Friday’s Rippers, 3 New Ideas

Fantastic Friday Finish:

Things really could not have gone much better for us on Friday to close out the short trading week. We had highlighted potential options plays in three chains and got awfully good results from each of the posted ideas in our premarket report for the day. Our 2024 calendar year has been exceptional thus far, with very nearly everything we touch turning to potential gold.

The ideas that we had hashed out for Friday’s session were the SPY 01/19 $478-480 Calls, the TRV Weekly $200-210 Calls, and the SLB Weekly $48-49 Calls, and here were the intraday upswings each of those contract sets recorded on the day:

SPY 01/19 $478-480 Calls
$478:
 .63-4.71 (+648%)
$479: .33-3.78 (+1045%)
$480: .15-2.83 (+1787%)
_____

TRV Weekly $200-210 Calls
$200: 6.96-11.80 (+69%)
$210: .05-1.90 (+3700%)
_____

SLB Weekly $48-49 Calls
$48: 1.13-2.43 (+115%)
$48.50: .76-1.81 (+138%)
$97: .46-1.36 (+195%)

We also have an update for the longer-term SAVE Calls that we initially highlighted as a possible recovery play in our report this past Wednesday morning. Essentially the stock performed exactly as we said we believed it would, coming down a little lower before bouncing back, and giving us the kind of gains we were looking for. We might have expected it to take slightly longer than it did, but our vision came to fruition by the end of what was a really great short trading week.

SAVE 02/16 $5.00-7.50 Calls
$5.00: .68-2.60 (+282%)
$7.50: .25-1.46 (+484%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

Without any interesting earnings reporters dropping figures this morning, we’re just going to go with a potential play on the SPY, and then we’ve identified a couple of longer-term potential plays to keep an eye on in the days and weeks ahead.

SPY 01/22 $482-483 Calls*
PBF 02/16 $43-44 Calls

MEGA Moves in the SPY, Trio of Fresh Ideas

Huge SPY Moves, Options Recap:

The markets absolutely ripped on Thursday, and the feeling has continued into today where the S&P 500 seems set to open above its all time high from January of 2022. That meant really good things for the SPY Calls we featured in yesterday’s premarket report. In fact, three of our four daily options candidates were calls, and all three of them produced really nice intraday upswings.

Our winning targets for the session were the SPY 01/18 $473-475 Calls, the TSM Weekly $109-111 Calls, and the DFS Weekly $96-97.50 Calls, and those SPY $475 Calls were the very clear favorite, as they put up some truly astonishing figures, to the tune of more than a SIXTY-BAGGER in the $475’s:

SPY 01/18 $473-475 Calls
$473: .44-4.00 (+809%)
$474: .16-3.00 (+1775%)
$475: .03-2.01 (+6600%)
_____

TSM Weekly $109-111 Calls
$109:
 1.41-4.05 (+187%)
$110: .83-3.40 (+310%)
$111: .49-2.53 (+416%)
_____

DFS Weekly $96-97.50 Calls
$96:
 2.15-2.96 (+38%)
$97: .88-1.25 (+42%)
$97.50: .79-1.75 (+121%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 01/19 $478-480 Calls*
TRV Weekly $200-210 Calls*
SLB Weekly $48-49 Calls*

Big Numbers From Friday, Fresh Possibilities

Kicking Off a New Week on a Win Streak:

We closed out the trading week on Friday in grand fashion, continuing the incredible run of success we’ve been having. Out of every set of potential options plays we signaled all week long, only ONE failed to produce instant results on the day we alerted it. Just one idea shy of a perfect week, as the four fresh ideas we formulated for Friday’s premarket report all returned big time intraday gain opportunities.

Those four plays to close out that insanely strong weekly performance were the ALV Weekly $90-100 Calls, the SLB Weekly $57-55 Puts, the AXP Weekly $175-170 Puts, and the ISRG Weekly $340-332.50 Puts. Here are the amazing gain chances they afforded us to close out the week.

ALV Weekly $90-100 Calls
$90: 7.00-13.73 (+96%)

Digital World Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:DWAC) – Recap:

We also have a brief recap on DWAC, which we alerted in Friday’s extended watchlist. This NASDAQ play went on a pretty impressive single-session run for a $16 stock. It posted a low of 16.25 before going on to hit 25.85 on the day, which works out to a gain of 59%
