Solid Options Plays, Fresh Targets

More Options Review:

Yesterday turned out to be a very fruitful session for us, with three out of the four potential options trading targets we mentioned in our premarket report yielding some good intraday opportunities. No one can win them all, but it’s come to the point where missing on any of our ideas is a relative rarity for us, as any of our regular readers can attest.

Yesterday’s winning items of interest included the BABA Weekly $93-95 Calls, the MKC 04/21 $75-80 Calls, and the PVH 04/21 $80-85 Calls, with the BABA Calls providing the clearest path to big time profits.Here’s the breakdown of yesterday’s activity in these plays:

Another Options Clean Sweep:

We made good on all three sets of options ideas we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report. Turning in a flawless sheet for the second straight day in a row. The markets dipped, which was good for our bearish targets, and there was at least an attempted recovery toward the second half of the session that provided some good intraday movement for our one bullish idea.

The targets in question were the KMX Weekly $54-52 Puts, the PAYX 01/20 $115-120 Calls, and the MU Weekly $50-48.50 Puts. and as will see below, the potential gains ranged in ascending order from nominal all the way up to excellent. Here’s how the day broke down for us:

 .65-.93 (+43%)
$53: .39-.55 (+41%)

A Clean Sweep on Options Plays:

We finally got the lead out yesterday, with some options trading ideas that were reliant upon the markets posting a solid session.

On the menu for Wednesday were the SPY 12/21 $381-383 Calls, the NKE Weekly $113-115 Calls, and the FDX Weekly $170-175 Calls. Here was the breakdown of the intraday moves and total possible gains that were there for the taking:

Kicking Off Another Short Trading Week

Options Play Review: 

Heading into the long weekend on Friday, we took just one stab at a set of potential quick-strike weekly targets. We went to the short side on Micron Technology and thanks in part to an early dip in the markets, that idea yielded a pretty good set of runners.

We were zeroed in on the MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts which produced the following multi-bag intraday runs for us:

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
$53.50: 
.66-2.06 (+212%)
$53: .43-1.65 (+284%)
$52: .20-.85 (+325%)

Additionally, we wanted to do a quick recap of a couple of the plays we signaled interest in earlier in the week. We flagged ideas in General Mills and McCormick in Wednesday morning’s report that finished out the week with strength and posted new highs. Our targets were the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which put up the following trading ranges and total possible gains between Wednesday and Friday.

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 1.69-5.90 (+249%)
$72.50: .75-3.50 (+367%)
_____

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-8.10 (+35%)
$85: 2.01-3.60 (+80%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)

KRTX 07/15 $125-130 Calls 


Gain Clients, Inc. GCLT – OTC Recap:

We also have a brief update on GCLT, an OTC stock we flagged in Friday morning’s extended watchlist. The made a very respectable intraday move, running from a low of .018 on up to a high of .0349. That works out to a single-session rip of 94% and that came on its second-highest daily volume ever recorded, with the previous session being the first.

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.
