HEICO Corporation HEI – Options Update:

This week has lived up to the stereotype of a typical holiday trading week between Christmas and the New Year. No one is reporting earnings, not much has been going on, and the opportunities have been much fewer and further between. Today we do have an update on a set of options contracts that we alerted on Tuesday of last week.

We signaled interest in the HEI 01/20 $150 Calls, and they have made a modest but respectable move for us over that time span.

HEI 01/20 $150 Calls
$150:
 3.70-7.50 (+103%)

CALM 01/20 $60-57.50 Puts


Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. KALA – Recap:

We had placed KALA on watch via yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. Our EW’s often consist of a mix of big board and OTC stocks. In this case, KALA trades on the upper exchange, and yet still managed to explode off of our list with a single-session multibag run yesterday. The stock ran from a low of 6.00 yesterday and has now touched 19.73 in premarket trading today, marking a total rise of 229%

Continued Options Excellence, Fresh Plays

A Perfect Wednesday:

We got right back into the groove of perfect options plays on Wednesday, with our premarket report for the day containing no less than five fresh ideas for our readers’ consideration. Despite a choppy day from the markets in general, we were able to see some pretty nice gain chances in our targeted contracts all the same.

Those movers were the OLLI 12/16 $55-52.50 Puts, the THO 12/16 $85-90 Calls, the CPB Weekly $53-55 Calls, the LOVE 12/16 $25-22.50 Puts and the SPY 12/07 $393-392 Puts. As we said, we may have cast a wide net here, but it wouldn’t have mattered which way you angled because there were plenty of big fish to land! In the case of the SPY’s, one could have increased their position more than TEN-FOLD! Here’s a breakdown of the sorts of intraday gains that were on the table:

OLLI 12/16 $55-52.50 Puts
