Reviewing Thursday’s Movers, 4 New Possibilities

Thursday’s Options Recap:

Things ended on a positive note for us on Thursday, just before we broke for the holiday weekend. In our premarket report for the day, we were looking at three potential options trading targets, and everything we came up with produced double-bag intraday runs or better. It’s always nice to end a trading week with a whole slate full of good ideas, and that was certainly the case.

We were considering the SPY 03/28 $522-523 Calls, the MLKN 04/19 $25 Puts, and the RH Weekly $325-330 Calls, and here are the figures those contracts produced on the session:

SPY 03/28 $522-523 Calls
$522: 1.23-2.65 (+115%)
$523: .58-1.71 (+195%)
_____

MLKN 04/19 $25 Puts
$25: .80-1.65 (+106%)
_____

RH Weekly $325-330 Calls
$325: 5.80-28.89 (+398%)
$330: 5.00-23.31 (+366%)

BOIL Weekly $13.50-14.50 Calls

Ending the Week on a High Note, 3 New Ideas

Recapping Wednesday’s Winners:

We’re closing out this short trading week in our favorite way, by reporting another clean sweep of our options trading board from yesterday morning’s premarket report. We had formed five potential plays for our readers’ consideration, and we saw some really nice multibag intraday runs posted. It’s the best way to finish up with the final report of the week, and we hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend!

Yesterday’s runners were the DNUT 04/19 $17.50 Calls, the MRK Weekly $131-132 Calls, the GME Weekly $13-12 Puts, the CTAS 04/19 $660-680 Calls and the NCNO 04/19 $35-40 Calls. Here are the intraday moves they recorded, only a couple of which fell short of the double-bag mark, and with one target actually a exceeding one thousand percent rip on the day:

A Good Day for Puts:  

It was a challenging day for the markets yesterday, as they experienced quite the bloodbath, and that did not bode particularly well for some of our bullish ideas, but fortunately, we had some bears on the docket as well and saw some very nice moves in those. Just the latest example of why we typically try to include a mixed bag of ideas as much as we can.

Our puts from yesterday were the UNFI 10/20 $15 Puts and the THO 10/20 $90 Puts, with the TSLA Weekly $245-242.50 Puts from Monday’s report tacking on some new highs for us as well. So the figures below represent yesterday’s activity on UNFI and THO, while the TSLA numbers reflect a two-day swing:


UNFI 10/20 $15 Puts
$15: .13-1.60 (+1131%)
