Big Moves Thursday, 6-Pack of Fresh Plays

Wrapping Up a Great Trading Week:

This has been one heck of an options trading week for us. With plenty of earnings reporters to take advantage of, we have been knocking homers out of the park daily, and yesterday was no exception. We floated five potential plays in our premarket report, and the four with their expiration set for today produced big intraday moves. We’ll also have a nice big slate with both quick-strike, and longer-term interests for today, so it should be an interest close to a fantastic trading week.

Yesterday’s movers and shakers were the META Weekly $290-285 Puts, the IBM Weekly $137-139 Calls, the NOW Weekly $547.50-555 Calls, and the BMY Weekly $55-53 Puts, and here were the types of intraday moves they made, and the total possible gains those presented:

A Five-Pack of Fresh Trading Ideas

Solid Start to the Trading Week: 

We got this short week off to a good start yesterday morning as we alerted on four potential options plays, and considering our recent track record, it came as very little surprise to see some very nice intraday gain opportunities in all of them. We had earnings in the financial sector and some good premarket movement on TSLA, and the ideas we generated off of that led to some sizable runs in our designated targets.

Those interests were the GS Weekly $370-365 Puts, the SBNY Weekly $120 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $123-125 Calls, and the MARA Weekly $8.00-8.50 Calls. As we’re seeing TSLA gapping up again this morning in the premarket, we’re likely to see the gains on those contracts extended, and we’ll also go ahead and roll up to include some higher strikes with our fresh ideas for today. First, here’s the breakdown from yesterday’s activity:

GS Weekly $370-365 Puts
$370: 6.00-25.75 (+329%)
$367.50: 4.55-23.00 (+405%)
$365: 3.30-26.65 (+707%)
_____

SBNY Weekly $120 Calls
$120: 7.60-9.40 (+24%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $123-125 Calls
$123: 5.00-9.50 (+90%)

$125: 3.90-7.92 (+103%)
_____

MARA Weekly $8.00-8.50 Calls

SMAR Options Review, Fresh Ideas

Smartsheet, Inc. SMAR – Options Review:

First off, we’d just like to apologize for the lack of a premarket report on Friday. An untimely power outage prevented us from getting anything out to readers in time for the market open. In the past dozen years, we have missed maybe five trading days, if that, so it’s not something one should expect to see repeated anytime soon.

In the meantime, we did see some new highs in the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls prior to their expiration at week’s end, which we wanted to report back on today before kicking off a fresh trading week. We have been tracking these calls since December 2nd, and here are the figures and total possible profits we witnessed over that span of roughly two weeks:

SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls
$35: 1.55-7.50 (+384%)
$40: .34-2.65 (+679%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
SHOP 01/06 $36.50-37.50 Calls
AAPL 01/06 $139-141 Calls 

OTC Recaps:

We’ve also got a couple of quick updates on the recent performance of a couple of the OTC plays we’ve tagged in our extended watchlists. When we left off on Thursday, we had been tracking both of these stocks for a week.
