Good Start to the Week, 3 New Ideas

Recapping Monday’s Runners:

We opened up this short trading week yesterday in solid fashion, offering up a slate of four potential options trading ideas in our premarket report for the day. It continues the momentum we had built up going into this past weekend, and sets us on a course for an excellent four-day week of possibilities. We’ve been just a little light on big name earnings reporters to base our daily ideas from, but we’re still managing quite well.

Yesterday’s list of targets was comprised of the CAR 04/05 $118-120 Calls, the COIN Weekly $260-265 Calls, the DELL 04/05 $114-116 Calls, and the INTC Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts. As you can see below, they afforded us some pretty good opportunities on the day.

Friday’s Major Runners, 4 Fresh Targets

Friday’s Big Movers:

We were pleased to be able to wrap up the trading week on Friday with a strong slate of options movers.

A Winning Wednesday, 5 Fresh Picks

Wednesday’s Winners:

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we placed a trio of potential options trading ideas on watch, and were pleased with the intraday performances on all three of them. Generally, we don’t often miss on our quick-strike (weekly expiration) ideas. We like to occasionally mix in longer-term swing trade ideas that may take awhile to come to fruition, but our strongest suit is definitely ID’ing plays for ‘today’ on any given day.

Yesterday’s plays were the PDD Weekly $149-152.50 Calls, the GIS Weekly $71-72 Calls, and the INTC Weekly $42.50-43.50 Calls, and all three sets of calls fared rather well. Here were the performances they laid down:

PDD Weekly $149-152.50 Calls
$149
: .32-.72 (+125%)
$150: .19-.35 (+84%)
$152.50: .25-.46 (+84%)

INTC Weekly $42.50-43.50 Calls
$42.50: .49-.81 (+65%)
$43: .37-.61 (+65%)
