for 100% accuracy on the previous session’s bangers, and we managed to do it again to start this holiday-shortened week.

We signaled ranges on a couple of plays, highlighting the SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls, as well as going short on the CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts. Both turned out to be excellent notions, and the board was fully green for yet another day. The end of this week will be rather subdued, with a day off for Thanksgiving and just a half trading day for Black Friday, so it’s good we’re getting these in now.

Here are the total possible profits that could have been banked off of yesterday’s targets:

SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls
$469: 1.99-4.50 (+126%)
$470: .62-2.40 (+287%)

CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts 
$105: 15.00-22.46 (+50%)
$100: 9.70-18.20 (+88%)
$95: 6.00-13.49 (+125%)

More Options Perfection:

We ended the week in Friday’s report by patting ourselves on the back for the options clean sweep that we managed with Thursday’s ideas. Of course, we formulated a group of fresh ideas for that report as well, and once again, we were flawless.

All three of the fresh options plays that we signaled interest in, recorded huge moves on the day and allowed for some serious single session gain opportunities to anyone who was in on the action. Our specific targets were the PANW Weekly $535-545 Calls, the WDAY Weekly $285-275 Puts, and the AMAT Weekly $150-148 Puts. Regardless of which strikwe point was chosen, the moves were considerable.

Here are the total ranges and possible gains that were made available by those ideas: 

PANW Weekly $535-545 Calls
$535: .83-7.99 (+863%)
$540: .66-5.48 (+730%)
$545: .48-3.62 (+654%)

WDAY Weekly $285-275 Puts

$282.50: 1.85-3.75 (+103%)
$280: .80-6.00 (+650%)
$277.50: 1.02-2.02 (+98%)
$275: .75-1.57 (+109%)

AMAT Weekly $150-148 Puts

$148: .30-.50 (+167%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

The earnings calendar is a little light this for this morning, but we’ve put together a couple of ideas to start things off this week. Some daily SPY Calls with futures currently on the rise, and an extended term short on CRNC.

SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls
