Options Recaps, 5 Fresh Ideas to End the Week

Thursday’s Options Winners:

Our streak of perfection sadly came to an end yesterday, but we’re still very proud of the accuracy we were able to achieve for seven straight days. We still hit on the majority of yesterday’s selections, however, and that’s the real takeaway here. While no one can be perfect all of the time, we strive to come as close as humanly possible, and typically do a very good job at that. We wok hard every day to bring our readers what we feel are some of the choicest opportunities to turn a quick profit on a daily basis.

Yesterday’s movers were the BUD Weekly $63-64 Calls, the SHEL Weekly $59-60 Calls, and the SHOP Weekly $53-55 Calls, and the intraday runs they exhibited were quite good. Here’s the breakdown on their activity for the day:

7-Day Win Streak, Fresh Plays

Another Perfect Run:

We offered up a mixed bag in terms of bears and bulls on our list of fresh options ideas from yesterday morning’s premarket report, and the session for the markets as a whole experienced a similar kind of day. That helped out with generating the kind of volatile activity that can be a boon to day traders. Once again, we swept the board with all of our daily options targets, which goes down in the books as our 7TH consecutive trading day without a single flat prospect.

Yesterday’s ideas were the CVS Weekly $73-71 Puts, the EL 05/19 $220-210 Puts and the KHC Weekly $40-41 Calls. The KHC Calls were definitely the big standouts for the day, but there were some really nice moves in the other plays as well. Here’s how it all shook out for the session:

CVS Weekly $73-71 Puts
$73:
 1.85-3.55 (+92%)
$72: 1.30-2.54 (+95%)
