Solid Start to the Week, 3 Fresh Plays

Recap for Monday’s Report:

The week got off to a pretty good start on Monday, despite a brief lull in the flow of big time earnings reporters. We had signaled interest in some SPY Calls as well as a couple of longer-term looks that we feel could have potential in the days and weeks ahead, in our premarket report. The SPY performed quite well, and one of the two February ideas produced immediate positive intraday results.

Those two target sets were the SPY 01/22 $482-483 Calls, and the PBF 02/16 $43-44 Calls. , and in addition to their daily performances, we also have some nice new highs to report on the SAVE 02/16 $5.00-7.50 Calls we’ve been tracking since last Wednesday.

Fresh Options Ideas & More

Options Ideas – Form-4 Plays:

We do typically like to stick with options plays that coincide with big name earnings reporters, but we always like to scan for Form-4’s (insider transactions) and formulate ideas in those instances where we like the chart setup.

We’ve got a couple of potential targets which fit that bill with huge amounts of shares being soaked up in ASAN last week, and a large $10M block being purchased in PFSI yesterday. These transactions give us at least a reasonable confidence that those involved believe that the future looks brighter than the present.

ASAN 01/21 $110-120 Calls
PFSI 12/17 $65 Calls 


Options Ideas – Earnings Plays: 

Of course we don’t want to leave out our bread and butter, so we’ve also taken a look at what the earnings calendar has to offer this morning.

Build-A-Bear and Ambarella are a couple in that category that our catching our eye today, so we’ll hash up some ideas for those as well:

BBW 12/17 $17.50 Calls
AMBA Weekly $197.50-207.50 Calls
