5 Big Ideas to Finish Out the Trading Week

Thursday Review:

It was another good day for us on Thursday, keeping up a solid run we’ve been having this week with a vast majority of the picks issued. In yesterday’s premarket report, we went with three possibilities from the morning’s earnings calendar, and from all three we saw some pretty nice intraday upswings. Things should play similarly today, as we’ve got another big slate of earnings reporters in the calendar.

Yesterday’s runners were the CAT Weekly $350-347.50 Puts, the HON Weekly $195-200 Calls, and the META Weekly $425-417.50 Puts. Here were the best moves we witnessed in those plays for the session::

A Winning Wednesday, 3 New Opportunities

Wednesday turned out to be another really good day for our options ideas. Four out of the five potential targets from our premarket report for the day were based off of untraded-upon earnings reports, and all four of those yielded some good intraday opportunities. The fifth was a swing-trade idea based of of some insider buying records, and we may yet come back for that one at a later date.
