HEICO Corporation HEI – Options Update:

This week has lived up to the stereotype of a typical holiday trading week between Christmas and the New Year. No one is reporting earnings, not much has been going on, and the opportunities have been much fewer and further between. Today we do have an update on a set of options contracts that we alerted on Tuesday of last week.

We signaled interest in the HEI 01/20 $150 Calls, and they have made a modest but respectable move for us over that time span.

HEI 01/20 $150 Calls
$150:
 3.70-7.50 (+103%)

CALM 01/20 $60-57.50 Puts


Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. KALA – Recap:

We had placed KALA on watch via yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. Our EW’s often consist of a mix of big board and OTC stocks. In this case, KALA trades on the upper exchange, and yet still managed to explode off of our list with a single-session multibag run yesterday. The stock ran from a low of 6.00 yesterday and has now touched 19.73 in premarket trading today, marking a total rise of 229%

Big Name Earnings Plays on the Board

Monday Options Recaps:

We did our best to kick off another fresh trading week on a high note yesterday morning, although we didn’t quite have much of a slate of big name earning reporters with which to work. In our premarket report, we offered up a group of four potential options plays, and we saw respectable intraday movement from three of them. We would expect today to be a little more exciting, with a much larger selection of earnings dropping in the premarket this morning.

Yesterday’s best opportunities came from the XPO 11/18 $50-52.50 Calls, the EMR Weekly $87-90 Calls, and the GOOG 11/11 $96-97 Calls. The overall intraday ranges and total possible gains that they produced were as follows:

XPO 11/18 $50-52.50 Calls
$50:
 2.93-4.40 (+50%)
$52.50: 1.55-2.88 (+86%)

EMR Weekly $87-90 Calls
$87:

BEKE Review, 4 Fresh Options Plays

BEKE Recap:

With both of the options plays we signaled for observation yesterday morning being of the longer-term variety, we don’t have any immediate turnaround to report on those. However we do have an update on another longer-term options strike that we’ve been watching.

We highlighted the BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls a little under three weeks ago on the morning of the 23rd, and as we’ve cruised through this trading week en route to their expiration today, we’ve seen these plays make some very respectable moves, even as the landscape for options trading continues to taper as we head through another dry period for reporters.

BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 
1.41-3.65 (+70%)
$17.50: .50-1.45 (+191%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/16 $387-384 Puts*
FAST 10/21 $47.50-50 Calls
NTLA Weekly $70-65 Puts*
ADBE Weekly $305-300 Puts*

*Please don’t try to trade options on their day of expiration unless you are a well-seasoned trader. Not something for you beginners to attempt just yet, but we’ll get you there! 


Nu-Med Plus Inc. NUMD – Recap:

For a more recent rehash, we just signaled NUMD as a potential OTC runner in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock responded with quite the solid session. From a daily low of .028 the stock ripped all the way up to a high of .0605, which works out to an intraday pop on the order of a very respectable 116%
