Solid Start to the Week, Loads of Fresh Ideas

Monday’s Movers:

As we cautioned in yesterday’s report, we were without a slate of earnings reporters to base our ideas off of yesterday, so we simply went with a couple of old familiar targets, and we ended up faring pretty well with those plays. Thankfully, we aren’t in the same boat today, with plenty of earnings hitting the wire between yesterday’s close and today’s open.

In the meantime, here are the figures from our ideas yesterday, which were the TSLA Weekly $240-245 Calls, and the SPY 08/28 $440-442 Calls. They posted the following profit potential for yesterday’s session, and as you can see, those SPY Calls were the real stars of the day:

TSLA Weekly $240-245 Calls
$240: 3.20-4.85 (+52%)
$242.50: 2.45-3.72 (+52%)
$245: 1.83-2.83 (+55%)

SPY 08/28 $440-442 Calls
$440: 1.15-3.28(+185%)
$441: .54-2.36 (+337%)
$442: .16-1.39 (+769%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
PDD Weekly $89-91 Calls
BBY Weekly $75-77 Calls
SJM 09/15 $145-150 Calls
CTLT 09/15 $47.50-50 Calls
HEI 09/15 $160-155 Puts

Kicking Off Another Trading Week, New Plays

Recapping Friday’s Performance :

We posted good numbers all week last week, and that trend was unchanged for the options trading ideas we offered up in Friday morning’s premarket report. We had ventured possible strike areas in three separate chains, and came back with some favorable results on the day. Even on days where the earnings calendar doesn’t provide us with many opportunities, we always seem to manage.

That trio of plays from Friday consisted of the ULTA Weekly $425-427.50 Calls, the AFRM Weekly $14-15 Calls, and the HIBB 09/15 $40 Calls. Here were the intraday runs we witnessed in each of the contract sets therein:

ULTA Weekly $425-427.50 Calls
$425: 1.37-3.39 (+147%)
$427.50: .90-2.10 (+133%)
_____

AFRM Weekly $14-15 Calls
$14: 1.08-4.25 (+293%)
$14.50: .77-3.62 (+370%)
$15: .47-3.21 (+583%)
_____

HIBB 09/15 $40 Calls
$40: 5.00-6.50 (+30%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

The landscape for interesting high profile earnings reporters is essentially barren today, but we’re going to be tracking the following plays in TSLA and the SPY, a couple of chains that we’ve relied upon for big gains many times before.

SPY 08/28 $440-442 Calls*

Winning Wednesday, New Big Name Earnings Plays

A Winning Wednesday:

We continued to make our job look easy on Wednesday, once again offering up a chunky slate of potential options ideas in our morning report. He formulated possible targets in five options chains, and met with some very nice results for the day. Of course, a nice selection of daily earnings reporters always helps with that. In case some of our readers hadn’t picked up on that yet, we love using the volatility that results when these megacap companies drop their reports. We’ve got another nice calendar for this morning as well.

As for yesterday’s five targets, all of which posted good intraday moves, we had the TOL Weekly $76 Calls, the URBN Weekly $35-36 Calls, the ADI Weekly $167.50-165 Puts, the WSM Weekly $125-126 Calls, and the LANC Weekly $180-175 Puts.

Tuesday’s Movers, Today’s Fresh Plays

Recapping Yesterday’s Runners:

We ventured potential options trading ideas for five chains in our premarket report yesterday morning, and at this point it should come as little surprise that we managed to root out intraday runners in all but of those plays, and we had to toss the fifth only for a technical error in our newsletter.
