Wrapping Up a Hot Trading Week, 4 New Plays

Thursday’s Runners Recap:

We fared quite well on Thursday with the various options plays we flagged for observation in our premarket report. Out of the five potential plays we highlighted, four of them recorded nothing but double-bag intraday gains or better. We even saw a few of those contract sets approach intraday upswings of nearly 500%

Those successful targets were the DG Weekly $142-146 Calls, the BURL Weekly $225-230 Calls, the BBY Weekly $75-77 Calls, and the PSTG Weekly $65-70 Calls. These were the caliber of gain opportunities that they provided on the day:

Midweek Updates, Trio of New Ideas

Midweek Options Recaps:  

We offered up a pair of short term and a pair of longer term ideas in our premarket report yesterday, and as is pretty typical, we saw some good movement out of the weekly plays, and not so much instant gratification from those that expire next month. We usually gravitate to those kind of ideas during earnings low periods, and we certainly have been short on big name reporters this week. But we’ll continue to monitor those interests into October, and keep trying to point out whatever looks best to us on a daily basis.

As for yesterday’s weekly plays, which were the CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls and the BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts, we observed the following intraday trading activity and gain potential:

CBRL Weekly $70-75 Calls
$70:
 3.00-4.20 (+40%)
$75: 1.09-2.66 (+144%)
_____

BUR Weekly $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50:
 1.63-1.93 (+18%)
$15: .05-.10 (+100%)


Fresh Options:
SMTC Weekly $22-23 Calls
SPY 09/14 $447-448 Calls
BABA Weekly $87-89 Calls
