A Winning Wednesday, 3 New Opportunities

Wednesday’s Recap:

Wednesday turned out to be another really good day for our options ideas. Four out of the five potential targets from our premarket report for the day were based off of untraded-upon earnings reports, and all four of those yielded some good intraday opportunities. The fifth was a swing-trade idea based of of some insider buying records, and we may yet come back for that one at a later date.

For today, we have the numbers yesterday’s earnings plays recorded for the session. Those were the TSLA Weekly $157.50-162.50 Calls, the BA Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls, the BSX 05/17 $72.50-75 Calls, and the TXN Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and their performances were as follows:

Recap of Friday, 3 New Ideas

Friday Review:

While Friday didn’t exactly end things on a bang, the hit the markets took certainly went quite a way toward progressing the bearish options ideas we were tracking into the end of the week. We had a couple of sets of puts targeted in our premarket report, and some more bearish targets in TSLA that we’d been tracking throughout the week. Each of those put up significant intraday runs, and in the case of the TSLA puts, tacked on further highs.

Our shorts from Friday were the NFLX Weekly $580-570 Puts, and the PG Weekly $157.50-155 Puts. As for the TSLA Weekly $152.50-150 Puts, we had been tracking those since Wednesday’s premarket report. All of those numbers a re below. Additionally, a set of TSLA $170 Puts we signaled on Monday also added to their intraweek totals, and we think we’ll continue to see TSLA feel the pain, so we’re going to roll down and select some new targets for that chain today as well.

NFLX Weekly $580-570 Puts
$580
: .89-5.25 (+490%)
$575: 1.53-7.85 (+413%)
$570: 2.35-11.00 (+368%)
