Yesterday’s batch of runners included the MNST 03/17 $100-95 Puts, the RIVN Weekly $18-17.50 Puts , and the DLTR Weekly $142-140 Puts, and the increases they posted on the day were considerable. Here’s how their intraday moves and total possible gains looked for the session:

4 Fresh Earnings-Related Options Plays

Solid Options Review: 

Things have gone rather well for us so far this week, with respect to our daily options targets. We had another good session on Tuesday, wherein each of the weekly sets of contracts we signaled interest in tracking, produced intraday upswings of a significant magnitude. We had one longer-term play on ALC which did not experience a big move, but we will likely be coming back to it sometime in the weeks ahead prior to its expiration.

The selections we made with weekly expirations, however, did post some good single-session rips. They were the TSLA Weekly $207.50-210 Calls, the ZM Weekly $76-78 Calls, and the WDAY Weekly $187.50-182.50 Puts, and here’s the breakdown of the kind of profits that were on the table for traders on Tuesday:

TSLA Weekly $207.50-210 Calls
$207.50: 5.80-8.15 (+41%)
$210: 4.80-6.90 (+44%)
_____

ZM Weekly $76-78 Calls
$76: .92-2.16 (+135%)
$77: .70-1.68 (+140%)
$78: .50-1.27 (+154%)
_____

WDAY Weekly $187.50-182.50 Puts
$187.50: 2.37-4.15 (+75%)
$185: 1.33-2.64 (+98%)
$182.50: .75-1.52 (+103%)
