Big 1100% Gainer, Fresh Ideas

Wednesday’s Movers:

After sweeping the board with mostly bearish plays from Tuesday, in yesterday’s premarket report we flipped back to the other side of the fence with a mostly bullish slate of possible options trading ideas. What resulted was another clean sweep of solid gainers on the day, including an 11-bagger as the star of the show. We hope to continue to maintain this level of exciting activity with the help of a huge dump of major earnings hitting the wires this morning. It should allow us to close out this excellent trading week on a high note today and tomorrow.

Yesterday’s picks were the DOCS Weekly $32.50-30 Puts, the TGT Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, the DT Weekly $49-51 Calls, and the WIX Weekly $85-90 Calls, and as you can see from the intraday breakdowns below, the gain chances were pretty serious.

Tuesday’s Clean Sweep, 4 New Targets

Tuesday’s Options Runners:

We went bearish on all three of the earnings-based options ideas we presented in yesterday morning’s premarket report. A challenging day for the markets at large only boosted their performances, which led to some really nice intraday gain opportunities for traders. We’re seeing a pickup in the volume of earnings reporters as compared to last week, which is always good in terms of having fresh material for quick-strike options ideas.

Our targets yesterday were the SE Weekly $84-82 Puts, the HD Weekly $285-280 Puts, and the BIDU Weekly $127-125 Puts. Here is the breakdown of the figures they put up for us on the session:

SE Weekly $84-82 Puts
$84: 5.05-13.10 (+159%)
$83: 4.80-11.94 (+149%)
$82: 3.34-10.95 (+228%)

HD Weekly $285-280 Puts
$285: 2.96-6.05 (+104%)
$282.50: 2.02-4.50 (+123%)
$280: 1.35-3.20 (+137%)

BIDU Weekly $127-125 Puts
$127: 1.23-2.63 (+114%)

Retail Recaps, Fresh Options Ideas

Holiday Week Wrap-Up:

After a restful weekend following the Thanksgiving holiday, we’re ready to hop back into the saddle, and ride out in search of opportunity once again. We’ve been a little short on earnings reporters lately, which is not atypical for the holiday season and may very well persist into the new year. We’ll continue to make do however we can, like we did on Friday with a pair of retail plays in WMT and TGT. We expect to be seeing a lot of the retail space over the next several weeks.

As for Friday’s targets for the half day, we were focused in on the WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls and the TGT Weekly $162.50-165 Calls. Each pair of contracts recorded one relatively nominal gain and one big, impressive multibag run for us.

WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls
$150:
2.00-2.73 (+37%)
$152.50: .05-.50 (+900%)

TGT Weekly $162.50-165 Calls
$162.50: .27-1.43 (+430%)
$165: .04-.09 (+125%)
