LMP Automotive Holdings, Inc. LMPX – Recap

We also wanted to make mention of the solid intraday move by recently IPO’d LMPX, which we included in yesterday’s extended watchlist.

The stock ran from a low of 16.23, and hit 22.95. That worked out to an upswing of 41% and registered as the NASDAQ’s second biggest gainer of the day.

More Winning Options Plays

More Options Recaps

If it seems like we spend a lot of time going over options plays we’ve highlighted, it’s because our ideas are constantly turning in incredible performances.

Yesterday, after going over some prior wins, we offered up ideas for PLCE and CHWY, and sure enough, those were solid movers too. The following opportunities were there for the taking in those plays:

PLCE Weekly $61-59 Puts 
$17 Puts – Range: 4.35-7.10 – Max Gain: 63%
$16 Puts – Range: 2.35-6.70 – Max Gain: 185%
$15 Puts – Range: 2.30-5.20 – Max Gain: 126%

CHWY Weekly $25.50-26 Calls
$25.50 Calls – Range: 1.05-2.13 – Max Gain: 103%
$26 Calls – Range: .80-1.64 – Max Gain: 105%

Fresh Options Idea: 

We’re going to place the Lumber Liquidator Holdings, Inc. LL Weekly $9.50-10 Calls on watch, with the express understanding that if the stock manages to breach its 200DMA of 10.20, that we will want to roll up to include the $10.50’s as well.

Extended Watchlist:
LMPX, AMRX, RTTR, JAGX, CIEN

Midweek Options Review & More

Midweek Options Review 

We offered up a buffet of options choices yesterday, and two of our ideas panned out immediately, with our longer-term idea still needing some time to mature.

The ones that worked out without delay were the designated ideas from the DBI and CONN chains. They were the DBI 12/20 $17.50-15 Puts and the CONN 12/20 $17-15 Puts.  Both of those were bearish signals on puts, and both yielded solid intraday results, good for opportunities to score the following daily gains:

Designer Brands, Inc. DBI 12/20 $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50 Puts – Range: 2.60-3.71 – Max Gain: 43%
$15 Puts – Range: .60-1.36 – Max Gain: 127%

Conn’s Inc. CONN 12/20 $17-15 Puts
$17 Puts – Range: 2.00-3.30 – Max Gain: 43%
$16 Puts – Range: 1.45-1.92 – Max Gain: 32%
$15 Puts – Range: .70-1.60 – Max Gain: 129%
