2024 Off to a Sweet Start, 3 Fresh Ideas

A Fantastic First Trading Week:

We were very pleased with the way things played out on Friday, after having hit on every possible trading idea we had offered up all week, we laid down four more targets in our premarket report and pinged every one of them. It’s a heck of a way to kick off 2024, and we’re excited about the chance to continuously make it a great year. As always, we welcome our new followers, and salute our long time audience!

Friday’s items of interest were the STZ Weekly $242.50-245 Calls, the GBX 01/19 $45-50 Calls, the ANGO 01/19 $7.50-5.00 Puts, and the CRM 01/19 $250-245 Puts. Here were the solid, and, in some cases, quite impressive upswings that we observed during the session:

Off to a Good Start in 2024

Solid Start to the New Year:

We fared reasonably well in our first trading session of 2024 yesterday, despite having no earnings reports to inspire our options candidates of the day. We expect things on that front to be similarly dry moving forward, with few big-name reporters slated to drop figures in the first couple weeks of this new year. As always, we’ll still do everything we can to find other opportunities in the meantime.

As for yesterday’s ideas, here were the daily performance numbers on the four potential plays in our premarket report, the MARA Weekly $26-27 Calls, the COIN Weekly $175-177.50 Calls, the AMD Weekly $145-144 Puts, and the VYGR 11/19 $10-12.50 Calls:

Flawless Friday Recap, 4 New Plays

Friday’s Forceful Finish:  

We really did a great job of closing out a nearly perfect trading week with another straight sweep of all of our fresh trading ideas for Friday’s premarket report.

Everything worked, producing positive intraday runs across the board.
