SMAR Options Review, Fresh Ideas

Smartsheet, Inc. SMAR – Options Review:

First off, we’d just like to apologize for the lack of a premarket report on Friday. An untimely power outage prevented us from getting anything out to readers in time for the market open. In the past dozen years, we have missed maybe five trading days, if that, so it’s not something one should expect to see repeated anytime soon.

In the meantime, we did see some new highs in the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls prior to their expiration at week’s end, which we wanted to report back on today before kicking off a fresh trading week. We have been tracking these calls since December 2nd, and here are the figures and total possible profits we witnessed over that span of roughly two weeks:

SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls
$35: 1.55-7.50 (+384%)
$40: .34-2.65 (+679%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
SHOP 01/06 $36.50-37.50 Calls
AAPL 01/06 $139-141 Calls 


OTC Recaps:

We’ve also got a couple of quick updates on the recent performance of a couple of the OTC plays we’ve tagged in our extended watchlists. When we left off on Thursday, we had been tracking both of these stocks for a week.

Options Calls Buck the Trend, Fresh Ideas & More

Options Trading Recaps: 

The markets took a sour turn for yesterday’s session, but that didn’t stop us from cleaning up on our options plays once again. We set up three pins, and bowled them all over for some really nice gain opportunities on the day.

Like always, we’ll list the daily ranges, and total possible profits to be had, below.

3.80-13.60 (+258%)
$425: 3.00-11.02 (+267%)

New Options Ideas

FireEye, Inc. FEYE – Options Ideas

The first earnings play to catch our eye this morning is based off of the beat just posted by FEYE during aftermarket hours yesterday. The company’s earnings rose to a record high, and its Q2 revenues also registered as an all time quarterly high.

As a result, FEYE is looking attractive to us on a short and longer term basis. Accordingly, we are going to begin tracking a couple of different sets of ideas for the FEYE chain, the FEYE Weekly $14-15 Calls & 08/14 $15.50-16 Calls



More Options Ideas

The earnings calendar is jam packed once again, and here are a couple of the other big name reporters that are gaining our attention here in the premarket. Stocks in general are rising today in advance of the 2PM Fed Meeting.
