Another Options Clean Sweep:

We made good on all three sets of options ideas we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report. Turning in a flawless sheet for the second straight day in a row. The markets dipped, which was good for our bearish targets, and there was at least an attempted recovery toward the second half of the session that provided some good intraday movement for our one bullish idea.

The targets in question were the KMX Weekly $54-52 Puts, the PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls, and the MU Weekly $50-48.50 Puts. and as will see below, the potential gains ranged in ascending order from nominal all the way up to excellent. Here’s how the day broke down for us:

KMX Weekly $54-52 Puts
$54: .65-.93 (+43%)
$53: .39-.55 (+41%)
$52: .35-.65 (+86%)

Recap of Tuesday’s Movers, Fresh Earnings Plays

Solid Options Runners:

We righted the ship yesterday with a couple of good options ideas in our premarket report, despite the fact that we had no earnings reporters with which to work. We managed to root out a couple of good plays, regardless. Today appears to have some real potential, with several big name earnings drops, along with a market that looks like it may possibly be ready to reverse and go bullish.

Yesterday’s areas of interest for us were the GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts, and the HEI 01/20 $150 Calls, and here were the caliber of moves and total possible profits they produced for us on the day:

GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts
$85: 2.15-3.60 (+67%)
$82.50: .97-2.00 (+106%)
$80: .60-1.10 (+83%)

Icecure Medical Ltd. ICCM – OTC Recap:

We’ve had quite a few nice OTC plays crop up in recent sessions, and yesterday’s standout was ICCM. We tagged this play for observation in our extended watchlist yesterday morning, and it followed up with a good perfromance, running from 2.94 up to 4.73 for an intraday rise of 61%

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.

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%)
