Fresh Options Plays, Updates

Options Review:

We’ve been all over the SPY lately, playing it both short and long over the past week with great success each time. Yesterday morning we signaled some fresh bullish targets for the dailies, and were met with multibag runs on the session.

We were after the SPY 01/12 $470-472 Calls, and thanks to a gap-and-go right out of the starting gate, we got the following opportunities:

SPY 01/12 $470-472 Calls
$470: .95-2.17 (+128%)
$471: .59-1.51 (+156%)
$472: .34-.98 (+188%)

We also had a trio of other fresh plays, of which two produced instant results- the INFY 01/21 $25-26 Calls and the AMBA Weekly $157.50-162.50 Calls. We also signaled a longer-term play in some February calls on NFLX, but we’ll circle back around to those in an upcoming report. For now, these are the intraday moves posted by the INFY and AMBA targets:

INFY 01/21 $25-26 Calls
$25: 
.53-1.45 (+174%)
$26: .20-.64 (+220%)

AMBA Weekly $157.50-162.50 Calls
$157.50: 8.49-14.10 (+66%)
$160: 3.50-5.20 (+49%)
$162.50: 2.45-4.01 (+64%)

PPHM, Bottom-Play List & Extended Watchlist

Peregrine Pharmaceuticals, Inc. PPHM

PPHM has been one heck of a play in the month and a half that we’ve been following its activity. We saw yesterday’s large gap-down as an opportunity to play a possible bounce, and indeed we were correct. The stock traded as low as .73 pre-market, with trades going off at .80 at the open. The stock then bounced back to 1.57, awarding those savvy enough to play the bounce a quick gain that nearly reached triple digits. PPHM’s ability to pad our pockets is why we want to continue to monitor the stock moving forward.

Possible Bottom Plays

Today we thought we’d scan for stocks that are at or near their 52-wk lows, in an effort to root out some nice bottom play opportunities.
