Reviewing Friday’s Activity:

We’re kicking off our week a day late this morning, after having to forego yesterday’s report for medical reasons. So what we’re going to do today is track back to Friday’s premarket report, and see how those plays fared to close out last week.

Huge Moves on Thursday, 4 Friday Plays

Small Selection, Big Moves:

Thursday turned out to be another excellent session.

Tuesday’s Top Plays, 4 New Ideas

Another Nice Outing:

The four potential options trading targets that we worked up for our premarket report yesterday yielded some nice intraday results, keeping us steady on our streak of solid plays for the week.

Yesterday’s possible plays were the HD Weekly $385-387.50 Calls, the UNH Weekly $322.50-327.50 Calls, the TCOM 06/20 $65-60 Puts, and the AS 6/20 $35 Calls. These were each strike’s biggest upswings on the day:

Options Recaps, 3 Chances for Friday

Thursday’s Runners:

We went pretty light on options ideas yesterday for our premarket report , including just a pair of possible plays for the session. We’ve been a bit thin on earnings reporters to base our ideas on, and that’s going to be the case today as well. Things should pick up a bit on that front next week.

As for yesterday’s potential targets, the SPY 04/03 $549-546 Puts, and the RH Weekly $175-172.50 Puts, these were the biggest upswings we witnessed in each one for Thursday’s session:

SPY 04/03 $549-546 Puts
$549:
3.96-11.68 (+195%)
$548: 3.25-11.00 (+238%)

$546: 2.06-8.93 (+334%)
