More Options Runners, Earnings Plays

KMX, SPY Options Recaps: 

We had even more continued success with our options ideas as we reached the halfway point of this 4-day trading week yesterday, including the third successful flip on our attitudes toward the SPY, which has been very kind to us this week. The day ended with some nice results from the two sets of plays we designated for observation.

We were looking at the KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts, which put up some really nice figures, and the SPY 04/12 $441-444 Calls, which ran out of the gate and posted some more modest yet still very respectable gains early in the session.

The trading ranges and total potential profits that could have been banked off of those ideas were as follows: 

KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts
$105: 4.50-11.76 (+161%)
$100: 1.65-6.80 (+312%)
$97.50: .87-4.48 (+416%)

Wrapping Up a Solid Trading Week

Options Recap: 

It was a treacherous day for the markets yesterday, with the vast majority of big board stocks pulling back, but we still managed to go two for three on options ideas despite signaling calls across the board.

The two ideas that recorded notable intraday moves before falling off into the close, were the NOW Weekly $530-540 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $930-945 Calls. Oftentimes post-earnings plays will still provide such opportunities even if they can’t sustain the momentum, which is exactly why we base most of our targets around quarterly reporters on a given day.

Here are the early moves registered by the above mentioned targets: 

NOW Weekly $530-540 Calls
$530:
 4.60-10.59 (+130%)
$535: 3.11-8.70 (+180%)
$540: 2.00-5.60 (+180%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $930-945 Calls
$930: 7.43-11.12 (+50%)
$935: 3.41-5.77 (+69%)
$940: 3.05-5.06 (+66%)
$945: 2.77-4.48 (+62%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 
SPY 01/28 $430 Puts
AAPL Weekly $165 Puts
CAT Weekly $210-207.50 Puts
V Weekly $212.50-217.50 Calls

Biggest Options Gainers & More

Options Recaps:

We’ve gotten off to another great start with regard to options trading this week. Yesterday morning in our premarket report, we formulated a couple of ideas, in the THO and UNFI chains on the heels of those companies’ earnings reports.

Despite an extremely poor session for the markets in general yesterday, both of our our ideas, the THO 10/15 $115-120 Calls and the UNFI 10/15 $35-40 Calls, bucked the trend and exhibited multibag gains on the day for us. A strong performance all around no matter which contract set within our targeted ranges was selected.

Here are those excellent multibag intraday moves posted by our plays:

THO 10/15 $115-120 Calls
$115: 4.40-12.70 (+187%)
$120: 2.10-8.70 (+314%)
_____

UNFI 10/15 $35-40 Calls
$35: 5.00-12.32 (+146%)
$40: .1.60-7.57 (+373%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
MU Weekly $72-71 Puts
WOR 10/15 $60-65 Calls


Farmmi, Inc. FAMI 

We also would like to designate FAMI as a longer-term bottom bouncer that has the potential to become a solid recovery play.

We are going to radar FAMI for the effort the company is making to get its stock back to the dollar minimum PPS required for continued listing on the NASDAQ. A shareholder letter from the CEO this morning outlined some of the ways that’s happening, including planned acquisitions and more. (>>Read PR)
