Solid Start to the Week, 3 Possible Runners

Monday’s Movers:

We may not have kicked off another fresh trading week by sweeping the board as we would have liked, but we still managed two out of three good plays in our premarket report for the session on Monday. It can certainly be a bit of a challenge to maintain through these earnings droughts, when typically, trading on the heels of earnings reports is our main formula. We most often do seem to find quality opportunities nonetheless.

Yesterday’s two standout targets were the TIGR 10/18 $13-14 Calls, and the BABA Weekly $117-118 Calls. These were the intraday upswings they recorded for the day:

TIGR 10/18 $13-14 Calls
$13:
 1.40-2.45 (+75%)
$14: 1.15-2.10 (+83%)
_____

BABA Weekly $117-118 Calls
$117:
 2.82-4.50 (+60%)
$118: 2.58-4.15 (+61%)


Fresh Options Ideas:
NVDA Weekly $129-130 Calls
SPY 10/08 $568-569 Calls*
PEP Weekly $167.50 Puts

*Only experienced traders should attempt to trade contracts on their day of expiration

Options Review, 4 New Targets

Reviewing Tuesday’s Targets:

We had just a couple of fresh ideas on the table for our premarket report yesterday morning, and in both cases we met with solid results. We just crossed the threshold into the 4th Quarter of 2024 yesterday, and we are going through a period of fewer earnings reporters, as is common when a new quarter begins. We’ll just keep chopping wood, and bringing the best ideas we can in the meantime.

As for yesterday’s duo of possibilities, we were tracking the PAYX 10/18 $135 Calls, and the MKC 10/18 $80-85 Calls, and these were the associated intraday results:

PAYX 10/18 $135 Calls
$135:
 1.74-7.27 (+318%)
_____

MKC 10/18 $80-85 Calls
