Major Movers from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Friday’s Options Runners: 

We are ready to kick off another great week of trading, and as always, our first order of business is going to be to rehash our ideas from Friday and see what kind of noise they made for us. We were right down the middle with two bullish and two bearish ideas. The markets posted mainly a positive session, but that didn’t stop our shorts from recording solid gains as well.

Our fresh targets for the day were the TSLA Weekly $161-163 Calls, the AXP Weekly $162.50-165 Calls, the CL 02/17 72.50-70 Puts and the INTC Weekly $28-27 Puts. It appears we may have erred in the strikes on our TSLA Calls, with the $162.50’s being the only contract set in the range we listed, so we’ll just list the gains made there, which were quite considerable. The rest of our ideas also posted some excellent runs for the session:

Big Play Wednesday, 6-Pack of New Ideas

Big Play Wednesday: 

Perhaps some of our newer readers thought we were exaggerating in yesterday morning’s report, when we mentioned how common it is for us sweep the board perfectly with our daily options plays. They wouldn’t have been under the wrong impression for very long, and yet again, all four of the selections we made in the premarket went on to make big moves.

We were on the bearish side of the fence with all of them, which were the SPY 01/25 $398-396 Puts, the BA Weekly $210-205 Puts, the MSFT Weekly $240-235 Puts, and the NEE 02/17 $80-77.50 Puts.  With the markets gapping down and sliding in the first hour, we were able to see the following ranges and total possible profits from these ideas:

SPY 01/25 $398-396 Puts
$398:
 2.17-4.50 (+107%)
$397: 1.58-3.60 (+127%)

Continued Options Trading Excellence

A Mistake Free Wednesday: 

We offered up a set of four possible options trading ideas in our premarket report for yesterday morning, all of which went to the bullish side of the street. Thanks in part to a strong session for the markets in general, we scored another clean sweep, with every target we designated for observation logging  significant movement and opportunities for traders.

Our interests for the day were the KBH 01/20 $34-35 Calls, the SPY 01/11 $391-392 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $120-122 Calls, and the BBBY Weekly $2.50 Calls. As we said, they all went for nice daily runs, and in the case of Bed Bath & Beyond, even a play on the stock itself was a possibility as it traded up from 2.41 and went on to hit a high of 4.50 (+87%). Here’s how those options plays shook out for the session:

KBH 01/20 $34-35 Calls
$34: 
2.07-2.81 (+36%)
