Muted Start to the Week, Fresh Ideas

Monday’s Options Recap:

The markets got off to a rough start yesterday, and that did negatively impact the scope of our options success with the plays we were monitoring, especially considering they were targets January expirations. We may yet see those rise to the occasion, but for now, our one quick-strike idea from yesterday’s premarket report did make a significant intraday move.

The SPY typically provides a lot of good intraday volatility for us, and is quite often good for solid intraday gains when timed properly. Our actual targets for yesterday were the SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls, and these were the largest intraday swings we witnessed:

SPY 12/19 $383-384 Calls
$383: .65-1.45 (+123%)
$384: .38-.90 (+137%)

Fresh Options Ideas:
GIS 01/20 $85-80 Puts
PLAY 01/20 $35-36 Calls
HEI 01/20 $150 Calls

OTC Recaps:

We had another couple of plays that performed well off of yesterday’s extended watchlist. Especially on slow days for options, monitoring these daily selections of mainly OTC stocks has often proved to be a good alternative use of our time.

Starry Group Holding, Inc. STRY
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .01-.035 (+250%)

Premier Biomedical Inc. BIEI
Alerted: December 19th
Range: .0031-.0046 (+48%)

We hope everyone enjoyed the holiday break, however you chose to spend it! We’re thankful for our long history of successful trading ideas, and for you, the readers! As we gear up for today’s half session we are, of course, going to kick things off with a rundown of the plays we alerted in our premarket report on Wednesday morning.
