Options Recaps, 5-Pack of Fresh Ideas

Recapping Friday’s Movers:

Things played out very much like we suspected they would on Friday, as we capped off an exceptional trading week with some solid options ideas. We came up with a pair of quick-strike plays, as well as a couple of longer-term targets with September expirations. Both of the weekly ideas we floated ended up posting some pretty good intraday upswings.

Those ideas were the NVDA Weekly $420 Puts and the IONQ Weekly $14.50-15 Calls, and each of them produced the following multibag gain possibilities on the day:

NVDA Weekly $420 Puts
$420: 3.45-13.43 (+289%)
_____

IONQ Weekly $14.50-15 Calls
$14.50: .93-3.10 (+233%)
$15: .50-2.65 (+430%)
_____

We also saw new highs in the APP 08/18 $35-37.50 Calls which we flagged for observation on Thursday and reported on Friday. That considerably increased the percentage gains we had seen the previous session. The following figures represent the overall two-day swing:

APP 08/18 $35-37.50 Calls
$35: .70-4.50 (+543%)
$37.50: .24-2.35 (+879%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
NVDA Weekly $410-405 Puts
TSLA Weekly $237.50-235 Puts
MNDY Weekly $160-165 Calls
X Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls
ERJ Weekly $15 Calls

A Winning Wednesday, 5 New Ideas

Winning Wednesday:

We kept things moving along swimmingly on Wednesday with regard to the options ideas in our premarket report for the day. We put in a pretty good mix of short-term and longer-term ideas, as well as bears and bulls. Three out of our four interests produced instant results, and the fourth (IHF) we’ll put on the back burner, as we feel it will still produce the activity we’re looking for in the days and weeks ahead.

Our hot hands for the day were our other targets, which were the FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts, the WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts, and the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls. From those we got several chances for multi-bag profits on the session, and those moves were as follows:

FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts
$230: 1.91-6.29 (+229%)
$227.50: 1.17-4.25 (+263%)
$225: .63-2.56 (+306%)
_____

WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts
$60: .85-1.75 (+106%)
$55: .27-.60 (+122%)
_____

PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls
$31: .45-1.97 (+338%)
$32: .70-1.50 (+114%)
$33: .50-.75 (+50%)

Major Movers from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Runners:

We are ready to kick off another great week of trading, and as always, our first order of business is going to be to rehash our ideas from Friday and see what kind of noise they made for us. We were right down the middle with two bullish and two bearish ideas. The markets posted mainly a positive session, but that didn’t stop our shorts from recording solid gains as well.

Our fresh targets for the day were the TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls, the AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts and the INTC Weekly $28-27 Puts. It appears we may have erred in the strikes on our TSLA Calls, with the $162.50’s being the only contract set in the range we listed, so we’ll just list the gains made there, which were quite considerable. The rest of our ideas also posted some excellent runs for the session:

TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls
$162.50: 1.55-18.05 (+1064%)
_____

AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls
$162.50: 3.55-12.60 (+255%)
$165: 2.01-10.65 (+430%)
_____

CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts
$72.50: .92-2.06 (+124%)
$70: .35-.90 (+157%)

Kicking Off the First of Two Short Trading Weeks

Dave & Busters Entertainment, Inc. PLAY – Options Review:

We just had a single solitary options idea that we formulated for Friday morning’s premarket report, in the Dave & Busters chain, the PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls. We’ve got an update on this morning to start off this short week, which we expect to be rather laid back, if prior years are any indicator.

There weren’t any other interesting earnings reporters going out on the day, but we managed to eke out some decent gains. We’re going without earnings once again today, but we’ve got some increased activity in the OTC as you’ll read about below.

PLAY 01/20 $35-37 Calls
$35: 1.03-1.85 (+80%)
$36: .72-1.27 (+76%)
$37: .60-.81 (+35%)

More OTC Recaps:

We tend to lean more heavily on the OTC toward the end of the year, when penny stocks typically heat up compared to the larger markets. Not many large companies are reporting earnings at the moment, and OTC tax loss selling can hammer a lot of these stocks down. That, in turn, causes a wave of opportunistic traders like ourselves to swoop in and accumulate cheap shares. The net result is a heightened landscape of possibility for many over the counter stocks.

Below, we’ve got a group of OTC plays we’ve been tracking in recent reports that posted some new highs on an otherwise mundane Friday. We last alerted STRY and BIEI on the 20th, and GTII just a couple of days later. Here were the updated figures on the total ranges and possible gain opportunities as we closed out the trading week:

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 20th
Range: .0165-.0335 (+103%)
_____

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI
Alerted: December 20th
Range: .0031-.006 (+99%)
_____

Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. GTII
Alerted: December 22nd
Range: .74-1.20 (+62%)

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%)
_____

PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls
$115: .92-2.20 (+139%)
$120: .33-.70 (+112%)

Blue Apron Holdings Inc. APRN:

We’ve also got another update for APRN, which we had just put on people’s radars in yesterday morning’s report. After seeing a low of .75 yesterday, the stock had reached 1.29 her in the premarket, representing a jump of 72% We’ll continue to monitor this stock when we pick things up on Tuesday following the holiday.
