Winning Options Plays, 4 Fresh Ideas

Options Reviews:

Despite only having a single earnings reporter yesterday morning off of which we could base an options idea, we managed to turn up some pretty good opportunities including a couple multi-bag gain chances.

That lone fresh play was for the PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls, and they did post some nice intraday moves. In addition, we have a couple of updates on some longer term calls that we signaled in reports from last week. For the CAT 11/04 $180-185 Calls, we alerted these calls on last Wednesday the 5th, while the UNFI 11/18 $35 Calls were an idea we formulated on September 30th. Both have performed rather nicely, and give a good example of why we like to include a mix of quick-strike plays with longer-term ideas.

PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls 
$162.50: 4.55-8.10 (+78%)
$165: 2.77-6.02 (+117%)

Hitting on Every Options Play, Fresh Ideas

Another Flawless Options Performance:

The solid run of good fortune we’ve had with earnings this week continued yesterday with notable performances coming from each of the three potential options plays that we highlighted in in our premarket report. Even as the markets have endured some ugly activity, we’ve still been able to generate useful ideas for ourselves and our readers.

The targets that we were tracking were the BBBY Weekly $6.50-7.00 Calls, the KMX 10/21 $75-70 Puts, and the RAD Weekly $7.00-6.50 Puts. In each and every contract set we achieved double bag status or better, so all in all, we would consider that a very fruitful session. Here are the types of gain chances we were working with on the day:

BBBY Weekly $6.50-7.00 Calls
$6.00:
 .07-.14 (+100%)
$7.00: .05-.11 (+120%)

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)
