Reviewing Thursday’s Movers, Trio of Fresh Ideas

Thursday Recap:

We had something of a rough outing on Thursday as the post-holiday hangover continues. We had four possible plays lined up in our premarket report and saw appreciable upswings in just two of them. Although stocks currently appear on track to close out the first week of the new year with losses, we’re quite optimistic that a turnaround will begin to materialize. We should be back in business next week as earnings reporters crop up to add interest, and traders continue to shake off the cobwebs.

Yesterday’s green plays were the NVDA Weekly $135-136 Calls, and the JNJ Weekly $145 Calls, and these were the intraday runs they registered in the first session of 2025:

NVDA Weekly $135-136 Calls
$135: 1.60-4.24 (+165%)
$136: 1.88-3.16 (+68%)
_____

JNJ Weekly $145 Calls
$230: .20-.33 (+65%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 01/03 $585-586 Calls*
SQ Weekly $88-89 Calls*
CRNC 01/17 $10 Calls

*Trading options contracts on their day of expiration should only be attempted by experienced traders

Tuesday’s Activity, 4 New Potential Targets

Tuesday’s Movers:

We finished out 2024 in solid fashion, with two out of the three possible plays we were tracking in our premarket report putting up some pretty good gains. This holiday season has definitely been a challenge, and we didn’t see a Santa Claus rally this year, but we fully expect things to pick back up around here in a big way starting on Tuesday, when we’ll be into some big name earnings reports once again.

As for Tuesday’s half day, here were the figures from the two runners on our options watchlist, the SPY 12/31 $589-590 Calls, and the RL Weekly 01/17 $230-240 Calls:

6000% Gainer Recap, 5 Fresh Ideas

Winning Options Review:

We went two for three on our ideas from our premarket report yesterday morning, a performance that is literally not half bad. Not to mention the fact that the ideas we did have put up some really nice double and multibag runs on the day.

In addition to our winning plays, the ASML Weekly $990-980 Puts, and the JNJ Weekly $150-152.50 Calls, we also want to swing back around and recap a target we selected last Thursday morning, the WDFC 07/19 $250 Calls which absolutely skyrocketed en route to a SIXTY-BAGGER! That’s a great way to end the week, as we will be taking an extremely rare vacation day tomorrow. We’ll see everyone bright and early Monday morning to kick off another great trading week filled with opportunities.

ASML Weekly $990-980 Puts
$990: 26.06-58.21 (+123%)
