Wednesday’s Movers, 3 More New Ideas

Five for Five on Wednesday:

We got things right back on track in yesterday morning’s premarket report, with a mostly bearish slate of options trading ideas.

Wrapping Up a Successful Week, 4 Plays for Friday

Thursday’s Across-the-Board Sweep:

Things hashed out rather well for us on Thursday, as we offered our readers five new ideas for possible options plays in our daily premarket report. The wider the net you cast, there’s always a higher chance of the occasional miss, but that didn’t happen yesterday. Instead we got right back on our 2024 hot streak, with just one single idea we’ve put forth so far here in the new year failing to produce instant positive results.

Yesterday’s movers were the INFY Weekly $18 Calls, the KBH Weekly $62-61 Puts, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $545-547.50 Calls. Here were the types of intraday moves they exhibited during the session:

Off to a Good Start in 2024

Solid Start to the New Year:

We fared reasonably well in our first trading session of 2024 yesterday, despite having no earnings reports to inspire our options candidates of the day. We expect things on that front to be similarly dry moving forward, with few big-name reporters slated to drop figures in the first couple weeks of this new year. As always, we’ll still do everything we can to find other opportunities in the meantime.

As for yesterday’s ideas, here were the daily performance numbers on the four potential plays in our premarket report, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, the AMD Weekly $145-144 Puts, and the VYGR 11/19 $10-12.50 Calls:
