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!

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%)

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%)

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.
