Serious Options Runners, New Plays

Tuesday’s Clean Options Sweep:

It was another beautiful day for our options trading prospects on Tuesday. We lofted four potential plays in our premarket report and every single one returned significant intraday movement and thus a chance to bag some quick profits on the session.

Out specific targets of interest were the LMT Weekly $495-500 Calls, the BAC Weekly $30-31 Calls, the GS Weekly $330-325 Puts, and the JNJ Weekly $165-167.50 Calls. With the exception of only two contract sets in the entirety of those ranges, which posted percentage swings in the 90’s, every other strike yield double-bag moves or better! Here are the ranges and total possible gains they produced:

Recapping Monday’s Movers, New Targets

Monday’s Options Recaps:

We were faced with rather slim pickings yesterday with regard to the type of big name, large-cap earnings reporters we typically like to take advantage of, but we didn’t let that stop us from picking a couple winners to kick off the trading week. Whenever we get hit with a dry spell for earnings, we always manage to find decent plays in their stead.

Yesterday’s premarket report focused on the EDR 04/21 $22.50-25 Calls, and the SAIC 04/21 $105-110 Calls, and the intraday results we witnessed were rather good. Here’s the breakdown of their daily activity and the total percentage gains that were on the table:

EDR 04/21 $22.50-25 Calls
$22.50:
 .60-.96 (+60%)
$25: .10-.20 (+100%)
_____

SAIC 04/21 $105-110 Calls
$105
 3.23-6.63 (+105%)
$110: 1.20-2.90 (+142%)

Friday Recaps, Fresh Plays For Monday

Friday’s Options Review: 

We offered up a mixed bag of possible options trading ideas on Friday, with most of them falling under the bearish category. The markets provided impetus in both directions, and that provided us with the volatility needed to see some very nice gain opportunities. The only targets that went the wrong way on us were our AAPL Puts, but the impressive new highs in the three AI sets we were tracking last week made up the difference, and then some.

Our runners from Friday’s report were the QCOM Weekly $135-134 Puts, the AMZN Weekly $110-108 Puts, and the GILD Weekly $84-85 Calls. Our tracked ideas on AI were the AI Weekly $20-20.50 & $22 Calls, from our reports on the 1st and the 2nd, respectively) and those posted some really good new highs in addition to the stock itself making a solid move up. Here’s how things broke down for us on Friday:

QCOM Weekly $135-134 Puts
$135:
 .08-.67 (+737%)
