4 Fresh Ideas for a New Trading Week

Friday Options Recap:

It was a little bit of a subdued finish to what was an otherwise fairly exciting week of trading on Friday. We had a limited slate of earnings reporters on the day, but still formed a few ideas that managed to make some early moves. The percentage gains weren’t quite on a level that would get us overexcited, but all contracts involved did make reasonable moves, with one lone exception.

Those ideas that we were tracking were the SPB 05/19 $65-70 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, and the SPY 05/12 $412.50-413 Calls. Here’s how their early positive movement played out in terms of total possible gains for quick traders:

SPB 05/19 $65-70 Calls 
$70: .83-1.69 (+104%)

TSLA Weekly $175-177.50 Calls
$175:

We’ve also been tracking the IFF 05/19 $95-90 Puts since our report from this past Tuesday the 9th, and IFF continued to decline all week, leading to some really nice new highs in those targets:
 
IFF 05/19 $95-90 Puts

Perfect Start to the Week, New Options Ideas

Flawless Options Trading Session:

We were interested in four different options trading ideas that we placed on watch in our premarket report yesterday morning, and we were very pleased with the results we met with, having all four sets of calls produce some type of intraday movement for us. We love a good clean sweep, and as our regular readers can attest, it’s not a rare occurrence for us.

Our focal points for the session were the KMX Weekly $69-70 Calls, the NKE Weekly $121 Calls, the PSMT 04/21 $75 Calls, and the ASO 04/21 $65 Calls. The potential gains we saw varied wildly, from a modest 24-percenter on up to a mammoth 445-percenter. Here’s the rundown of the activity they presented on the day.

AMTX Recap, Options Ideas & More

Starting the Week Off with Strength: 

To kick off a new trading week yesterday morning, we posted a trio of fresh options ideas and for the most part we met with instant success. There were only two sets of contracts out of the nine we designated that didn’t post excellent moves on the session.

We had an updated set from DKNG which carried over from a solid performance for the stock last week, some daily calls in the SPY, and a post-earnings target with NRG. Here are the big winners and the total gains that were possible for anyone who caught our alerts:

DKNG Weekly $62-63 Calls.
$62: 2.58-7.10 (+175%)
$63: 2.21-6.20 (+180%)
_____

SPY 03/01 $383-385 Calls 
$383: 2.89-7.83 (+171%)
$384: 2.01-6.87 (+242%)
$58: 1.55-5.89 (+280%)
_____

NRG Weekly $39-40.50 Calls
$39: 1.76-3.80 (+116%)
$39.50: 1.80-3.20 (+78%)
_____

Fresh Earnings Plays: 
ZM Weekly $430-440 Calls
TGT Weekly $185-187.50 Calls 


Aemetis, Inc. AMTX

We also want to swing back around for AMTX, a stock we began tracking just five weeks ago on the morning of January 25th. Its performance was subdued for the first part of last month, but the leaps and bounds it has made into blue skies since then have been so impressive that we had to rehash it for you this morning.

From its low of 6.08 subsequent to our alert, AMTX has made a fantastic run up to a new high of 16.39 yesterday. That marked an upswing of 170% and it came thanks to the company’s revelation of a new 5-year growth plan, during which time it believes it can reach revenues of over a billion dollars.
