Options Gainers Across the Board, New Ideas

Options Gainers Across the Board:

The markets were back to the doldrums yesterday, gapping down to start and never getting back above water on the session, but that didn’t stop us from scoring some decent gain chances with the options ideas in our premarket report. Not all of those potential gains were earth-shattering, but several were extremely solid, and the remainder was respectable.

We were tracking the NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls, which put forth the moderate opportunities, while the WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls, and the ZM Weekly $91.50-93 Calls fared quite a bit better, as they logged extra large multi-bag spikes on the day. Take a look at the figures from these successful plays below:

NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls
$98: 1.25-1.88 (+50%)
$99: .95-1.41 (+48%)
$100: .80-1.15 (+44%)

Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, Fresh Ideas

SPY Calls Surge on Market Pop:

We had just some daily SPY Calls and a longer term idea in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the latter of which isn’t really primed for an immediate update, but we most certainly came down on the right side of the fence with the SPY. The markets ripped all day long, and provided us with the catalyst for some really nice intraday gain opportunities.

We were tracking the SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls, and all three of the contract sets contained within recorded huge multibag runs for us. The total possible daily gains were as follows:

SPY 05/23 $391-393 Calls
$391: 2.04-6.82 (+234%)
$392: 1.58-5.81 (+268%)
$393: 1.19-5.05 (+324%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
NTES Weekly $98-100 Calls
WOOF Weekly $15-16 Calls
ZM Weekly $91.50-93 Calls

Watchlist Runners:

We saw some solid movement out of some of the plays off of yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. CBIO ran following the announcement of a $60M asset sale to Vertex, while GOVX was another stock boosted by the rising concerns over monkeypox, which has officially made its way to the US, and seems to a hot-button catalyst for related plays at the moment. .

Another Flip on the SPY, Fresh Ideas

Options Review:

It has been a stellar week for options trading, despite the markets having their hiccups. Yesterday was another mixed bag in terms of the overall sentiment, but both of the quick strike options plays we were tracking in our premarket report produced immediate results for us. The volatility afforded by recent market conditions has been a real plus for daytraders.

Our designated targets for yesterday’s session were the SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts, and the DIS Weekly $101-98 Puts, and there were multi-bag intraday opportunities across the board in both ranges. Below, we’re going to flip our stance on the SPY as well, something we’ve done successfully many times in recent sessions, so be sure to read on past yesterday’s performance figures to find those fresh targets.

SPY 05/13 $392-389 Puts
$392: 2.40-8.02 (+197%)
$391: 2.02-7.30 (+262%)
$390: 1.74-6.60 (+279%)
$389: 1.47-5.90 (+301%)

Starting the Week Off Right, Keeping it Rolling

More Options Rippers:

Once again we came up with some solid options plays yesterday. A couple of the fresh ideas we formulated and passed along in our premarket report fared rather well. We led off with some SPY Puts which worked out from the outset, as the markets dragged their feet until around noon. We also had a bullish set of calls in the Coke chain which afforded ourselves and our readers a decent shot at some sizable intraday profit opportunities. The other pair of ideas from yesterday’s report were longer term calls with expiration in late May, so we’ll come back to those at a later date.

Our winning targets for the day were the SPY 04/25 $426-424 Puts and the KO Weekly $64-66 Calls, and here were the gains that were there for the taking on those:

SPY 04/25 $426-424 Puts
$426: .87-2.44 (+180%)
$425: .54-1.75 (+224%)
$424: .34-1.19 (+250%)
