Earnings-Related Options Ideas & More

Monday’s Options Review:

We kicked off the week in solid form in our premarket report yesterday morning, despite lacking a large slate of earnings reporters off of which to base our daily ideas. All three of the quick-strike options targets we offered up for the day turned in winning cards. We had a much longer term with a June expiration as well, but we can come back for those at a later date.

In the meantime, our fresh targets to kick things off on Monday morning were the SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls, the MNDY Weekly $145-155 Calls, and the SHAK Weekly $66-67 Calls and here are the numbers thy put up for us on the session:

SPY 05/15 $411-412 Calls
$411: .59-2.48 (+320%)
$412: .28-1.58 (+464%)

4 Fresh Ideas for a New Trading Week

Friday Options Recap:

It was a little bit of a subdued finish to what was an otherwise fairly exciting week of trading on Friday. We had a limited slate of earnings reporters on the day, but still formed a few ideas that managed to make some early moves. The percentage gains weren’t quite on a level that would get us overexcited, but all contracts involved did make reasonable moves, with one lone exception.

Those ideas that we were tracking were the SPB 05/19 $65-70 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and the SPY 05/12 $412.50-413 Calls. Here’s how their early positive movement played out in terms of total possible gains for quick traders:

SPB 05/19 $65-70 Calls
$70: .83-1.69 (+104%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $175-177.50 Calls
$175: .36-.60 (+67%)

$413: .13-.24 (+85%)

We’ve also been tracking the IFF 05/19 $95-90 Puts since our report from this past Tuesday the 9th, and IFF continued to decline all week, leading to some really nice new highs in those targets:

IFF 05/19 $95-90 Puts
$95: 2.90-12.10 (+317%)
$90: 1.79-7.20 (+302%)

Blue Horseshoe Stocks: DLCR Update, Options & More

Veeva Systems, Inc. VEEV – Options Update

We closed out yesterday’s report with a fresh options trading idea in the VEEV chain, and were not disappointed with the results.

We focused on VEEV after the company posted a mammoth year-over-year sales increase in its premarket earnings report. Our specific targets of interest were the VEEV Weekly $39-42 Calls and it came as no surprise to see solid intraday gain opportunities from each and every set of those contracts.

$39 Calls – Range: 1.55-2.25 – Max Gain: 45%
$40 Calls – Range: .85-1.53 – Max Gain: 80%
$41 Calls – Range: .50-.90 – Max Gain: 80%
$42 Calls – Range: .25-.50 – Max Gain: 100%

Kibush Capital Corp. DLCR

We placed DLCR on watch in yesterday’s premarket report, and were instantly met with chances for intraday gains by this subpenny swinger. From its low of .00297 first thing in the morning, the stock eventually reached a high .0046, representing a move of 55%

It marked the third straight session that DLCR has recorded higher highs and higher lows, and with a strong close at .0044, we’ll keep an eye out for continuation of the trend. For the stock to retain our interest it we’ll want to see it hold support at or above .0037 on any pullbacks.
