Wednesday’s Impeccable Run, Today’s New Ideas

Clean Sweep on Options:

We posted another excellent performance yesterday in terms of the potential options ideas that we submitted for observation in our premarket report. We selected a four-pack of plays that had an interesting look in early trading and managed to squeeze some pretty good opportunities out of the whole lot of them.

The targets that we were tracking were the SAVA Weekly $47.50-48.50 Calls, the THO 10/21 $70-75 Calls, the FTNT 10/21 $45-50 Calls and the SPY 09/28 $363-365 Calls. We also saw another big day out of an idea from Tuesday’s report, the COST Weekly $485-490 Calls, so we’ll include yesterday’s figures on those as well.

SAVA Weekly $47.50-48.50 Calls
$47.50: 2.68-5.21 (+94%)

Recaps from the Short Week, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps: 

Our options idea for the TWTR chain from Thursday morning’s premarket report returned good intraday results despite the stock trending in the wrong direction. The markets were subdued on Thursday, but that also played well into the bearish ideas we had signaled in the two sessions prior. On Tuesday we signaled some puts in the KMX chain, and on Wednesday, we added JPM to the mix. In both cases, Thursday’s session brought new highs for us.

Our exact targets were the TWTR 04/14 $47-49 Calls, the JPM Weekly $129-127 Puts, and the KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts, and here are the updated figures on the moves we observed in those plays:

TWTR 04/14 $47-49 Calls
$47: .26-.84 (+223%)
$48: .16-.55 (+243%)
$49: .10-.35 (+250%)
_____

JPM Weekly $129-127 Puts
$129: 1.51-3.83 (+154%)
$128: .92-2.97 (+223%)
$127: .67-1.93 (+188%)

KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts
$105: 4.50-12.90 (+187%)
$100: 1.65-7.80 (+372%)

KMX, SPY Options Recaps: 

We had even more continued success with our options ideas as we reached the halfway point of this 4-day trading week yesterday, including the third successful flip on our attitudes toward the SPY, which has been very kind to us this week. The day ended with some nice results from the two sets of plays we designated for observation.

We were looking at the KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts, which put up some really nice figures, and the SPY 04/12 $441-444 Calls, which ran out of the gate and posted some more modest yet still very respectable gains early in the session.

The trading ranges and total potential profits that could have been banked off of those ideas were as follows: 

KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts
$105: 4.50-11.76 (+161%)
$100: 1.65-6.80 (+312%)
$97.50: .87-4.48 (+416%)

SPY 04/12 $441-444 Calls
$441: 3.40-5.61 (+65%)
$442: 2.82-4.89 (+73%)
$443: 2.27-4.15 (+83%)
$444: 1.80-3.46 (+92%)
