Tuesday Review, 3 Fresh Options Ideas

Reviewing Tuesday’s Ideas:

Things went pretty well in terms of the possible options trading targets in our premarket report yesterday morning. There were a pair of quick-strike ideas based on earnings reporters, and a couple of longer-term swing trades with expirations next month, one of which posted some decent intraday moves right out of the gate. Both of the shorter term plays produced solid results as well.

Those targets were the PVH 04/19 $110-105 Puts, the PAYX 04/19 $120-115 Puts, and the SNOW 05/10 $175-180 Calls. Here were the trading ranges and total possible percentage gains in each of them for the day:

PVH 04/19 $110-105 Puts
$110: 2.30-6.37 (+177%)
$105: .35-4.10 (+1071%)
_____

PAYX 04/19 $120-115 Puts
$120: 1.16-2.21 (+90%)
$115: .29-.60 (+107%)
_____

SNOW 05/10 $175-180 Calls
$175: 2.00-2.80 (+40%)
$180: 1.84-2.12 (+15%)

Options Recaps, 4 Fresh Potential Plays

More Options Review:

We want to open up this morning by apologizing for any confusion pertaining to the SPY Calls in yesterday’s premarket report. We mistakenly listed our targets as the $424-425 instead of the $524-525 Calls, and didn’t catch our error until it was too late. We don’t often make mistakes, but we’re quit to point it out when we do. As a result we have just a couple of yesterday’s targets to report back on, but we’ve also got some updates on previous longer-term plays that have tacked on some new highs this week.

Yesterday’s movers were the BOIL Weekly $13.50-14.50 Calls, and the SGML 04/19 $13-14 Calls. The CAR 04/05 $118-120 Calls, and the DELL 04/05 $114-116 Calls, we alerted on last Monday, and we’ll include the updated figures for those excellent week-over-week runners as well:

BOIL Weekly $13.50-14.50 Calls
$13.50: .81-1.22 (+51%)
$14: .55-.90 (+64%)
$14.50: .37-.65 (+76%)
_____

SGML 04/19 $13-14 Calls
$13: 1.25-1.80 (+44%)
$14: .80-1.30 (+62%)
_____

CAR 04/05 $118-120 Calls
$118: 3.20-8.32 (+191%)
$119: 3.10-5.10 (+64%)
$120: 2.69-5.60 (+108%)
_____

DELL 04/05 $114-116 Calls
$114: 2.15-6.00 (+179%)
$115: .60-5.00 (+733%)
$116: 1.80-4.00 (+122%)

Fresh Options Ideas:

We’ve got some potential earnings plays in PVH and PAYX this morning, as well as a couple of longer term recovery play possibilities with SNOW, whose CEO recently snapped up $5M at the bottom, and IRON, which tanked dramatically on some unfavorable news.

PVH 04/19 $110-105 Puts
PAYX 04/19 $120-115 Puts
SNOW 05/10 $175-180 Calls
IRON 05/17 $40-45 Calls

Reviewing Thursday’s Movers, 4 New Possibilities

Thursday’s Options Recap:

Things ended on a positive note for us on Thursday, just before we broke for the holiday weekend. In our premarket report for the day, we were looking at three potential options trading targets, and everything we came up with produced double-bag intraday runs or better. It’s always nice to end a trading week with a whole slate full of good ideas, and that was certainly the case.

We were considering the SPY 03/28 $522-523 Calls, the MLKN 04/19 $25 Puts, and the RH Weekly $325-330 Calls, and here are the figures those contracts produced on the session:

SPY 03/28 $522-523 Calls

RH Weekly $325-330 Calls

A Top Shelf Tuesday, 5 New Targets

Tuesday Runners Review:

Yesterday worked out very well in our favor in terms of the options ideas we formulated for our premarket report. We didn’t have a heck of a lot to work with in terms of earnings reporters, but the plays we did find produced excellent intraday performances. In the case of DNUT, the stock posted the largest single session gain and highest volume since its inception. This was on news that Krispy Kreme donuts will now be available at McDonald’s, and it sent DNUT and the targets we had put forth on one heck of a ride!

Yesterday’s interests were the TSLA Weekly $177.50-180 Calls, the MKC 04/19 $75 Calls, and of course the DNUT 04/19 $15 Calls. Here are the big time gains they posted on Tuesday:

TSLA Weekly $177.50-180 Calls
$177.50: 2.96-7.66 (+159%)
$180: 1.61-5.76 (+258%)
_____

MKC 04/19 $75 Calls
$75: 1.20-3.30 (+175%)
_____

DNUT 04/19 $15 Calls
$15: .40-3.20 (+700%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
DNUT 04/19 $17.50 Calls
MRK Weekly $131-132 Calls*
GME Weekly $13-12 Puts*
CTAS 04/19 $660-680 Calls
NCNO 04/19 $35-40 Calls

*Due to Friday’s holiday, ‘weekly’ contracts will expire at market close on Thursday
