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
$207.50:
 5.80-8.15 (+41%)
$210: 4.80-6.90 (+44%)

ZM Weekly $76-78 Calls
$76:
 .92-2.16 (+135%)
$77: .70-1.68 (+140%)

_____

WDAY Weekly $187.50-182.50 Puts
$187.50: 2.37-4.15 (+75%)

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.

The quick-strike targets that really produced for us were the SPY 08/26 $413-415 Calls, the SNOW Weekly $187.50-192.50 Calls, and the DLTR Weekly $155-150 Puts, which recorded the following intraday activity:

More Flawless Options Performance, New Ideas

Another Straight Flush of Options Ideas:

Our daily options ideas that we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report contained a varied mix of bullish and bearish targets as well as expiration dates, and thanks to a generally volatile session for stocks in general, all four of those plays put together some pretty good intraday moves for us.

We were targeting the IIVI 09/16 $55-60 Calls, the WOOF Weekly $15.50-14.50 Puts, the LZB 09/16 $30 Calls, and the JWN Weekly $21-20 Puts, and the very nice intraday runs and total possible gains for shrewd traders on these ideas were as follows:

2.05-3.70 (+80%)
$60: .60-1.26 (+110%)
