4 Fresh Earnings-Related Options Plays

Solid Options Review: 

Things have gone rather well for us so far this week, with respect to our daily options targets. We had another good session on Tuesday, wherein each of the weekly sets of contracts we signaled interest in tracking, produced intraday upswings of a significant magnitude. We had one longer-term play on ALC which did not experience a big move, but we will likely be coming back to it sometime in the weeks ahead prior to its expiration.

The selections we made with weekly expirations, however, did post some good single-session rips. They were the TSLA Weekly $207.50-210 Calls, the ZM Weekly $76-78 Calls, and the WDAY Weekly $187.50-182.50 Puts, and here’s the breakdown of the kind of profits that were on the table for traders on Tuesday:

TSLA Weekly $207.50-210 Calls

No Shortage of Good Options Plays

A Successful Tuesday Slate: 

We kept things trending in a good direction with the options ideas we signaled in our premarket report yesterday morning, offering up our best shots with a slate of four potential targets for our readers. With the exception of one single contract set in one of those designated ranges, we saw appreciable intraday movement and gain chances in every case.

Those targets were the BABA 01/20 $111-113 Calls, the FRO 01/20 $13-14 Calls, the ACI 01/20 $20-21 Calls, and the PSMT 01/20 $60-65 Calls. The potential profits on those ranged from nominal with the ACI targets, to extremely impressive, in the case of FRO. Here’s how all of those ideas came through for us:

BABA 01/20 $111-113 Calls
$111: 
2.97-5.45 (+84%)
$112: 2.49-4.80 (+93%)
