SPY Puts Explode, Other Updates, & Fresh Ideas

Options Review: 

We’re ready to kick off yet another trading week, and we’re going to start off by going over our winning ideas from Friday’s premarket report. Which is to say, all three of the ideas we put forth for our readers.

We were bearish on everything for the day and fared very well with the help of the markets tanking throughout the afternoon and into the close. Our specific targets were the NFLX Weekly $420-400 Puts, the ISRG Weekly $278.33-276.67 Puts, and the SPY 01/21 $446-444 Puts. Here are the total runs and possible gains on the day:

Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas – Form-4 Plays:

We do typically like to stick with options plays that coincide with big name earnings reporters, but we always like to scan for Form-4’s (insider transactions) and formulate ideas in those instances where we like the chart setup.

We’ve got a couple of potential targets which fit that bill with huge amounts of shares being soaked up in ASAN last week, and a large $10M block being purchased in PFSI yesterday. These transactions give us at least a reasonable confidence that those involved believe that the future looks brighter than the present.

ASAN 01/21 $110-120 Calls
PFSI 12/17 $65 Calls 

Options Ideas – Earnings Plays: 

Of course we don’t want to leave out our bread and butter, so we’ve also taken a look at what the earnings calendar has to offer this morning.

Build-A-Bear and Ambarella are a couple in that category that our catching our eye today, so we’ll hash up some ideas for those as well:

BBW 12/17 $17.50 Calls
AMBA Weekly $197.50-207.50 Calls

Tesoro Enterprises, Inc. TSNP

We have been tracking TSNP for a couple of weeks via our extended watchlist, first mentioning it on October 28th, at which time the stock was trading for as little as .0005. We included followup reminders on both Wednesday and yesterday morning. What the stock has done in the short time we’ve been watching it has been really impressive.

From Wednesday morning alone it has posted a range of .0025-.0061 (+144%), but from our initial low of .0005 to yesterday’s high of .0061 marks an incredible run of 1120% in just over two weeks!
