Big Options Runners, Fresh Ideas

Another Options Clean Sweep:

We kept our recent trend of options clean sweeps going for yesterday morning’s premarket report, wherein we included a nicely varied set of four potential plays, all of which produced notable intraday movement for us. It continued our recent success of excellent targets, despite the fact that up to this point, it hasn’t been a big week for earnings at all.

That didn’t stop us from scoping out four of what we felt were good opportunities to make daily gains, which were the SPY 03/27 $396-398 Calls, the UNFI 04/21 $22.50-25 Calls, the BNTX Weekly $124-123 Puts, and the HTHT 04/21 $50 Calls. Those plays recorded the following intraday activity and total possible profits for ourselves and our readers:

SPY 03/27 $396-398 Calls
$396: .93-2.34 (+154%)
$397: .48-1.44 (+200%)
$398: .21-.71 (+238%)

Kicking Off Another Short Trading Week

Options Play Review: 

Heading into the long weekend on Friday, we took just one stab at a set of potential quick-strike weekly targets. We went to the short side on Micron Technology and thanks in part to an early dip in the markets, that idea yielded a pretty good set of runners.

We were zeroed in on the MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts which produced the following multi-bag intraday runs for us:

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
$53.50: .66-2.06 (+212%)
$53: .43-1.65 (+284%)
$52: .20-.85 (+325%)

Additionally, we wanted to do a quick recap of a couple of the plays we signaled interest in earlier in the week. We flagged ideas in General Mills and McCormick in Wednesday morning’s report that finished out the week with strength and posted new highs. Our targets were the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which put up the following trading ranges and total possible gains between Wednesday and Friday.

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 1.69-5.90 (+249%)
$72.50: .75-3.50 (+367%)

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-8.10 (+35%)
$85: 2.01-3.60 (+80%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls 

Gain Clients, Inc. GCLT – OTC Recap:

We also have a brief update on GCLT, an OTC stock we flagged in Friday morning’s extended watchlist. The made a very respectable intraday move, running from a low of .018 on up to a high of .0349. That works out to a single-session rip of 94% and that came on its second-highest daily volume ever recorded, with the previous session being the first.

Cautious Yet Bold Options Strategy Keeps Bearing Fruit

Yesterday’s Options Success: 

It seems like the winds of fortune have been gusting in our favor for quite some time now, with the options targets we outlined in yesterday’s morning report all producing gain opportunities on some level. That makes for the fourth straight session in which every single one of our interests has given traders a shot as compounding their funds.

Our daily focus was trained on the AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts, the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls, and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which all put forth some measure of intraday run in what amounted to a bit of a choppy day for the markets as a whole. Things in that regard have become rather harder to predict, but we’ve been trying very hard to select potential plays with a good risk/reward balance. Here’s where our efforts led yesterday:

AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts
$75: 2.49-4.49 (+80%)
$70: 1.29-2.20 (+71%)
_____

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 2.50-5.10 (+104%)

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-7.20 (+20%)
$85: 2.01-3.37 (+68%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)
