Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Monday’s Options Review:

We kicked off the week in solid form in our premarket report yesterday morning, despite lacking a large slate of earnings reporters off of which to base our daily ideas. All three of the quick-strike options targets we offered up for the day turned in winning cards. We had a much longer term with a June expiration as well, but we can come back for those at a later date.

In the meantime, our fresh targets to kick things off on Monday morning were the SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls, the MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls, and the SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls and here are the numbers thy put up for us on the session:

SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls

Great Start to the Short Week, Fresh Plays

Short Week Begins on a High Note: 

We got things off to a really good start yesterday morning with our first report of this short trading week, carrying over the success we have been enjoying all year long. We rarely seem to miss, and such was the case again with yesterday’s potential targets. We selected a couple of big name earnings reporters with weekly contracts, and one extended term expiration, and saw reasonable intraday opportunities out of all of them.

They were the WMT Weekly $139-142 Calls, the HD Weekly $302.50-305 Calls, and the BHP 03/17 $67.50-70 Calls, and the breakdown of their daily movement and total possible profits for traders, were as follows:
