Keeping the Options Train Rolling

Big Name Earners Yield Solid Gains:

It was a big day for options plays on Friday, when we put forth a full slate of potential earnings-related ideas in our premarket report. With the exception of some longer-term targets expiring next month, all four of our short range formulations made some serious moves for us on the day.

Our designated areas of interest for Friday were the AXP Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, the SLB Weekly $34-35 Calls, the SNAP Weekly $13-11.50 Puts, and the VZ Weekly $47-45.50 Puts. It was great way to cap off an immensely exciting trading week, and a continuation of the routinely successful run of plays that we always seem to root out for our morning newsletter which, in our opinion, is the best no-nonsense, totally free source of options daytrading insights and ideas on the planet.

Here were the excellent opportunities Friday’s ventures brought to us:

More Options Success & New Ideas

More Options Gainers:

We only formulated two sets of options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, but we scored pretty well with both of them. Kohls was a post-earnings play, and we had been bearish on the SPY from the get-go this week.

Our exact target ranges were the KSS Weekly $60-62 Calls and the SPY 01/24 $435-432 Puts, and traders could have realized some pretty good profits off of either idea. With the markets continuing their recent downslide until midday, the SPY Puts were the most attractive option on the day.

Here are the total possible gains one could have recorded with those items of interest:

KSS Weekly $60-62 Calls
$60: 
3.46-4.90 (+42%)
$61: 2.81-4.23 (+51%)
$62: 1.00-3.73 (+273%)
_____

SPY 01/24 $435-432 Puts 
$435: 3.96-14.28 (+261%)
$343: 3.23-13.33 (+313%)
$432: 2.50-11.31 (+252%)

LOGI 02/18 $75-80 Calls
BRO 02/18 $65-70 Calls
AXP Weekly $160-165 Calls
