Monday’s Movers, 3 New Chances

Good Start to a Fresh Week:

We were pretty pleased with the level of performance from the trio of possible options targets that we highlighted in yesterday morning’s report. We’re all set to make a strong run into labor day weekend, and will take whatever the markets give us. Considering the fact that in the last 5 weeks, we have only missed on two daily picks, we like our chances of making a good showing.

Yesterday’s movers were the SPY 08/26 $562-563 Calls, the PDD Weekly $117-115 Puts, and the BHP 09/20 $55-57.50 Calls. Here’s how their biggest runs of the day looked:

Friday’s Big Gainers, 3 Fresh Plays

Close, But No Cigar:

Well, we NEARLY did what we set out to do on Friday, which was to seal our fourth straight week of nothing but successful daily options picks. We offered up four possibilities, and three of them delivered. Unfortunately our targets in the INTU chain were simply too deep in the money to trade volume by the time the opening bell rang. However, 19 days without a bad idea is still an absolutely incredible feat, and we’re very proud of it.

Our premarket report winners for the session were the SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls, the WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls, and the CAVA Weekly $108-110 Calls. The gains they produced more than made up for missing on a single idea:

SPY 08/23 $557-559 Calls
$557: 1.47-5.61 (+282%)
$557.50: 1.20-5.16 (+330%)
$558: .95-4.69 (+394%)
$559: .58-3.56 (+514%)

WDAY Weekly $260-265 Calls
$260: .20-1.16 (+480%)
$265: .20-.45 (+125%)
