A Terrific Tuesday, 4 Fresh Plays for Wednesday

Another Perfect Outing on Tuesday:

While we can definitely say that flawless days when we hit on all of our ideas are frequent occurrences for us, we certainly don’t take it for granted, and it still makes us feel really good every time. Yesterday’s outing was just such an event, with all five of the fresh options possibilities we laid out in our premarket report making good intraday moves. It was the second straight day we achieved that feat, with all five of Monday’s plays having recording good gains as well. So we’re off to a perfect start this week, and we couldn’t be happier.

Yesterday’s runners were the ANET Weekly $187.50-192.50 Calls, the PINS Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls, the CAT Weekly $235-230 Puts, the BUD Weekly $55-56 Calls and the BP Weekly $37.50-36.50 Puts.

Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas – Form-4 Plays:

We do typically like to stick with options plays that coincide with big name earnings reporters, but we always like to scan for Form-4’s (insider transactions) and formulate ideas in those instances where we like the chart setup.

We’ve got a couple of potential targets which fit that bill with huge amounts of shares being soaked up in ASAN last week, and a large $10M block being purchased in PFSI yesterday. These transactions give us at least a reasonable confidence that those involved believe that the future looks brighter than the present.

ASAN 01/21 $110-120 Calls
PFSI 12/17 $65 Calls 


Options Ideas – Earnings Plays: 

Of course we don’t want to leave out our bread and butter, so we’ve also taken a look at what the earnings calendar has to offer this morning.

Build-A-Bear and Ambarella are a couple in that category that our catching our eye today, so we’ll hash up some ideas for those as well:

BBW 12/17 $17.50 Calls
AMBA Weekly $197.50-207.50 Calls
