Muted Start to the Week, Fresh Ideas

Monday’s Options Recap:

The markets got off to a rough start yesterday, and that did negatively impact the scope of our options success with the plays we were monitoring, especially considering they were targets January expirations. We may yet see those rise to the occasion, but for now, our one quick-strike idea from yesterday’s premarket report did make a significant intraday move.

The SPY typically provides a lot of good intraday volatility for us, and is quite often good for solid intraday gains when timed properly. Our actual targets for yesterday were the SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls, and these were the largest intraday swings we witnessed:

SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
$383: .65-1.45 (+123%)
$384: .38-.90 (+137%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts
PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
HEI 01/20 $150 Calls

OTC Recaps:

We had another couple of plays that performed well off of yesterday’s extended watchlist. Especially on slow days for options, monitoring these daily selections of mainly OTC stocks has often proved to be a good alternative use of our time.

Range: .01-.035 (+250%)

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI

SMAR Options Review, Fresh Ideas

Smartsheet, Inc. SMAR – Options Review:

First off, we’d just like to apologize for the lack of a premarket report on Friday. An untimely power outage prevented us from getting anything out to readers in time for the market open. In the past dozen years, we have missed maybe five trading days, if that, so it’s not something one should expect to see repeated anytime soon.

In the meantime, we did see some new highs in the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls prior to their expiration at week’s end, which we wanted to report back on today before kicking off a fresh trading week. We have been tracking these calls since December 2nd, and here are the figures and total possible profits we witnessed over that span of roughly two weeks:

SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls
$35: 1.55-7.50 (+384%)
$40: .34-2.65 (+679%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
SHOP 01/06 $36.50-37.50 Calls
AAPL 01/06 $139-141 Calls

OTC Recaps:

We’ve also got a couple of quick updates on the recent performance of a couple of the OTC plays we’ve tagged in our extended watchlists. When we left off on Thursday, we had been tracking both of these stocks for a week.

Global Developments, Inc. GDVM
Alerted: December 8th
Range: .0366-.0611 (+67%)

Performance Drink Group, Inc. PDPG

OTC and Options Reviews, New Targets

Wednesday’s Solid Plays:

Our watchscreens were light yesterday morning, which is not atypical as we continue through the holiday season and rapidly approach the new year. This time of year is often rather subdued, but we managed to cite a couple of potential options plays for the day in yesterday’s premarket report, both of which went on to post notable intraday gain opportunities.

Our pair of targets for the day were the STNG Weekly $55 Calls, and the PLUG Weekly $14-15 Calls, which recorded the following ranges, and produced the following intraday profit chances:

STNG Weekly $55 Calls
$55: 1.15-2.10 (+62%)
_____

PLUG Weekly $14-15 Calls
$14: .88-1.65 (+73%)
$14.50: .64-1.20 (+100%)
$15: .30-.87 (+90%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/15 $394-395 Calls
SPY 12/16 $396-397 Calls
LEN Weekly $88-86 Puts

American Diversified Holdings Corp. ADHC – OTC Recap:

We have an OTC this morning as well concerning ADHC, a stock we’ve been tracking for just over a month, having first mentioned it on November 12th. During that span we have witnessed a solid increase as it ran from a low of .003 up to yesterday’s new high of .0069. These kinds of plays always serve as a good reminder to comb through our daily extended watchlists and use them as a jumping off point to form watchlists of your own.

Tuesday’s Recaps, Today’s Fresh Ideas

Recap For Tuesday Plays:

While the markets certainly pulled a head fake yesterday, stair-stepping down for the majority of the session after an early morning gap-up, we still managed to see some marginal gain opportunities in the daily options ideas we put in yesterday’s premarket report. While the gain chances in the SPY and others were slightly muted compared to what we usually achieve, our FLNC Calls clearly stole the show with an excellent multibag performance.

Our specific areas of interest for Tuesday were the SPY 12/13 $407-410 Calls, the ORCL Weekly $82.50-85 Calls, the CNM Weekly $22.50 Calls, and the FLNC Weekly $17.50 Calls. The rundown of the moves they and the total possible profits associated with those, were as follows:
