Friday’s Major Runners, 4 Fresh Targets

Friday’s Big Movers:

We were pleased to be able to wrap up the trading week on Friday with a strong slate of options movers. There were no duds among the four potential plays we included with our premarket report, and only one set of individual contracts out of the whole lot of ten fell short of multi-bag status. All in all it was a great session.

Our targets for Friday were the NKE Weekly $97-95 Puts, the FDX Weekly $292.50-297.50 Calls, the LULU Weekly $420-415 Puts, and the TSLA Weekly $170-167.50 Puts. The excellent numbers they recorded on the day were as follows:

COIN Puts Blast Off & More

Options Review: 

It was a mixed bag sort of a day for the markets yesterday, as everything traveled up in the morning and came down in the afternoon. We had options ideas on both side of the tracks which managed to produce some very nice intraday gain opportunities for us. Typically we try to select targets that we feel have a solid chance of providing the kind of volatility needed to facilitate big moves in a short time frame, and that’s why we usually stick to companies that have untraded-upon earnings.

Our earnings plays that rattled off big moves yesterday were the EA Weekly $111-113 Calls and the COIN Weekly $65-55 Puts. In the case of the COIN targets. based on this morning’s premarket activity we would expect to see even more of an increase today over the figures you’ll see below from yesterday’s session:

EA Weekly $111-113 Calls
$111:
 4.60-13.65 (+197%)
$112: 3.80-13.75 (+262%)
$113: 5.70-12.25 (+115%)

COIN Weekly $65-55 Puts 
$65: 6.00-15.20 (+153%)
$60: 3.30-10.80 (+227%)
$55: 1.85-7.10 (+284%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts
DIS Weekly $101-98 Puts
NICE 05/20 $185-190 Calls
HCP 07/15 $30-40 Calls

Wrapping Up a Solid Short Trading Week

Options Updates:

We have been tracking a number of options ideas with a June 18th expiration over the past week. Yesterday morning, we signaled interest in the ESTC 06/18 $125-135 Calls, and those went on to put up a nice performance on the day.

It was in Monday morning’s premarket report that we added CAN 06/18 $7.50-10.00 Calls, and we added some gains to our observed totals yesterday as the stock set a new high on the day.

ESTC 06/18 $125-135 Calls
$125: 4.95-7.60 (+54%)
$130: 2.90-4.60 (+59%)
