Wrapping Up a Successful Week, 4 Plays for Friday

Thursday’s Across-the-Board Sweep:

Things hashed out rather well for us on Thursday, as we offered our readers five new ideas for possible options plays in our daily premarket report. The wider the net you cast, there’s always a higher chance of the occasional miss, but that didn’t happen yesterday. Instead we got right back on our 2024 hot streak, with just one single idea we’ve put forth so far here in the new year failing to produce instant positive results.

Yesterday’s movers were the INFY Weekly $18 Calls, the KBH Weekly $62-61 Puts, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, and the NVDA Weekly $545-547.50 Calls. Here were the types of intraday moves they exhibited during the session:

Wednesday’s Winners, 5 Fresh Options Ideas

Wednesday’s Winners:

For yesterday morning’s premarket report, we lofted possible targets in five separate options chains, and got back some mixed, but ultimately good results. Things have been a little light on the big name earnings front recently, but we’ve found some good opportunities elsewhere. We should start to see a ton more chances at earnings plays toward the end of the month, and until then we’ll continue to get creative when choosing our daily items of interest.

Our fresh ideas for the day on Wednesday were the NVDA Weekly $532.50-537.50 Calls, the WDFC 01/19 $250 Calls, the AEHR 01/19 $20 Puts, the SGH 01/19 $20 Calls, and the W 01/26 $55 Calls. With the expiration a little farther out on those W Calls, we’ll have to come back to those at a later date, but the rest of our plays we’re pretty good. Here were the intraday moves and total possible gains that they recorded:

NVDA Weekly $532.50-537.50 Calls
$532.50:
 8.60-16.00 (+86%)
$535: 7.13-14.00 (+96%)
$537.50: 6.10-12.20 (+100%)
_____

WDFC 01/19 $250 Calls
$250:
 6.39-29.00 (+354%)
_____

AEHR 01/19 $20 Puts
$20:
 1.00-1.95 (+95%)
_____

SGH 01/19 $20 Calls

Another Perfect Options Run, 4 New Targets

Another Clean Sweep on Options:

We fared quite well with the options ideas we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report. The markets ripped all day long, and despite three out of our four daily selections being bearish, our targets successfully bucked the overall trend with some really nice intraday runs.

We were honed in on the DAL Weekly $34.50-35 Calls, the FAST 04/21 $52.50-50 Puts, the INFY 04/21 $16-15 Puts, and the PGR 04/21 $145-140 Puts. We got multibag runners out of all of our interests, with the exception of the FAST Puts, which only fell slightly shy of double bag status and still exhibited some excellent intraday movement. Here’s how we fared with yesterday’s clean sweep:

DAL Weekly $34.50-35 Calls
$34.50:
 .15-.55 (+267%)
$35: .10-.39 (+290%)
