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.

KMX Weekly $69-70 Calls

 2.07-4.74 (+129%)

Good Start to the Trading Week, New Plays

Solid Start to the Week: 

We got off on a good foot for Monday’s premarket report, despite a real lack of big name earnings reporters. The only two potential plays that really jumped out to us yesterday did, however, post some nice double bag moves for us on the session.

We had signaled our interest in tracking the ARLP 02/17 $22.50-25 Calls, and the GEHC Weekly $70-68.50 Puts, and we got some very nice movement from each set of ideas on the day. Today’s earnings plays deal with some much bigger names, so our week should continue along an interesting trajectory. Here’s the breakdown of the gains that were possible through yesterday’s targets:

ARLP 02/17 $22.50-25 Calls
$28:
 .48-1.05 (+119%)
$27: .10-.20 (+100%)
_____

GEHC Weekly $70-68.50 Puts 

$70: .30-.60 (+100%)
