Options Recaps, New Ideas

The Walt Disney Co. DIS – Options Review

On Friday morning, we closed out the week with a last minute options ideasignaling our interest in the DIS Weekly $139-142 Calls. Despite a turbulent open for stocks in general, we saw some really nice early opportunities from those ideas.

The total possible gains on those contracts were as follows: 

DIS Weekly $139-142 Calls
$139 Calls – Range: 
.61-1.48 – Max Gain: 143%
$140 Calls – Range: .38-.94 – Max Gain: 147%
$141 Calls – Range: .25-.54 – Max Gain: 116%
$142 Calls – Range: .12-.38 – Max Gain: 217%


AnaptysBio Inc. ANAB – Options Idea

We also took notice of ANAB this morning after the stock fell to new all-time lows yesterday. Just as a stock that shoots up a great deal in a short time must eventually come down to earth, one that tanks this hard is bound to recover some ground.

From current levels, a play on the stock itself could pan out favorably in a relatively short amount of time, but we will also designate some longer-term contracts in the options chain for an added idea. We’ll radar the ANAB 01/17 $10-15 Calls for observation over the next several weeks.

SUCCESSFUL OPTIONS REVIEW

If you’ve been following our work for a long time, you have no doubt noticed a change over the years. From mainly OTC picks and the occasional big board play, to our present state. We still highlight pure stock plays when the situation calls for it, but the bulk of what makes us so accurate and successful is most definitely our knack for quick-strike options trading.

On Friday, both of our fresh ideas popped off for huge gains, and  play that we were tracking through the short week also added to its gains. We’ll outline the total possible profits from each of those trade ideas to start this new trading week:

SPY Weekly $298-299 Calls
$215 Calls – Range: .45-.97 – Max Gain: 116%
$217.50 Calls – Range: .29-.63 – Max Gain: 117%
$220 Calls – Range: .17-.38 – Max Gain: 124%

LULU Weekly $197.50-200 Calls 

$220 Calls – Range: 2.50-7.00 – Max Gain: 180%
$222.50 Calls – Range: .85-.4.66 – Max Gain: 448%

PVH Corp. PVH

We were discussing PVH for half of the short week beginning on Tuesday with our signal on the PVH 09/20 $75-85 Calls on Wednesday morning, and the movement in the stock allowed additional gains throughout the week. Here are the updated figures of the maximum possible profits off of those ideas:

$75 Calls – Range: 5.10-11.10 – Max Gain: 118%
$80 Calls – Range: 2.00-6.50 – Max Gain: 250%
$85 Calls – Range: .55-2.90 – Max Gain: 427%

CARB 10/18 $17.50 Calls 


Pier 1 Imports Inc. PIR 

We also want to provide a quick recap of the performance of PIR since we called it as a bottom-watch play a little over two weeks ago on August 23rd. We went so far as to say “From current pricing, it would not be crazy to think that this retail stock may be capable of doubling”.

The following day the stock saw a low of 3.76, and hasn’t looked back since. On Friday it hit a new high of 7.20, falling just shy of our possibility assessment with a total increase of 91% over the past couple of weeks.
