Off to a Good Start in 2024

Solid Start to the New Year:

We fared reasonably well in our first trading session of 2024 yesterday, despite having no earnings reports to inspire our options candidates of the day. We expect things on that front to be similarly dry moving forward, with few big-name reporters slated to drop figures in the first couple weeks of this new year. As always, we’ll still do everything we can to find other opportunities in the meantime.

As for yesterday’s ideas, here were the daily performance numbers on the four potential plays in our premarket report, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, the AMD Weekly $145-144 Puts, and the VYGR 11/19 $10-12.50 Calls:

Ending a Successful Trading Week, 4 New Targets

Thursday’s Movers:

Unfortunately we have to open up today’s report with a mea culpa, and apologize for any confusion there may have been with yesterday’s newsletter. We meant to signal the PSTG Weekly $33-32 Puts, but ended up sending out at typo “PTG”. Had we successfully communicated that idea, it would have worked out well, but we’ll gloss over that one today, and just report on our other three ideas, all of which produced gain opportunities.

We had the CRM Weekly $245-250 Calls, the SNOW Weekly $187.50-192.50 Calls, and the NTNX 12/15 $45-47.50 Calls, and here are the intraday performances they recorded, along with the total possible profits that could have been achieved on a perfect trade:

CRM Weekly $245-250 Calls
$245: 1.83-7.04 (+285%)
$247.50: .96-4.89 (+409%)
$250: .48-3.10 (+545%)

_____

NTNX 12/15 $45-47.50 Calls
$45: 1.40-2.73 (+95%)
(Data on 47.50’s wouldn’t pull up, but gains would
have been roughly commensurate with the 45’s)

PATH Weekly $22.50-23.50 Calls*
MRVL Weekly $55-53 Puts*
ULTA Weekly $465-475 Calls*
