Great Start to the Short Week, Fresh Plays

Short Week Begins on a High Note: 

We got things off to a really good start yesterday morning with our first report of this short trading week, carrying over the success we have been enjoying all year long. We rarely seem to miss, and such was the case again with yesterday’s potential targets. We selected a couple of big name earnings reporters with weekly contracts, and one extended term expiration, and saw reasonable intraday opportunities out of all of them.

They were the WMT Weekly $139-142 Calls, the HD Weekly $302.50-305 Calls, and the BHP 03/17 $67.50-70 Calls, and the breakdown of their daily movement and total possible profits for traders, were as follows:

WMT Weekly $139-142 Calls
$139:
 4.40-8.60 (+95%)
$140: 3.35-8.20 (+145%)
$141: 3.50-7.00 (+100%)
$142: 1.99-6.29 (+216%)

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.

Recent Bottom-Bouncers & More

Recent Reversals

We are tracking three unrelated yet similar plays as our first area of interest this morning. These are all stocks that have recently recorded a bottom-bounce reversal, with recoveries underway.

Blink Charging Co. BLNK
Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. KNDI
Sorrento Therapeutics Inc. SRNE

We are going to place these stocks on our watchlist moving forward and begin to track their movements in the days and weeks ahead. Their current runs may only just be getting started.


McCormick & Co. MKC – Options Update

We also offered up an options idea in yesterday’s premarket report, targeting the MKC 10/16 $195 Puts, on the heels of the company’s earnings report.

We got some very nice early activity out of that contract, which traded up from a low of  5.84 and went on to hit 12.85. That represents an intraday gain of 120%
