Recapping Options Runners, Fresh Plays

Markets Rip on Monday:

We were a little light on options activity with one of the two ideas we signaled in yesterday’s report, but fortunately for us, the day was marked by a sizable surge in the markets. That not only sent our SPY 12/12 $393-394 Calls for the day on a major run, but we saw new highs in several of the December 16th Calls we’ve been tracking in other chains in recent weeks.

We signaled the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls for observation on December 2nd, and both the GTLB 12/16 $45 Calls and the FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls we targeted on the 6th. Here are the full breakdowns of yesterday’s SPY’s, and the performance of the other plays over the aforementioned date ranges:

Another Week of Solid Options Winners

Another Perfect Day for Options:

We scored major points with yesterday’s earnings plays, of which there were several. We took a stab at four separate ideas, and came out with intraday runners all the way across the board, continuing what has been a fantastic week of options trading opportunities. The markets themselves put up a mixed bag performance yesterday, but ran hard out of the opening gate and helped give our targets a push in the right direction.

Our areas of focus for the session were the DIS Weekly $120-123 Calls, the BROS Weekly $46-48 Calls, the BAM 08/19 $50-55 Calls, and the SPY 08/12 $424-425 Calls. They all performed rather well on the day with the following moves and total possible intraday gains:

DIS Weekly $120-123 Calls
$120:
 .62-1.21 (+81%)
$121: .39-.81 (+108%)
$122: .26-.54 (+108%)
$123: .16-.34 (+112%)

BROS Weekly $46-48 Calls
$46: 3.79-8.00 (+111%)
$47: 2.54-7.10 (+180%)

Yesterday’s Options Movers, Fresh Plays & More

Yesterday’s Options Results: 

Our perfect streak had to come to an end sooner or later, with one of our ideas from yesterday’s premarket report failing to produce instant opportunities. We didn’t see an immediate push from the August YETI Calls we signaled, but there is, of course, plenty of time before expiration for us to get the activity we’re looking for from them.

In the meantime, our other three selections proved to be solid ideas for the day, and three out of four is nothing to sneeze at! Those plays that yielded gratification were the WBA Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls, the DCT 07/15 $17.50-15 Puts and the SGH 07/15 $17.50 Calls, and here were the total possible profits which could have been reaped from those targets:

WBA Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls
$38.50:
 .52-1.13 (+117%)
$39: .45-.84 (+87%)
$39.50: .35-.59 (+69%)
_____

DCT 07/15 $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50: 
2.45-4.00 (+63%)
$15: .70-2.25 (+221%)
_____

SGH 07/15 $17.50 Calls 

$17.50: .15-.55 (+267%)


Fresh Options Idea
MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
NFLX 07/22 $185-190 Calls


haring Economy International Inc. SEII – OTC Recap:

Yesterday morning we noticed that SEII had been pressing upward on a considerable run, and included it in our extended watchlist. The stock continued its impressive push, trading in a range from .106 up to .142. The momentum built up in this stock is considerable, and we’ll certainly be watching for a continuation of same in the sessions to come on the other side of the long weekend.

Options Review, Bearish on New Plays

BAC, SYF Options Review: 

We made good on both of the short-term options trading ideas we issued in yesterday morning’s premarket report. with our long -term play needing some more time to mature. We typically steer clear of banks, but occasionally we will take a shot following an earnings drop and we did so successfully with Bank of America.

We were zeroed in on the BAC Weekly $36.50-37.50 Calls, as well as the SYF Weekly $37-39 Calls, which also produced significant intraday gain opportunities for us on the day. The daily ranges and total possible profits off of those ideas were as follows:

$36.50: 1.18-2.86 (+142%)
