New Year, New Opportunities!

Options Reviews:

We hope everyone had a Happy New Year and a pleasant long weekend, and are all set to hit the ground running. We’re ready to give everything we’ve got to make 2023 every bit as exciting as 2022, and more! We’re going to kick things off this morning by going over the performances on a couple sets of longer-term options ideas we formulated a couple of weeks ago.

From our reports on December 20th and 22nd, respectively, we’ve been tracking the PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls and the PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls. The Paychex calls in particular have posted some serious multibag gains over that time span. With still more than two weeks remaining until their expiration, both sets of ideas have made pretty good headway indeed, posting the following moves and total possible profits so far:

PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
$35: 1.03-1.85 (+80%)
$36: .72-1.27 (+76%)
_____

PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls
$115: .92-4.03 (+338%)
$120: .33-1.65 (+400%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 01/03 $383-384 Calls
TSLA Weekly $120-118 Puts

Silo Pharma, Inc. SILO – NASDAQ Recap:

We included SILO on our watchlist in Friday morning’s premarket report, and were pleased with the single session move it made from 4.64-6.56. That works out to an intraday rise of 41% which is a pretty respectable rip for a $4+ NASDAQ stock. Our extended watchlists typically contain a mix of both big board and OTC stocks.

We finally got the lead out yesterday, with some options trading ideas that were reliant upon the markets posting a solid session.

Blue Apron Holdings Inc. APRN:

As tax loss season is winding down, we want to put APRN on our readers’ radars as a potential bottom bouncer to swing trade into the new year. The stock has just started to rebound off of its 52-week lows and established a higher high yesterday. We’ll be watching this potential value play over the days and weeks ahead.

Recap of Tuesday’s Movers, Fresh Earnings Plays

Solid Options Runners:

We righted the ship yesterday with a couple of good options ideas in our premarket report, despite the fact that we had no earnings reporters with which to work. We managed to root out a couple of good plays, regardless. Today appears to have some real potential, with several big name earnings drops, along with a market that looks like it may possibly be ready to reverse and go bullish.

Yesterday’s areas of interest for us were the GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts, and the HEI 01/20 $150 Calls, and here were the caliber of moves and total possible profits they produced for us on the day:

GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts
$85: 2.15-3.60 (+67%)
$82.50: .97-2.00 (+106%)
$80: .60-1.10 (+83%)
_____

HEI 01/20 $150 Calls
$150: 3.70-6.29 (+70%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/21 $381-383 Calls
NKE Weekly $113-115 Calls
FDX Weekly $170-175 Calls

Icecure Medical Ltd. ICCM – OTC Recap:

We’ve had quite a few nice OTC plays crop up in recent sessions, and yesterday’s standout was ICCM. We tagged this play for observation in our extended watchlist yesterday morning, and it followed up with a good perfromance, running from 2.94 up to 4.73 for an intraday rise of 61%

Muted Start to the Week, Fresh Ideas

Monday’s Options Recap:

The markets got off to a rough start yesterday, and that did negatively impact the scope of our options success with the plays we were monitoring, especially considering they were targets January expirations. We may yet see those rise to the occasion, but for now, our one quick-strike idea from yesterday’s premarket report did make a significant intraday move.

The SPY typically provides a lot of good intraday volatility for us, and is quite often good for solid intraday gains when timed properly. Our actual targets for yesterday were the SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls, and these were the largest intraday swings we witnessed:

SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
$383: .65-1.45 (+123%)
$384: .38-.90 (+137%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts
PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
HEI 01/20 $150 Calls

OTC Recaps:

We had another couple of plays that performed well off of yesterday’s extended watchlist. Especially on slow days for options, monitoring these daily selections of mainly OTC stocks has often proved to be a good alternative use of our time.

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .01-.035 (+250%)

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .0031-.0046 (+48%)

OTC and Options Reviews, New Targets

Wednesday’s Solid Plays:

Our watchscreens were light yesterday morning, which is not atypical as we continue through the holiday season and rapidly approach the new year. This time of year is often rather subdued, but we managed to cite a couple of potential options plays for the day in yesterday’s premarket report, both of which went on to post notable intraday gain opportunities.

Our pair of targets for the day were the STNG Weekly $55 Calls, and the PLUG Weekly $14-15 Calls, which recorded the following ranges, and produced the following intraday profit chances:

STNG Weekly $55 Calls
$55: 1.15-2.10 (+62%)
_____

PLUG Weekly $14-15 Calls
$14: .88-1.65 (+73%)
$14.50: .64-1.20 (+100%)
$15: .30-.87 (+90%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/15 $394-395 Calls
SPY 12/16 $396-397 Calls
LEN Weekly $88-86 Puts

American Diversified Holdings Corp. ADHC – OTC Recap:

We have an OTC this morning as well concerning ADHC, a stock we’ve been tracking for just over a month, having first mentioned it on November 12th. During that span we have witnessed a solid increase as it ran from a low of .003 up to yesterday’s new high of .0069. These kinds of plays always serve as a good reminder to comb through our daily extended watchlists and use them as a jumping off point to form watchlists of your own.
