Wednesday’s Winners, 4 Fresh Options Plays

Winning Trend Continues on Wednesday:

After a decent start to the first trading week of the new year on Tuesday, we kept things rolling pretty well yesterday for the second straight day. Our premarket report contained four potential plays on the options front, and each of those targets recorded some pretty good intraday upswings. We were hoping for a nice beginning to 2024 and thus far that goal is going according to plan!

Half-Day Holiday Runners, 4 New Ideas

Pre-Holiday Movers:

We left things off Monday morning in anticipation of a fairly subdued half-day of trading, but we still managed to find some good runners which provided fairly solid intraday opportunities. Apart from the pair of August ideas that were also included, which we’ll continue to keep an eye on in coming weeks, everything we highlighted made good moves for us.

Those plays were the LCID Weekly $7 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $265-275 Calls, and the DIS 07/21 $90 Calls, and here were the respectable runs they registered for Monday’s half-session.

Yesterday’s Runners, 4 Fresh Ideas

Yesterday’s Movers:

Yesterday did not present a very good trading session for the markets in general, however, despite the fact that we went bullish on all of the options ideas in our premarket report, the overall trend was bucked, and our targets produced some pretty good intraday gain chances for us.  We had settled on an array of four earnings related ideas, and were not disappointed with the results.

We were focused in on the NVS 05/19 $105 Calls, the MCD Weekly $292.50-297.50 Calls, the PEP Weekly $187.50-190 Calls, and the RTX Weekly $104 Calls. With the exception of our single NVS target, all of our tracked strike points produced multi-bag intraday runs.
