Thunderous Thursday Runners, Fresh Ideas for Friday

Thursday’s Big Gainers:

We made waves in a big way yesterday, absolutely crushing all of of our daily options ideas. We finally had some big name earnings reporters to work with, and work they did! We chose a selection of five potential targets on the day, and not only did all five produce multi-bag gain chances across the board, but we had a couple of plays in there which easily exceeded the thousand-percent mark on gains!

Those fantastic plays were the DAL Weekly $36.50-37 Calls, the WBA Weekly $22.50-23 Calls, the FAST 10/20 $57.50-60 Calls, the SPY 10/12 $436-437 Calls, and the DPZ Weekly $350-345 Puts. The excellent moves they registered for the session were as follows:

Big Options Gainers, New Earnings Plays

Huge SPY Gains & More: 

Yesterday’s trading session was one of extremes. The markets gapped up before dipping early, and running into the Fed meeting, after which there was another precipitous drop-off followed by a late day run into the close. It was a choppy and exciting session, and that late rally pushed the SPY Calls we highlighted in our premarket report to some major league moves.

Those potential plays were the SPY 01/04 $382-383 Calls, and we got some decent intraday push from our other set of targets, the SGH 01/20 $15-17.50 Calls as well. Here were the intraday ranges and total possible gains to be had for both ideas, as well as some new highs on the PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls we’ve been on since December 20th:

SPY 01/04 $382-383 Calls
$382:
 .17-2.24 (+1218%)
$383: .04-.99 (+2375%)
_____

SGH 01/20 $15-17.50 Calls
$15: 1.05-1.55 (+48%)
$17.50: .15-.30 (+100%)
____

PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
$35: 1.03-2.79 (+171%)
$36: .72-2.11 (+193%)

It has been a constant flow of new highs since then, and yesterday, KALA reached an incredible 56.72, which works out to an increase of 845% over the lows from last week.

Double-Baggers Across the Board, Fresh Plays

SPY, TSLA Options Record Solid Moves: 

We kicked off the holiday-shortened week yesterday morning with a couple of off-the-cuff options ideas for the SPY and TSLA with no earnings reporters to spice things up on the day. Despite a decline in the markets for most of the session, our SPY Calls recorded some notable runs early on in the day, while TSLA turned out to be a really good short.

The particular targets that we selected for monitoring in our premarket report were the SPY 01/03 $383-384 Calls, and the TSLA Weekly $120-118 Puts. Two-for-two on the first trading day of the year sets a good tone for 2023, and leaves us with high hopes for another great year. Here were the gains that were there for the taking yesterday, all of which secured double-bag status:

SPY 01/03 $383-384 Calls
$383:
 .46-.94 (+104%)
$384: .28-.58 (+107%)
_____

TSLA Weekly $120-118 Puts
$120: 5.55-15.60 (+181%)
$119: 5.08-14.75 (+190%)
$118: 4.55-13.80 (+203%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 01/04 $382-383 Calls
SGH 01/20 $15-17.50 Calls


Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. JSPR – NASDAQ Recap:

We’ve been getting some lower-priced NASDAQ plays popping off of our daily watchlists with greater frequency, even during a time of year when the OTC tends to see more activity. Yesterday morning’s standout NASDAQ runner was JSPR, which shot up 138% as it ran from a daily low of 1.60, up as high as 3.80.

Yesterday’s Options Movers, Fresh Plays & More

Yesterday’s Options Results: 

Our perfect streak had to come to an end sooner or later, with one of our ideas from yesterday’s premarket report failing to produce instant opportunities. We didn’t see an immediate push from the August YETI Calls we signaled, but there is, of course, plenty of time before expiration for us to get the activity we’re looking for from them.

In the meantime, our other three selections proved to be solid ideas for the day, and three out of four is nothing to sneeze at! Those plays that yielded gratification were the WBA Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls, the DCT 07/15 $17.50-15 Puts and the SGH 07/15 $17.50 Calls, and here were the total possible profits which could have been reaped from those targets:

WBA Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls
$38.50:
 .52-1.13 (+117%)
$39: .45-.84 (+87%)
$39.50: .35-.59 (+69%)
_____

DCT 07/15 $17.50-15 Puts
$17.50: 
2.45-4.00 (+63%)
$15: .70-2.25 (+221%)
_____

SGH 07/15 $17.50 Calls 

$17.50: .15-.55 (+267%)


Fresh Options Idea
MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
NFLX 07/22 $185-190 Calls


haring Economy International Inc. SEII – OTC Recap:

Yesterday morning we noticed that SEII had been pressing upward on a considerable run, and included it in our extended watchlist. The stock continued its impressive push, trading in a range from .106 up to .142. The momentum built up in this stock is considerable, and we’ll certainly be watching for a continuation of same in the sessions to come on the other side of the long weekend.

Cautious Yet Bold Options Strategy Keeps Bearing Fruit

Yesterday’s Options Success: 

It seems like the winds of fortune have been gusting in our favor for quite some time now, with the options targets we outlined in yesterday’s morning report all producing gain opportunities on some level. That makes for the fourth straight session in which every single one of our interests has given traders a shot as compounding their funds.

Our daily focus was trained on the AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts, the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls, and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which all put forth some measure of intraday run in what amounted to a bit of a choppy day for the markets as a whole. Things in that regard have become rather harder to predict, but we’ve been trying very hard to select potential plays with a good risk/reward balance. Here’s where our efforts led yesterday:

AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts
$75: 
2.49-4.49 (+80%)
$70: 1.29-2.20 (+71%)
_____

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 
2.50-5.10 (+104%)
$72.50: 1.05-3.07 (+192%)
_____

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-7.20 (+20%)
$85: 2.01-3.37 (+68%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
YETI 08/05 $46-47 Calls
WBA Weekly $38.50-39.50 Calls
DCT 07/15 $17.50-15 Puts
SGH 07/15 $17.50 Calls
