Friday’s Runners, Fresh Slate of Targets

Top-Flight Friday Finish:  

Last week was a short trading week that did not exhibit the sleepy characteristics that holiday weeks can sometimes display. We were on point with our options trading ideas all week long, and we capped off that excellent run in Friday morning’s report with four ideas that all made some really good intraday swings. Our biggest goal has always been identifying what we feel are some of the best possible targets on any given day, and as any of our regular readers can attest, we’ve become VERY good at what we do.

Friday’s interests were the DOCU Weekly $52-54 Calls, the RH Weekly $347.50-340 Puts, the SMAR 09/15 $40-45 Calls, and the SWBI 09/15 $10-12.50 Calls, and here are the nice moves they recorded on the session:

Success Times SIX, Fresh Ideas to End the Short Week

Perfect Way to End the Short Week:  

It was a big day for options yesterday, with a huge slate of earnings reporters leading us to formulate a larger-than-usual field of potentials. We offered up SIX fresh trading possibilities in our premarket report, and all six turned in some really nice intraday performances. We went mostly bearish on the day, with just one set of calls to five sets of puts. The results were very pleasing, and it’s a heck of a great way to close out a short trading week!

Our 6-pack of targets for Thursday were the SPY 09/07 $445-443 Puts, the CHPT Weekly $7-6 Puts, the AEO Weekly $17.50-16.50 Puts, the AI Weekly $28.50-27.50 Puts, the GIII 09/15 $20-22.50 Calls and the SAIC 09/15 $115-105 Puts.
