Fresh Earnings-Related Options Ideas


Fresh Options Ideas:

As we promised in yesterday morning’s report, we’re back up and running today, and would like to once again apologize for the lapse in coverage. Luckily, there were no really major names reporting earnings on Monday, so we really didn’t miss out on much. Today’s earning calendar is far more interesting, so it would seem the timing is fortuitous.

With no figures from fresh ideas yesterday to report, we’re simply going to jump right into the earnings reporters that are catching our attention this morning. Once again, we thank our many loyal daily readers for their patience and understanding regarding yesterday’s lack of fresh potential plays. Here is what we’re drawn to today:

ANET Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls
UBER Weekly $49.50-51 Calls
MRK Weekly $106-108 Calls
CAT Weekly $262.50-267.50 Calls

Winning Options Plays, 4 Fresh Ideas

Options Reviews:

Despite only having a single earnings reporter yesterday morning off of which we could base an options idea, we managed to turn up some pretty good opportunities including a couple multi-bag gain chances.

That lone fresh play was for the PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls, and they did post some nice intraday moves. In addition, we have a couple of updates on some longer term calls that we signaled in reports from last week. For the CAT 11/04 $180-185 Calls, we alerted these calls on last Wednesday the 5th, while the UNFI 11/18 $35 Calls were an idea we formulated on September 30th. Both have performed rather nicely, and give a good example of why we like to include a mix of quick-strike plays with longer-term ideas.

PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls 
$162.50: 4.55-8.10 (+78%)
$165: 2.77-6.02 (+117%)

SPY Cooks Again, Fresh Plays

Options Reviews:

Our primary mover of the day yesterday involved the SPY Calls that we signaled in yesterday morning’s premarket report. It was the second straight session in a row wherein the markets have put together extremely bullish performances, and that led to some serious gains in the targets we were tracking.

Those potential-filled plays were the SPY 10/05 $370-372 Calls which put forth some very solid daily runs for us. We also want to circle back for the FTNT 10/21 $45-50 Calls, which we slated for observation on Monday morning. Those too have produced notable gains so far as we head through this midweek. The trading ranges and potential gains on these plays have been as follows:

SPY 10/05 $370-372 Calls

$370: 4.28-8.53 (+99%)
$371: 3.66-7.55 (+106%)
$372: 3.08-6.75 (+119%)

FTNT 10/21 $45-50 Calls

Applied Minerals Inc. AMNL – OTC Recap:

Just for a quick update on a stock that performed very well off of yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. AMNL saw a low of .0091 on the day before surging as high as .02, which works out to a v ery respectable gain of 120%

Yesterday’s Hitters, Today’s New Ideas

Tuesday’s Big Plays:

Things continued to go rather well for us on the options trading front yesterday. We stick our necks out to come up with quality trading ideas on a daily basis, and while it can sometimes prove challenging, we always seem to get the job done in respectable fashion. Of course it helps significantly that the markets have been especially volatile, as they have been this earnings season, to ratchet up the opportunities for daytraders. We hit on three out of the four ideas in which we were interested.

The potential plays we targeted in yesterday morning’s premarket report that went on to record big gains were the UBER Weekly $26.50-27.50 Calls, the MAR Weekly $160-162.50 Calls, and the CAT Weekly $192.50-187.50 Puts. Lets have a look at the type of intraday movement they provided for us during yesterday’s session.
