Good Start to the Week, 5 New Ideas

Good Start to the Week:  

We had just a pair of fresh options possibilities in yesterday morning’s premarket report, but we managed to see some decent moves out of those. Today’s slate of potential plays will be a lot beefier, with a mix of technical setup ideas as well as a handful of big name earnings reporters.

As for yesterday’s movers, we had the TSLA Weekly $245-242.50 Puts and the NVDA Weekly $420-410 Puts on our radar and these were the numbers they put up on the session:

Tuesday’s Movers, Today’s Earnings Plays

Tuesday’s Runners:

We fared rather well with our fresh options idea for yesterday morning’s premarket report, scoring big with two out of our three listed targets. The gains were relatively nominal as compared to some of the big multi-baggers we’re accustomed to, but four out of the six total contracts in question did at least reach double-bag status.

Those plays were the PYPL Weekly $73-70 Puts, and the IFF 05/19 $95-90 Puts, and here were the kinds of intraday runs they recorded on the session:

Options Review, Bearish on New Plays

BAC, SYF Options Review: 

We made good on both of the short-term options trading ideas we issued in yesterday morning’s premarket report. with our long -term play needing some more time to mature. We typically steer clear of banks, but occasionally we will take a shot following an earnings drop and we did so successfully with Bank of America.

We were zeroed in on the BAC Weekly $36.50-37.50 Calls, as well as the SYF Weekly $37-39 Calls, which also produced significant intraday gain opportunities for us on the day. The daily ranges and total possible profits off of those ideas were as follows:

BAC Weekly $36.50-37.50 Calls 

$36.50: 1.18-2.86 (+142%)
$37: .84-2.35 (+179%)
$37.50: .56-1.90 (+239%)
