New Year, New Opportunities!

Options Reviews: 

We hope everyone had a Happy New Year and a pleasant long weekend, and are all set to hit the ground running. We’re ready to give everything we’ve got to make 2023 every bit as exciting as 2022, and more! We’re going to kick things off this morning by going over the performances on a couple sets of longer-term options ideas we formulated a couple of weeks ago.

From our reports on December 20th and 22nd, respectively, we’ve been tracking the PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls and the PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls. The Paychex calls in particular have posted some serious multibag gains over that time span. With still more than two weeks remaining until their expiration, both sets of ideas have made pretty good headway indeed, posting the following moves and total possible profits so far:

PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
$35: 1.03-1.85 (+80%)
$36: .72-1.27 (+76%)
_____

PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls
$115: .92-4.03 (+338%)
$120: .33-1.65 (+400%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 01/03 $383-384 Calls
TSLA Weekly $120-118 Puts 


Silo Pharma, Inc. SILO – NASDAQ Recap:

We included SILO on our watchlist in Friday morning’s premarket report, and were pleased with the single session move it made from 4.64-6.56. That works out to an intraday rise of 41% which is a pretty respectable rip for a $4+ NASDAQ stock. Our extended watchlists typically contain a mix of both big board and OTC stocks.

SMAR Options Review, Fresh Ideas

Smartsheet, Inc. SMAR – Options Review:

First off, we’d just like to apologize for the lack of a premarket report on Friday. An untimely power outage prevented us from getting anything out to readers in time for the market open. In the past dozen years, we have missed maybe five trading days, if that, so it’s not something one should expect to see repeated anytime soon.

In the meantime, we did see some new highs in the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls prior to their expiration at week’s end, which we wanted to report back on today before kicking off a fresh trading week. We have been tracking these calls since December 2nd, and here are the figures and total possible profits we witnessed over that span of roughly two weeks:

SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls
$35: 1.55-7.50 (+384%)
$40: .34-2.65 (+679%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
SHOP 01/06 $36.50-37.50 Calls
AAPL 01/06 $139-141 Calls 


OTC Recaps:

We’ve also got a couple of quick updates on the recent performance of a couple of the OTC plays we’ve tagged in our extended watchlists. When we left off on Thursday, we had been tracking both of these stocks for a week.

Continued Options Excellence, Fresh Plays

A Perfect Wednesday:

We got right back into the groove of perfect options plays on Wednesday, with our premarket report for the day containing no less than five fresh ideas for our readers’ consideration. Despite a choppy day from the markets in general, we were able to see some pretty nice gain chances in our targeted contracts all the same.

Those movers were the OLLI 12/16 $55-52.50 Puts, the THO 12/16 $85-90 Calls, the CPB Weekly $53-55 Calls, the LOVE 12/16 $25-22.50 Puts and the SPY 12/07 $393-392 Puts. As we said, we may have cast a wide net here, but it wouldn’t have mattered which way you angled because there were plenty of big fish to land! In the case of the SPY’s, one could have increased their position more than TEN-FOLD! Here’s a breakdown of the sorts of intraday gains that were on the table:

OLLI 12/16 $55-52.50 Puts

Tuesday’s Options Success, 5-Pack of Fresh Plays

Tuesday’s Options Recaps:

We got onto a good track yesterday with the fresh options ideas we included in yesterday morning’s premarket report, which each of the three sets of targets that we formulated producing considerable intraday movements and potential gains. This was despite all of them being bullish in nature, and the fact that the markets saw yet another disappointing session. We’ve got another, even larger slate of options ideas for our readers to consider this morning, as well.

Our ideas that helped us buck the trend yesterday were the GTLB 12/16 $45 Calls, the FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls, and the SIG Weekly $60-62 Calls. While we certainly didn’t see astronomical gains, there was plenty of intraday movement and profit opportunities for us in every case.

$45:
.95-1.45 (+53%)

FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls

Big Earnings Drops Continue, Fresh Plays

Tuesday’s Big Runners:

We had a pretty full earnings calendar yesterday morning, which is a trend that will persist throughout the remainder of the week. It resulted in our designating a group of four options ideas as primary trading interests of the day in our premarket report. Despite an extremely lackluster session for the markets at large, with a gap up to start the day followed by free-fall in the morning and a humdrum afternoon, all four of the target ranges we offered up as potential trading ideas produced considerable gains.

Those plays were the PFE Weekly $47.50-48.50 Calls, the LLY Weekly $355-347.50 Puts, the SONY Weekly $68-70 Calls, and the UBER Weekly $28-30 Calls. Here were the daily ranges and total possible gains they exhibited:

PFE Weekly $47.50-48.50 Calls
