A Winning Wednesday, 3 New Opportunities

Wednesday’s Recap:

Wednesday turned out to be another really good day for our options ideas. Four out of the five potential targets from our premarket report for the day were based off of untraded-upon earnings reports, and all four of those yielded some good intraday opportunities. The fifth was a swing-trade idea based of of some insider buying records, and we may yet come back for that one at a later date.

For today, we have the numbers yesterday’s earnings plays recorded for the session. Those were the TSLA Weekly $157.50-162.50 Calls, the BA Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls, the BSX 05/17 $72.50-75 Calls, and the TXN Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and their performances were as follows:
