Wednesday’s 5000% Rippers, SIX New Ideas

5000% Runners on Wednesday!

We really got things back on track yesterday after a fairly lackluster outing on Tuesday. We hashed out a trio of potential option plays, and not only did we see intraday gains from all of them, but there were even a pair of FIVE THOUSAND PERCENT gainers on the board!

Our interests on the day were the, the, and the. It was our SPY Calls that absolutely ripped through the stratosphere and registered those incredible intraday moves. Those aren’t the biggest single session gainers we’ve had in 2023, but they are definitely high up on our list of successful picks. Here’s how it all broke down on Wednesday:

SMAR Options Review, Fresh Ideas

Smartsheet, Inc. SMAR – Options Review:

First off, we’d just like to apologize for the lack of a premarket report on Friday. An untimely power outage prevented us from getting anything out to readers in time for the market open. In the past dozen years, we have missed maybe five trading days, if that, so it’s not something one should expect to see repeated anytime soon.

In the meantime, we did see some new highs in the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls prior to their expiration at week’s end, which we wanted to report back on today before kicking off a fresh trading week. We have been tracking these calls since December 2nd, and here are the figures and total possible profits we witnessed over that span of roughly two weeks:

SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls
$35: 1.55-7.50 (+384%)
$40: .34-2.65 (+679%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
SHOP 01/06 $36.50-37.50 Calls
AAPL 01/06 $139-141 Calls 


OTC Recaps:

We’ve also got a couple of quick updates on the recent performance of a couple of the OTC plays we’ve tagged in our extended watchlists. When we left off on Thursday, we had been tracking both of these stocks for a week.

Global Developments, Inc. GDVM

Fresh Ideas for Big Name Earnings & More

Weekly Options Pop Off:

The back and forth choppiness of the markets recently has really been something to see, and after a rough start to the week on Monday, yesterday’s session flipped and went very bullish. Of the three quick-strike options trading ideas that we formulated in our premarket report, all three produced some very nice gain opportunities. We’ll hold off on the set of August calls we hashed out for NVS, and just focus on the short term plays.

Those contract sets targeted were the HAL Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls, the JNJ Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls, and the IBM Weekly $134-131 Puts. They all turned in good cards for the day, and provided ourselves and our readers with the following intraday gain chances:

HAL Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls 
$28.50: .80-1.29 (+61%)
$29: .53-.99 (+87%)
$29.50: .40-.70 (+75%)

JNJ Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls
$172.50:

Using the SPY to Our Advantage, 3 Fresh Ideas

SPY Puts Surge: 

Once again yesterday, the markets losses are our gains. Our lone options trading idea for the day focused upon a dim view of the SPY, and with another precipitous decline for stocks, we hit the nail right on the head. This is among the reasons why our readers see SPY plays in our newsletters on a highly regular basis, as it tends to be easier to predict the actions of the markets as a whole than it is do so the same for just one. The SPY also sees a lot of intraday volatility which can often lead to opportunities on both sides of the fence in a single session.

In terms of yesterday morning, due to a bit of a drought of earnings reporters, our premarket report contained only one idea, which was the SPY 06/13 $385-383 Puts. Those targets offered up the chance at the following really nice intraday profit chances:

 SPY 06/13 $385-383 Puts
$385: 4.24-11.01 (+160%)
$384: 3.46-10.50 (+203%)
$383: 2.84-9.67 (+240%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
ORCL Weekly $70-72.50 Calls
COP Weekly $110-112 Calls
FERG Weekly $100-110 Calls


ProText Mobility, Inc. TXTM – Recap:

We also wanted to provide a quick recap on the run in TXTM yesterday. We last flagged this play for observation in an extended watchlist a few weeks back, subsequent to which the stock was trading for as little as .0016. Yesterday, on an immense amount of volume, the stock surged as high as .0049, which marks a 206% swing over our observed low.
