Wrapping Up Another Good Week, 5 Fresh Plays

Thursday’s Trio of Winners:

We got things back on track in terms of options trading ideas yesterday morning. We included a trio of potential plays, and were happy to see a lot of good activity, with winners across the board. It’s a good way to head into the end of the week as we attempt to do it one more time this morning. Another earnings season has come and gone, but as usual we will do our best to generate plenty of ideas based on other factors until we’re back in the thick of things in a few weeks’ time.

Yesterday’s targets were the SMTC Weekly $22-23 Calls, the SPY 09/14 $447-448 Calls, and the BABA Weekly $87-89 Calls, and they produced the following caliber of intraday moves and total potential profits for traders:

Midweek Updates, Trio of New Ideas

Midweek Options Recaps:

We offered up a pair of short term and a pair of longer term ideas in our premarket report yesterday, and as is pretty typical, we saw some good movement out of the weekly plays, and not so much instant gratification from those that expire next month. We usually gravitate to those kind of ideas during earnings low periods, and we certainly have been short on big name reporters this week. But we’ll continue to monitor those interests into October, and keep trying to point out whatever looks best to us on a daily basis.

As for yesterday’s weekly plays, which were the CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls and the BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts, we observed the following intraday trading activity and gain potential:

CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70: 3.00-4.20 (+40%)
$75: 1.09-2.66 (+144%)

Tuesday Recaps, Fresh Ideas

Two for Tuesday:

We fared reasonably well yesterday, having selected a trio of potential plays for our premarket report. While we didn’t manage a clean sweep on that, two out of three isn’t half bad, and our moving targets produced a very solid performance on the session. We also had a solid NASDAQ play pop off of the extended watchlist, so all in all we’re in pretty good shape as we cross this week’s midpoint.

Yesterday’s movers and shakers were the ORCL Weekly $117-115 Puts and the NVDA Weekly $455-450 Puts, and here are the total possible gains they facilitated on Tuesday: .

ORCL Weekly $117-115 Puts
$117: 3.75-9.30 (+148%)

Like yesterday, we also have a brief recap on another NASDAQ stock that we’ve flagged in our extended watchlist that went on to make a great run. We had AVTX in yesterday’s report, and the stock started out changing hands for as little as .102. As of this morning’s new high of .24 that marks a 24-hour swing of 139%

Solid Start to A New Trading Week

Good Start to the Week:

Things got off to quite a nice start for us yesterday, with our premarket report containing five sets of possible options targets. The only one that didn’t work out right off the bat was the set of longer-term October calls in a swing trade idea for PEBO that we’ll continue to keep an eye on.

Friday’s Runners, Fresh Slate of Targets

Top-Flight Friday Finish:

Last week was a short trading week that did not exhibit the sleepy characteristics that holiday weeks can sometimes display. We were on point with our options trading ideas all week long, and we capped off that excellent run in Friday morning’s report with four ideas that all made some really good intraday swings.
