A Winning Wednesday, 5 Fresh Picks

Wednesday’s Winners:

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we placed a trio of potential options trading ideas on watch, and were pleased with the intraday performances on all three of them. Generally, we don’t often miss on our quick-strike (weekly expiration) ideas. We like to occasionally mix in longer-term swing trade ideas that may take awhile to come to fruition, but our strongest suit is definitely ID’ing plays for ‘today’ on any given day.

Yesterday’s plays were the PDD Weekly $149-152.50 Calls, the GIS Weekly $71-72 Calls, and the INTC Weekly $42.50-43.50 Calls, and all three sets of calls fared rather well. Here were the performances they laid down:

CRWD & PDD Options Update: 

We’ve been cruising right along this week with some really nice options plays yielding up considerable gain chances for ourselves and our readers. Our newsletters yesterday morning contained a bullish and a bearish idea in the CRWD and PDD chains, respectively.

Both companies had just released their earnings reports, and appeared to be gearing up to go in opposite directions. We targeted the CRWD Weekly $197.50-202.50 Calls and the PDD Weekly $152.50-148 Puts, and in both cases, our hunches paid off, with the CRWD ideas clearly being the more potent of the two. .

Here is the rundown of the single-session performances recorded by these plays: 

CRWD Weekly $197.50-202.50 Calls
$197.50: 3.15-14.00 (+344%)
