Impressive Runners from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Big Move Friday:

We capped things off at the end of last week in strong fashion, despite a smaller than usual selection of potential plays. We may have only offered up two options ideas, but that’s all we needed, as they both not only made positive moves, but absolutely flourished. There were some really nice chances for big time gains to close out the week. 

Our winning targets were the SPY 09/23 $371-369 Puts, and the COST Weekly $465-475 Calls, which put together the following intraday surges. We’ve also got an update on the DRI 10/21 $125 Puts, which we began tracking the morning prior on Thursday. Those set an impressive new high after the stock went tumbling again.

$371:

Five Fresh Plays to Close Out a Good Week

Solid Options Runners from Thursday:

While we didn’t quite get a clean sweep on our earnings related options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, we did manage to find some fairly big runners in three out of the five selections we made for the day. The SPY Calls stood out, with the markets logging a seriously bullish session all day long, which facilitated some solid double bag runs, but the ideas we had in SNOW were the real winners.

Thursday’s Movers, Friday’s Targets

Options Recap:

As we head into the end of what has been a very productive week, we’re going to take a minute to reflect on the excellent job we’ve done weathering the earnings drought which is set to end on Monday day morning.

Stock and Options Updates, Fresh Plays

Options Review: 

Despite the fresh trading week opening up with a fizzle instead of a bang, both of the quick-strike sets of potential options targets we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report were still able to produce.

The targets in question were the DWAC Weekly $27-28 Calls, and the AZZ Weekly $40 Calls. The DWAC calls certainly came through as the top play of the day, while AZZ turned in relatively nominal gains. We’ll continue to monitor those for further activity as the week progress. In the meantime, the DWAC chain provided us with multiple multi-bag gain opportunities on the day:

DWAC Weekly $27-28 Calls
$27: 2.27-5.20 (+129%)
$27.50: 1.85-4.35 (+135%)
$28: 1.92-4.10 (+114%)
_____

AZZ Weekly $40 Calls
$40:
2.20-2.80 (+27%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
PEP Weekly $167.50-172.50 Calls
ETWO Weekly $7.50 Puts


Other Updates:

Cruzani, Inc. CZNI – We tagged CZNI in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock made a respectable run to its highest PPS since October. It ran from .0005-.0009, which is a 40% increase.
____

Marijuana Strategic Ventures, Inc. MSVI – We tagged MSVI on Wednesday of last week, while the stock was trading for as low as .09, and yesterday the stock ran to .43, which represents a very nice move of 378%
