Shorts Yield Dividends, Fresh Ideas to Close out the Week

Bearish Signals Pay Off:

We got things back on track in a big way for yesterday morning’s premarket report, with regard to our daily options ideas. It is an extremely rare occurrence that we would signal a full slate with nothing but bearish targets, but that’s exactly how things shook out yesterday, and it worked to our advantage.

MDB Weekly $280-275 Puts
$280: 11.90- 40.58 (+241%)

Five Fresh Plays to Close Out a Good Week

Options Perfection, New Ideas

Perfect Streak of Options Plays:

We really turned the volume up to 11 yesterday in terms of our fortunes with options trading this week. We came out in our premarket report with a collection of four potential target ranges in some big name earnings reporters, and the results we got were quite pleasing.

All four of our designated plays produced some really good intraday movement and gain opportunities for ourselves, and our readers. For those of you who are newly subscribed to our daily reports, this is the well we typically like to dip into whenever possible. Big companies reporting their quarterlies provides daytraders with the price action and volatility that can allow for big time intraday successes.

Our targets that flourished yesterday were the DKS Weekly $111-113 Calls, the BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls, the PANW Weekly $550-565 Calls, and the ZM Weekly $89-86 Puts, and these were the moves they posted on the day:
