4 Fresh Options Plays to Finish the Week

SPY Runners, Earnings Plays: 

We played both sides of the fence on the SPY yesterday, signaling a strike range of both puts and calls in our premarket report. We only consider such a thing when the markets seem due for a choppy day, and we were certainly correct in assuming that would be the case. Thanks to a mixed session, we got just what we were looking for with the SPY Puts doing their thing in the morning, and the calls claiming the spotlight for the remainder of the day. Our pair of earnings plays also yielded results, giving us the third consecutive session of 100% accuracy on our ideas.

The specific targets we were zeroed in on were the SPY 03/11 $424-422 Puts, the SPY 03/11 $422-424 Calls, the JD Weekly $60-58 Puts, and the ASAN 03/18 $40-35 Puts.

Gauging the SPY, Fresh Plays

Another Excellent Day for Options:

We kept the options train rolling along the tracks yesterday morning, when we were just patting ourselves on the back for going 3-for-3 on Tuesday’s options ideas. We then of course formulated a fresh selection of potential targets to observe, and for the second consecutive session, we saw some really nice moves in all of them.

Our areas of interest for the day were the MDB Weekly $305-315 Calls, the THO 03/18 $90-95 Calls, and the CRCT 03/22 $10 Puts, and they didn’t let us down. There were fine opportunities across the board, and they were as follows:

MDB Weekly $305-315 Calls
$305:
 18.10-36.00 (+99%)
$310: 13.50-28.87 (+114%)
$315: 11.35-25.70 (+126%)
_____

THO 03/18 $90-95 Calls
$90: 2.00-4.50 (+125%)
$95: .90-2.24 (+149%)
_____

CRCT 03/22 $10 Puts
$10: .50-.75 (+50%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

As we all know by now, here’s been a lot of volatility added to the markets via the uncertainty generated by the ongoing Russian attacks on the Ukraine, and today we’re going to straddle the fence a bit after some rather flat CPI figures came in this morning. We’re going to signal a set of SPY strikes, and leave it for our readers to gauge which way the wind is blowing, and whether to go bearish or bullish at any given moment today. We’ve also got a couple of earnings plays to add the mix as well.

SPY 03/11 $422-424 Calls
SPY 03/11 $424-422 Puts
JD Weekly $60-58 Puts
ASAN 03/18 $40-35 Puts
