Kicking Off the First of Two Short Trading Weeks

Dave & Busters Entertainment, Inc. PLAY – Options Review:

We just had a single solitary options idea that we formulated for Friday morning’s premarket report, in the Dave & Busters chain, the PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls. We’ve got an update on this morning to start off this short week, which we expect to be rather laid back, if prior years are any indicator.

There weren’t any other interesting earnings reporters going out on the day, but we managed to eke out some decent gains. We’re going without earnings once again today, but we’ve got some increased activity in the OTC as you’ll read about below.

PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls
$35: 1.03-1.85 (+80%)
$36: .72-1.27 (+76%)
$37: .60-.81 (+35%)


More OTC Recaps:

We tend to lean more heavily on the OTC toward the end of the year, when penny stocks typically heat up compared to the larger markets. Not many large companies are reporting earnings at the moment, and OTC tax loss selling can hammer a lot of these stocks down. That, in turn, causes a wave of opportunistic traders like ourselves to swoop in and accumulate cheap shares. The net result is a heightened landscape of possibility for many over the counter stocks.

Below, we’ve got a group of OTC plays we’ve been tracking in recent reports that posted some new highs on an otherwise mundane Friday. We last alerted STRY and BIEI on the 20th, and GTII just a couple of days later. Here were the updated figures on the total ranges and possible gain opportunities as we closed out the trading week:

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 20th
Range: .0165-.0335 (+103%)
_____

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI
Alerted: December 20th

Another Options Clean Sweep:

We made good on all three sets of options ideas we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report. Turning in a flawless sheet for the second straight day in a row. The markets dipped, which was good for our bearish targets, and there was at least an attempted recovery toward the second half of the session that provided some good intraday movement for our one bullish idea.

The targets in question were the KMX Weekly $54-52 Puts, the PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls, and the MU Weekly $50-48.50 Puts. and as will see below, the potential gains ranged in ascending order from nominal all the way up to excellent. Here’s how the day broke down for us:

KMX Weekly $54-52 Puts
$54:
 .65-.93 (+43%)
$53: .39-.55 (+41%)
$52: .35-.65 (+86%)
_____

PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls
$115:
 .92-2.20 (+139%)
$120: .33-.70 (+112%)
_____

MU Weekly $50-48.50 Puts 
$50: .65-1.62 (+149%)
$49.50: .41-1.15 (+180%)

Muted Start to the Week, Fresh Ideas

Monday’s Options Recap:

The markets got off to a rough start yesterday, and that did negatively impact the scope of our options success with the plays we were monitoring, especially considering they were targets January expirations. We may yet see those rise to the occasion, but for now, our one quick-strike idea from yesterday’s premarket report did make a significant intraday move.

The SPY typically provides a lot of good intraday volatility for us, and is quite often good for solid intraday gains when timed properly. Our actual targets for yesterday were the SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls, and these were the largest intraday swings we witnessed:

SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
$383:
 .65-1.45 (+123%)
$384: .38-.90 (+137%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts
PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
HEI 01/20 $150 Calls


OTC Recaps:

We had another couple of plays that performed well off of yesterday’s extended watchlist. Especially on slow days for options, monitoring these daily selections of mainly OTC stocks has often proved to be a good alternative use of our time.

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .01-.035 (+250%)

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .0031-.0046 (+48%)

4-Pack of Fresh Options Ideas & More

Another Successful Options Sweep: 

 Another daily newsletter, another set of fantastic opportunities to score solid intraday gains. We were firing on all cylinders with our fresh options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report. offering up our takes on what we figured would be four potential plays on the day. We figured correctly, and witnessed another sweep across the board, as the markets flew in the face of the early indicators and traveled up for a vast majority of the session,

That allowed for some excellent single-session moves on all of our designated targets, which were the PLAY Weekly $38-39 Calls, the ASO Weekly $34-37 Calls, the GTLB 06/17 $40-45 Calls, and the KSS Weekly $45-46.50 Calls.

SPY, FUTU Gainers, Fresh Options Plays

Yesterday’s Big Runners: 

Yesterday morning, as is typical for our daily premarket reports, we included a selection of options ideas comprised of both quick-strike and extended-term ideas. There was a lot of good volatility in the markets yesterday, so the quick plays worked out beautifully, while the longer-term target will take some time to mature.

Our spur of the moment ideas were the SPY 06/06 $413-415 Calls and the FUTU Weekly $38.50-40 Calls. In both cases, we had multiple chances for beautiful multi-bag intraday gains. Despite the fact that we are going to see a tapering of earnings reporters in coming weeks, if we continue to see the type of volatility yesterday brought, we should have too hard of a time tracking down opportunities like these.

SPY 06/06 $413-415 Calls
$413:
 .49-1.44 (+194%)
$414: .30-.85 (+183%)
$415: .12-.46 (+283%)
_____

FUTU Weekly $38.50-40 Calls
$38.50: 
2.98-8.75 (+193%)
$39: 2.10-6.57 (+213%)
$39.50: 2.75-7.20 (+162%)
$40: 1.77-8.00 (+352%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
PLAY Weekly $38-39 Calls
ASO Weekly $34-37 Calls
GTLB 06/17 $40-45 Calls

KSS Weekly $45-46.50 Calls
