Tuesday’s Activity, 4 New Potential Targets

Tuesday’s Movers:

We finished out 2024 in solid fashion, with two out of the three possible plays we were tracking in our premarket report putting up some pretty good gains. This holiday season has definitely been a challenge, and we didn’t see a Santa Claus rally this year, but we fully expect things to pick back up around here in a big way starting on Tuesday, when we’ll be into some big name earnings reports once again.

As for Tuesday’s half day, here were the figures from the two runners on our options watchlist, the SPY 12/31 $589-590 Calls, and the RL Weekly 01/17 $230-240 Calls:

Recap of Friday’s Session, 3 New Ideas

Friday Recap:

It was a fairly muted session to end last week’s short week. We didn’t have any options reporters to work off of, and just included some quick strike SPY ideas and a couple longer-term watchlist items in our premarket report. While the SPY targets did yield some good intraday opportunities, the results from the other two were lackluster and need more time to mature over the next few weeks.

Our positive movers from Friday were the SPY 12/27 $598-599 Calls, and the UNH 01/17 $510-515 Calls, which recorded the following figures:

SPY 12/27 $598-599 Calls
$598:
.13-.30 (+131%)
$599: .09-.19 (+111%)
_____

UNH 01/17 $510-515 Calls
$510: 15.80-17.15 (+8%)
$515: 13.50-14.35 (+6%)

Tuesday’s Runners, 4 Fresh Ideas

A Solid Half Day:

We performed pretty well for Tuesday’s half day before the holiday recess. We had hashed out a trio of possible options trading targets in our premarket report for the day, all of which were bullish. The markets surged rather nicely right from the opening bell up to the early close, and our interests ended up posting some solid upswings for the session. We’re going to be pretty dry on earnings reporters through the new year, but we’ll continue to manage as always.

Our plays on Tuesday were the AMD Weekly $127-128 Calls, the NVDA Weekly $140 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $435 Calls. These were their best moves for Tuesday:
