Cautious Yet Bold Options Strategy Keeps Bearing Fruit

Yesterday’s Options Success: 

It seems like the winds of fortune have been gusting in our favor for quite some time now, with the options targets we outlined in yesterday’s morning report all producing gain opportunities on some level. That makes for the fourth straight session in which every single one of our interests has given traders a shot as compounding their funds.

Our daily focus was trained on the AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts, the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls, and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which all put forth some measure of intraday run in what amounted to a bit of a choppy day for the markets as a whole. Things in that regard have become rather harder to predict, but we’ve been trying very hard to select potential plays with a good risk/reward balance. Here’s where our efforts led yesterday:

AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts
$75: 
2.49-4.49 (+80%)
$70: 1.29-2.20 (+71%)
_____

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70:

Ending the Trading Week on a High Note

Bearish Plays Yield Gains:

We have been shrewdly hitting on big options plays this week, and we carried that trend through yesterday’s session. Things looked grim for stocks in the premarket, so we signaled a couple of bearish ideas to take advantage of the day’s sentiment. It worked like a charm, with both of our designated sets of puts providing ample opportunity for intraday gains.

We were targeting the PATH 04/14 $25-22.50 Puts, and the WBA Weekly $47.50-46.50 Puts, and got some very nice movement from those plays, with ranges and percentage gains as follows:

PATH 04/14 $25-22.50 Puts
$25:
 2.20-4.71 (+114%)
$22.50: .95-2.65 (+179%)
_____

WBA Weekly $47.50-46.50 Puts

$47.50: 2.27-3.27 (+44%)
$47: 1.52-2.77 (+82%)
$46.50: 1.30-2.20 (+69%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 04/01 $452-453 Calls*
BABA Weekly $112-116 Calls*
YETI 05/20 $70-75 Calls
AEHR 04/14 $10-12.50 Calls 

*Please do not attempt to trade options contracts on their day of expiration unless you are an experienced trader with access to disposable funds.

Explosive Gains in the YETI Chain & More

More SPY Updates:

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we mentioned that we felt the markets were due for a reversal off of the bearish trend they had established up to that point. After tracking some very nice gains in SPY Puts over that span, we flip-flopped and targeted some SPY Calls fresh for yesterday’s report.

Those were the SPY 05/14 $406-407.50 Calls and they produced considerable intraday movement that could have been seized upon by anyone who caught our alert. Here are the double-bag moves and total possible gains that were on the table there:

 SPY 05/14 $406-407.50 Calls.
$406: 3.32-6.70 (+102%)
$407: 2.76-5.82 (+111%)
$407.50: 2.46-5.40 (+120%)

We also want to roll up to the SPY 05/14 $411-412.50 Calls* for today’s session.
