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:

SPY 08/26 $413-415 Calls
$413: 
3.55-7.20 (+103%)
$414: 2.94-6.35 (+116%)

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. It marks the second consecutive session that every single idea we put forth managed to record sizable gains.

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%)

Breaking for Thanksgiving on a High Note

Another Solid Options Effort:

We took a bold stance in yesterday morning’s premarket report, going bearish on all three sets of options ideas we formulated for the session. While all three target stocks turned in green candles on the day, the first couple hours of the session definitely played into our hands nicely. There were substantial opportunities for gains on the table for all three of our interests.

We were targeting the URBN Weekly $35-33 Puts, the DLTR Weekly $132-130 Puts, and the BBY Weekly $122-119 Puts. The following are the morning ranges and total possible profits that could have been attained off of these ideas:

URBN Weekly $35-33 Puts
$35:
 1.70-3.20 (+88%)
$34: .90-2.30 (+156%)
$33: .55-1.55 (+181%)
_____

DLTR Weekly $132-130 Puts
$132: .26-.77 (+196%)

iSpecimen, Inc. ISPC – Recap:

On Monday morning, we tagged ISPC in our watchlist, and that stock went on to make a nice intraweek move.

From a low of 8.06, the stock ran as high as 18.50. That works out to an increase of 130% which is an excellent short term move for a NASDAQ stock in this price range. In those two sessions. ISPC has traded roughly ten times its 30-day average volume.

Going Bearish on Earnings Reporters

Options Review:

We’ve been back on our Midas Touch options trading business over the last several sessions, and yesterday morning was no different. We were just patting ourselves on the back for 100% accuracy on the previous session’s bangers, and we managed to do it again to start this holiday-shortened week.

We signaled ranges on a couple of plays, highlighting the SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls, as well as going short on the CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts. Both turned out to be excellent notions, and the board was fully green for yet another day. The end of this week will be rather subdued, with a day off for Thanksgiving and just a half trading day for Black Friday, so it’s good we’re getting these in now.

Here are the total possible profits that could have been banked off of yesterday’s targets:

SPY 11/22 $469-470 Calls
$469:
 1.99-4.50 (+126%)
$470: .62-2.40 (+287%)
_____

CRNC 12/17 $105-95 Puts 
$105: 15.00-22.46 (+50%)
$100: 9.70-18.20 (+88%)
$95: 6.00-13.49 (+125%)
