Friday’s Rippers, 3 New Ideas

Fantastic Friday Finish:

Things really could not have gone much better for us on Friday to close out the short trading week. We had highlighted potential options plays in three chains and got awfully good results from each of the posted ideas in our premarket report for the day. Our 2024 calendar year has been exceptional thus far, with very nearly everything we touch turning to potential gold.

The ideas that we had hashed out for Friday’s session were the SPY 01/19 $478-480 Calls, the TRV Weekly $200-210 Calls, and the SLB Weekly $48-49 Calls, and here were the intraday upswings each of those contract sets recorded on the day:

SPY 01/19 $478-480 Calls
$478:
 .63-4.71 (+648%)
$479: .33-3.78 (+1045%)
$480: .15-2.83 (+1787%)
_____

TRV Weekly $200-210 Calls
$200: 6.96-11.80 (+69%)
$210: .05-1.90 (+3700%)
_____

SLB Weekly $48-49 Calls
$48: 1.13-2.43 (+115%)
$48.50: .76-1.81 (+138%)
$97: .46-1.36 (+195%)

We also have an update for the longer-term SAVE Calls that we initially highlighted as a possible recovery play in our report this past Wednesday morning. Essentially the stock performed exactly as we said we believed it would, coming down a little lower before bouncing back, and giving us the kind of gains we were looking for. We might have expected it to take slightly longer than it did, but our vision came to fruition by the end of what was a really great short trading week.

SAVE 02/16 $5.00-7.50 Calls
$5.00: .68-2.60 (+282%)
$7.50: .25-1.46 (+484%)


Fresh Options Ideas: 

Without any interesting earnings reporters dropping figures this morning, we’re just going to go with a potential play on the SPY, and then we’ve identified a couple of longer-term potential plays to keep an eye on in the days and weeks ahead.

SPY 01/22 $482-483 Calls*
PBF 02/16 $43-44 Calls
NNI 02/16 $85-90 Calls

Friday Recaps, Fresh Plays For Monday

Friday’s Options Review: 

We offered up a mixed bag of possible options trading ideas on Friday, with most of them falling under the bearish category. The markets provided impetus in both directions, and that provided us with the volatility needed to see some very nice gain opportunities. The only targets that went the wrong way on us were our AAPL Puts, but the impressive new highs in the three AI sets we were tracking last week made up the difference, and then some.

Our runners from Friday’s report were the QCOM Weekly $135-134 Puts, the AMZN Weekly $110-108 Puts, and the GILD Weekly $84-85 Calls. Our tracked ideas on AI were the AI Weekly $20-20.50 & $22 Calls, from our reports on the 1st and the 2nd, respectively) and those posted some really good new highs in addition to the stock itself making a solid move up. Here’s how things broke down for us on Friday:

 .08-.67 (+737%)
