Recapping Options Runners, Fresh Plays

Markets Rip on Monday:

We were a little light on options activity with one of the two ideas we signaled in yesterday’s report, but fortunately for us, the day was marked by a sizable surge in the markets. That not only sent our SPY 12/12 $393-394 Calls for the day on a major run, but we saw new highs in several of the December 16th Calls we’ve been tracking in other chains in recent weeks.

We signaled the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls for observation on December 2nd, and both the GTLB 12/16 $45 Calls and the FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls we targeted on the 6th. Here are the full breakdowns of yesterday’s SPY’s, and the performance of the other plays over the aforementioned date ranges:

Thursday’s Runners, Potential Friday Plays

Thursday’s Top Plays:

We fared rather well with the options targets we selected in yesterday morning’s premarket report, having formulated four possible plays, and being answered with significant intraday moves in three of the four. We call those pretty good odds, and will do our best to continue this run through the end of this short trading week and beyond.

As for yesterday’s winning areas of interest, we’re talking about the SPY 09/09 $397.50-396 Puts, the GME Weekly $27-26 Puts, and the BILI Weekly $20.50-21.50 Calls. The SPY targets had the most potential for intraday trades by far, but all of the opportunities we observed were noteworthy.

SPY 09/09 $397.50-396 Puts
$397.50: 1.17-3.85 (+229%)
$397: 1.02-3.56 (+249%)

Starting the Week Off Right, Keeping it Rolling

More Options Rippers:

Once again we came up with some solid options plays yesterday. A couple of the fresh ideas we formulated and passed along in our premarket report fared rather well. We led off with some SPY Puts which worked out from the outset, as the markets dragged their feet until around noon. We also had a bullish set of calls in the Coke chain which afforded ourselves and our readers a decent shot at some sizable intraday profit opportunities. The other pair of ideas from yesterday’s report were longer term calls with expiration in late May, so we’ll come back to those at a later date.

Our winning targets for the day were the SPY 04/25 $426-424 Puts and the KO Weekly $64-66 Calls, and here were the gains that were there for the taking on those:

SPY 04/25 $426-424 Puts
$426: .87-2.44 (+180%)
$425: .54-1.75 (+224%)
$424: .34-1.19 (+250%)
_____

KO Weekly $64-66 Calls
$64: 1.33-2.29 (+72%)
$65: .70-1.45 (+107%)
$66: .31-.75 (+141%)
