4 for 4 Thursday, Fresh Ideas to Finish the Week

Another Clean Sheet on Thursday:

Things went very well for us for the fourth straight day of the week yesterday, with our premarket report for Thursday’s session going nicely to plan. We had signaled a batch of four potential plays for the session, and saw pretty good intraday activity out of all of them. Things have been a little dry on the earnings front, but we’ve still managed to get along quite nicely.

Our designated targets for the day were the ADBE Weekly $590-600 Calls, the JBL Weekly $120 Calls, the MTDR 01/19 $55-60 Calls, and the SPY 12/14 $472-473 Calls. The intraday moves they posted were as follows:

BEKE Review, 4 Fresh Options Plays

BEKE Recap:

With both of the options plays we signaled for observation yesterday morning being of the longer-term variety, we don’t have any immediate turnaround to report on those. However we do have an update on another longer-term options strike that we’ve been watching.

We highlighted the BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls a little under three weeks ago on the morning of the 23rd, and as we’ve cruised through this trading week en route to their expiration today, we’ve seen these plays make some very respectable moves, even as the landscape for options trading continues to taper as we head through another dry period for reporters.

BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 
1.41-3.65 (+70%)
$17.50: .50-1.45 (+191%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/16 $387-384 Puts*
FAST 10/21 $47.50-50 Calls
NTLA Weekly $70-65 Puts*
ADBE Weekly $305-300 Puts*

*Please don’t try to trade options on their day of expiration unless you are a well-seasoned trader. Not something for you beginners to attempt just yet, but we’ll get you there! 


Nu-Med Plus Inc. NUMD – Recap:

For a more recent rehash, we just signaled NUMD as a potential OTC runner in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock responded with quite the solid session. From a daily low of .028 the stock ripped all the way up to a high of .0605, which works out to an intraday pop on the order of a very respectable 116%

More Options Gainers, Fresh Plays

Options Rehash:

As we’ve already mentioned this week, the landscape for earnings reporters and the subsequent frenzy they produce has been growing thin once again as we head into another quiet period. We won’t let that stop us from rooting out the best ideas we can, and yesterday’s quick-strike play, the DOOO Weekly $70-75 Calls, worked pretty well for us.

Additionally, we signaled a possible longer-term play, the AFG 09/16 $130-132 Calls in a report from a couple of weeks back, which made a noteworthy move we’ve like to review as well.

DOOO Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70:
 3.02-5.50 (+233%)
$75: .70-2.85 (+307%)
_____

AFG 09/16 $130-132 Calls
$130: 1.33-3.43 (+158%)
$132: .35-2.65 (+657%)
