BIG WINNING OPTIONS

We attempted to keep our recent trend of earnings related options success rolling yesterday morning, and not only did we do so, but we actually exceeded our recent success with not one but two separate ideas that gained at least 1400% for yesterday alone!

United Parcel Service, Inc. UPS  – UPS was the first of two fresh ideas that we formulated. We were looking at the UPS Weekly $104-107 Calls after the company’s own earnings report, and each of the contracts in our designated range produced enormous intraday gain opportunities.

$104 Calls – Range: 1.00-4.00 – Max Gain: 300%
$105 Calls – Range: .42-3.10 – Max Gain: 638%
$106 Calls
 – Range: .20-2.34 – Max Gain: 1070%
$107 Calls
 – Range: .10-1.55 – Max Gain: 1450%

Mastercard, Inc. MA

The other idea from yesterday’s report also involved a stand-out from the earnings calendar. We targeted the MA Weekly $207.50-217.50 Calls and there were some notable chances there as well.

Once again the potential single session gains were absolutely stunning, including our second big time fourteen bagger of the day!

$207.50 Calls – Range: 3.36-5.50 – Max Gain: 64%
$210 Calls – Range: 1.61-3.00 – Max Gain: 86%

Apple, Inc. AAPL – Recap

We submitted two separate options trading ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, the first of which being the AAPL Weekly $160-162.50 Calls. It’s beeen quite some time since we played with the AAPL chain, but it is the stock that originally brought us into the fold of options day and swing trading that we’ve adopted as one of our main functions.

It came as no surprise when the Fed announced no interest rate hike yesterday that the markets responded bullishly and allowed for some very nice multi-bag moves on our designated targets.

$160 Calls – Range: 2.14-6.32 – Max Gain: 195%
$162.50 Calls – Range: 1.05-4.19 – Max Gain: 299%

SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) – Recap 

Our second set of options ideas from yesterday were the SPY Weekly $264-265.50 Calls, and of course, those also fared well with the SPY being an excellent market analog, and another well that we revisit on a regular basis for short term options plays.

The gains on our highlighted contracts were even more impressive in this case, with each and every strike point returning potential gains ranging from 343-598% in a single session.

$264 Calls – Range: 1.07-4.74 – Max Gain: 343%
$264.50 Calls – Range: .82-4.03 – Max Gain: 385%
$265 Calls – Range: .59-3.50 – Max Gain: 493%
