MEGA Moves in the SPY, Trio of Fresh Ideas

Huge SPY Moves, Options Recap:

The markets absolutely ripped on Thursday, and the feeling has continued into today where the S&P 500 seems set to open above its all time high from January of 2022. That meant really good things for the SPY Calls we featured in yesterday’s premarket report. In fact, three of our four daily options candidates were calls, and all three of them produced really nice intraday upswings.

Our winning targets for the session were the SPY 01/18 $473-475 Calls, the TSM Weekly $109-111 Calls, and the DFS Weekly $96-97.50 Calls, and those SPY $475 Calls were the very clear favorite, as they put up some truly astonishing figures, to the tune of more than a SIXTY-BAGGER in the $475’s:

SPY 01/18 $473-475 Calls
$473: .44-4.00 (+809%)
$474: .16-3.00 (+1775%)

Closing Out a Highly Successful Short Week

Thursday’s Big Bangers: 

Thursday’s session turned up another nice crop of movers, with regard to our premarket earnings-based options ideas. We were looking a trio of earnings plays and went bearish on them all. A lackluster day from the markets in general aided our efforts, and we were able witness some really nice runs out of our selected plays.

We were honed in on the PG Weekly $144-142 Puts, the AA Weekly $52-50 Puts, and the DFS Weekly $96-94 Puts, and most of the target contracts in question posted some serious multibag moves on the day. Here are the ranges and total possible gains to be had on the backs of those ideas:

PG Weekly $144-142 Puts
$144: .36-1.95 (+441%)
$143: .22-1.25 (+468%)
$142: .14-.81 (+478%)
_____

AA Weekly $52-50 Puts
$52: .75-2.40 (+220%)
$51: .39-1.62 (+315%)
$50: .21-.85 (+304%)
_____

DFS Weekly $96-94 Puts
$96: 1.25-2.00 (+60%)
$95: .90-1.90 (+90%)
$94: .50-1.65 (+230%)

NFLX Weekly $332.50-340 Calls*
RF Weekly $21-22 Calls*
SLB Weekly $57-58 Calls*
ALLY Weekly $27-29 Calls*
SPY 01/20 $388-390 Calls*
