Recaps from the Short Week, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps: 

Our options idea for the TWTR chain from Thursday morning’s premarket report returned good intraday results despite the stock trending in the wrong direction. The markets were subdued on Thursday, but that also played well into the bearish ideas we had signaled in the two sessions prior. On Tuesday we signaled some puts in the KMX chain, and on Wednesday, we added JPM to the mix. In both cases, Thursday’s session brought new highs for us.

Our exact targets were the TWTR 04/14 $47-49 Calls, the JPM Weekly $129-127 Puts, and the KMX Weekly $105-97.50 Puts, and here are the updated figures on the moves we observed in those plays:

TWTR 04/14 $47-49 Calls

$48: .16-.55 (+243%)

Major Options Movers:

We absolutely crushed it with our earnings plays once again yesterday, signaling a trio of related options ideas in our premarket report. Despite a mixed, yet primarily down day for the markets, the volatility provided by these companies’ earnings drops powered some significant positive intraday movement.

We were targeting the LULU Weekly $360-370 Calls, the MU Weekly $82-85 Calls, and the BNTX Weekly $182.50-187.50 Calls, and of course they all produced solid opportunities for us. Additionally, we have an update on the DOOO 04/14 $70-75 Calls  which we signaled for observation on Friday morning, and have since tacked on more new highs.

The breakdown of those single session gainers as well as that 4-day swinger are as follows:

LULU Weekly $360-370 Calls
$360:
 7.50-26.41 (+252%)
$365: 5.00-23.23 (+364%)
$370: 3.57-20.00 (+460%)

Major Options Success, Fresh Plays & More

Solid Hitters Across the Board:

Our options trading prowess continues to assert itself as we head into this midweek. You could probably count the amount of bad ideas we’ve had all year on one hand. For the vast majority of the selections we make, the profits have been there for the taking, and the targets we hashed out in yesterday’s premarket report were no exception.

We were focused on the SPY 03/30 $457-460 Calls, the ASO Weekly $38-40 Calls, and the LOVE 04/14 $50-55 Calls on the day, and there wasn’t a single contract set contained within those ranges which failed to provide substantial intraday gain chances for our readers.

Here are the trading ranges and the figures for total possible gains on those ideas: 

SPY 03/30 $457-460 Calls
$457:
 4.59-7.15 (+56%)
$458: 4.01-6.24 (+56%)
$459: 3.51-5.88 (+68%)
$460: 3.00-5.20 (+73%)

ASO Weekly $38-40 Calls
