Going Bearish on Earnings Reporters

Options Review:

We’ve been back on our Midas Touch options trading business over the last several sessions, and yesterday morning was no different. We were just patting ourselves on the back for 100% accuracy on the previous session’s bangers, and we managed to do it again to start this holiday-shortened week.

We signaled ranges on a couple of plays, highlighting the SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls, as well as going short on the CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts. Both turned out to be excellent notions, and the board was fully green for yet another day. The end of this week will be rather subdued, with a day off for Thanksgiving and just a half trading day for Black Friday, so it’s good we’re getting these in now.

Here are the total possible profits that could have been banked off of yesterday’s targets:

SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls
$469:
 1.99-4.50 (+126%)
$470: .62-2.40 (+287%)

CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts 
$105: 15.00-22.46 (+50%)
$100: 9.70-18.20 (+88%)
$95: 6.00-13.49 (+125%)

Paltalk, Inc. PALT – Recap: 

We want to track back slightly this morning to talk about the alerts we posted on PALT last week. We didn’t get a chance to highlight the stock’s performance in our packed Friday newsletter, so we’re going to outline the moves it made as we kick off a fresh trading week today.

Our initial flag of PALT came on Monday morning, at which time the stock was trading for as little as 4.39 a share. PALT subsequently made a dramatic run to a high of 15.20, which marks a total possible gain of 246% for anyone who was along for the ride.
