Closing Out a Great Week with Strength

Thursday Options Recap:

We have been rolling right along on the options front this week, coming up with four sets of winning ideas in each of last three consecutive sessions. In our premarket report for Thursday morning, we provided readers with a varied set of potential targets to watch, and once again, all four yielded intraday gain opportunities. We are very proud to be able to come up with good ideas on a daily basis for our readers the vast majority of the time, and we certainly upheld that standard this week.

We were focused on the GIII 12/16 $17.50-15 Puts, the DG Weekly $245-240 Puts, the SPLK Weekly $83-85 Calls, and the SNPS Weekly $360-370 Calls. The markets as a whole experienced somewhat of a choppy session, but our items of interest produced the following intraday runs and profit chances:

Winning Options Plays, 4 Fresh Ideas

Options Reviews:

Despite only having a single earnings reporter yesterday morning off of which we could base an options idea, we managed to turn up some pretty good opportunities including a couple multi-bag gain chances.

That lone fresh play was for the PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls, and they did post some nice intraday moves. In addition, we have a couple of updates on some longer term calls that we signaled in reports from last week. For the CAT 11/04 $180-185 Calls, we alerted these calls on last Wednesday the 5th, while the UNFI 11/18 $35 Calls were an idea we formulated on September 30th. Both have performed rather nicely, and give a good example of why we like to include a mix of quick-strike plays with longer-term ideas.

PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls 
$162.50: 4.55-8.10 (+78%)
$165: 2.77-6.02 (+117%)
$167.50: 1.40-4.05 (+189%)

BLK Weekly $515-505 Puts 


Meta Materials, Inc. MMTLP – OTC Recap: 

We had just marked MMTLP as an OTC worth tracking in yesterday morning’s extended watchlist, and the stock recorded a very nice intraday move for us, running from a low of 3.80 up to a high of 6.90. That represents an intraday rally of 82%

Keeping the Options Train Rolling

Big Name Earners Yield Solid Gains:

It was a big day for options plays on Friday, when we put forth a full slate of potential earnings-related ideas in our premarket report. With the exception of some longer-term targets expiring next month, all four of our short range formulations made some serious moves for us on the day.

Our designated areas of interest for Friday were the AXP Weekly $155-157.50 Calls, the SLB Weekly $34-35 Calls, the SNAP Weekly $13-11.50 Puts, and the VZ Weekly $47-45.50 Puts. It was great way to cap off an immensely exciting trading week, and a continuation of the routinely successful run of plays that we always seem to root out for our morning newsletter which, in our opinion, is the best no-nonsense, totally free source of options daytrading insights and ideas on the planet.

Here were the excellent opportunities Friday’s ventures brought to us:
