Tuesday’s 5 Winners, 5 Fresh Plays for Today

A Clean Options Sweep:

With the help of a hugely bullish session for the markets yesterday, we were able to see some really nice gains on the options plays we included in our premarket report. All five of our fresh earnings-related targets produced significant upward movement on the day, and we fully expect more of the same today, with an even more impressive slate of earnings reporters on the calendar this morning.

Yesterday’s runners were the MMM Weekly $105-107 Calls, the SHW Weekly $280 Calls, the VZ Weekly $33.50-35 Calls, the FFIV 08/18 $155-165 Calls, and the LOGI 08/18 $65-67.50 Calls. Here are the breakdowns of the intraday runs and total possible gains they recorded on the day:

Options Updates, 5 New Ideas

Various Options Recaps:

We fared reasonably well with regard to options yesterday. In out premarket report, both of the short term plays we signaled interest in produced sizable intraday runs. Those were the DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls, and the SPY 07/24 $452-453 Calls. We had another idea with an August expiration that didn’t produce instant results. However, a set of August calls in another chain that we’ve been tracking since our report a few Mondays ago on the 10th, the PLCE 08/18 $25 Calls, have gone on to hit new highs.

The gains for the DPZ and SPY Calls below are obviously from yesterday’s session only, while the figures for the PLCE Calls represent their increase over the past two weeks.

DPZ Weekly $387.50-392.50 Calls
$387.50: 
4.51-10.41 (+131%)
$390: 3.29-9.09 (+176%)

Perfect on Options Plays, 5-Pack of Fresh Ideas

Clean Sweep on Options Plays: 

We are always very pleased when we can formulate multiple sets of options trading ideas for our readers, and have them all turn in winning cards on the day. Yesterday’s offering included three separate sets of ideas, and we saw considerable movement in everything across the board.

We were targeting the LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls, the BRO 02/18 $65-70 Calls, and the AXP Weekly $160-165 Calls in our premarket report, which all recorded very nice moves- particularly the BRO $65’s, which ran extremely hard right from the opening bell and rattled off a gain of more than 1500%

The rest of our ideas also performed quite well, with the following moves and total possible gains on the day: 

LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls
$75: 
3.80-6.00 (+58%)
$80: 1.70-3.10 (+82%)
