Great Start to the Week, 5 New Targets

Great Start to the Trading Week:

It’s always pleasing when we can get off on the right foot to open up a fresh week of trading, and we were quite pleased with yesterday’s spot-on performance. We signaled interest in tracking a group of five potential options targets in our premarket report, and we ended up seeing some nice intraday upswings in each and every one of them. Being in the thick of another earnings season certainly doesn’t hurt our efforts to find movers every day.

Midweek Updates, Trio of New Ideas

Midweek Options Recaps:

We offered up a pair of short term and a pair of longer term ideas in our premarket report yesterday, and as is pretty typical, we saw some good movement out of the weekly plays, and not so much instant gratification from those that expire next month. We usually gravitate to those kind of ideas during earnings low periods, and we certainly have been short on big name reporters this week. But we’ll continue to monitor those interests into October, and keep trying to point out whatever looks best to us on a daily basis.

As for yesterday’s weekly plays, which were the CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls and the BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts, we observed the following intraday trading activity and gain potential:

CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70: 3.00-4.20 (+40%)
$75: 1.09-2.66 (+144%)
_____

BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50: 1.63-1.93 (+18%)
$15: .05-.10 (+100%)

Fresh Options:
SMTC Weekly $22-23 Calls
SPY 09/14 $447-448 Calls
BABA Weekly $87-89 Calls

Big Name Earnings Plays & More

Options Reviews:

Things got off to a pretty lackluster start to the week yesterday. While both of our selected options ideas in our premarket report did record positive intraday movement, the level of the gains they achieved didn’t really rise to our particularly high standards. Today should be a lot more exciting, with a much more interesting crop of earnings reporters.

Yesterday’s targets were the PHG 05/19 $22.50 Calls, and the KO Weekly $65 Calls, and the daily moves they made are as follows. We also have an update on the NTLA 05/19 $35-40 Calls, which we put on our radar back on the 10th, and subsequently made a really nice move.

PHG 05/19 $22.50 Calls
$22.50: .35-.45 (+29%)
_____

KO Weekly $65 Calls
$65: .14-.22 (+57%)
_____

NTLA 05/19 $35-40 Calls
$35: 3.30-6.10 (+85%)
$40: 1.25-3.80 (+204%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
NVS 05/19 $105 Calls
MCD Weekly $292.50-297.50 Calls
PEP Weekly $187.50-190 Calls
RTX Weekly $104 Calls

Massive Runners from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Major Success:

We’re happy to be kicking off this brand new trading week on a high note this morning, after the 5-pack of possible targets we highlighted in our premarket report on Friday produced some serious opportunities for us. It was the second straight session that we had offered up five ideas, and all five worked out, following Thursday’s successful picks, and once again the potential gains were significant.

We had targeted the CSX Weekly $31.50-32 Calls, the PG Weekly $152.50-155 Calls, the SAP Weekly $130 Calls, the ALV Weekly $90 Puts, and the HCA Weekly $280-285 Calls. Every last one of the contracts in those ranges at least made a double on the day, with many of them scoring wins that were a heck of a lot bigger. Here’s the breakdown of those performances:

CSX Weekly $31.50-32 Calls
$31.50: .15-.50 (+233%)
$32: .01-.15 (+1400%)
_____
