Big Name Earnings Plays & More

Options Reviews:

Things got off to a pretty lackluster start to the week yesterday. While both of our selected options ideas in our premarket report did record positive intraday movement, the level of the gains they achieved didn’t really rise to our particularly high standards. Today should be a lot more exciting, with a much more interesting crop of earnings reporters.

Yesterday’s targets were the PHG 05/19 $22.50 Calls, and the KO Weekly $65 Calls, and the daily moves they made are as follows. We also have an update on the NTLA 05/19 $35-40 Calls, which we put on our radar back on the 10th, and subsequently made a really nice move.

Thursday’s Runners, Fresh Plays

Recapping Thursday’s Winners:

We’re ready to jump back into the swing of things here on this Monday morning, but first, we’ll backtrack to the end of the short trading week on Thursday and take a look at what our daily interests were able to accomplish. In our premarket report, we had signaled a group of four ideas that we felt had reasonable potential for the session, and fared pretty well in each case.

Our targets were the STZ Weekly $220-225 Calls, the LEVI 04/21 $18 Puts, the LW 04/21 $105 Calls, and the BA 05/05 $220-210 Puts, and with the exception of the BA $220’s which were too far in the money to see a good move, every one of our tracked contract sets recorded a nice intraday run. Here’s the breakdown of those figures:

STZ Weekly $220-225 Calls
$220:
 4.64-6.50 (+40%)
$222.50: 2.90-5.50 (+90%)
$225: 3.24-6.30 (+94%)
_____

LEVI 04/21 $18 Puts
$18:
 1.52-2.95 (+94%)
_____

LW 04/21 $105 Calls
$105:
 2.00-5.32 (+166%)
_____

BA 05/05 $220-210 Puts

BEKE Review, 4 Fresh Options Plays

BEKE Recap:

With both of the options plays we signaled for observation yesterday morning being of the longer-term variety, we don’t have any immediate turnaround to report on those. However we do have an update on another longer-term options strike that we’ve been watching.

We highlighted the BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls a little under three weeks ago on the morning of the 23rd, and as we’ve cruised through this trading week en route to their expiration today, we’ve seen these plays make some very respectable moves, even as the landscape for options trading continues to taper as we head through another dry period for reporters.

BEKE 09/16 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 
1.41-3.65 (+70%)
$17.50: .50-1.45 (+191%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 09/16 $387-384 Puts*
FAST 10/21 $47.50-50 Calls
NTLA Weekly $70-65 Puts*
ADBE Weekly $305-300 Puts*

*Please don’t try to trade options on their day of expiration unless you are a well-seasoned trader. Not something for you beginners to attempt just yet, but we’ll get you there! 


Nu-Med Plus Inc. NUMD – Recap:

For a more recent rehash, we just signaled NUMD as a potential OTC runner in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock responded with quite the solid session. From a daily low of .028 the stock ripped all the way up to a high of .0605, which works out to an intraday pop on the order of a very respectable 116%
