Friday Recap, Fresh Options Ideas

Friday’s Movers:

We got along quite well as we closed out the short trading week on Friday with a slate of four possible options plays, and saw gains ranging from good to great in three of those four targets. The markets got off to a bullish start, and after lunch hour, reversed track and fell into the close. That provided plenty of intraday activity to facilitate some very nice upswings in our daily targets.

We had the BABA Weekly $85-87 Calls, the RIVN Weekly $21.50-22.50 Calls, and the LEVI 07/21 $14-13 Puts all come through with the following intraday runs:

BABA Weekly $85-87 Calls
$85:
 1.60-6.50 (+306%)
$86: .99-5.50 (+456%)
$87: .57-4.55 (+698%)

Wrapping Up the Short Trading Week with New Ideas

Options Reviews:

In an extremely rare occurrence, neither of the targets we were looking at in yesterday’s report turned in worthwhile performances on the day. We really can’t recall the last time that happened, if ever, but as we always say, nobody can win them all. Instead of reviewing those, we have updates on a handful of longer term plays that we’ve recently flagged.

We initially selected the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls in our report on June 21st, the KBH 07/21 $50 Puts in the following day’s report, and the PAYX 07/21 $110-115 Calls on the morning of June 29th. Here are the figures on the upswings and new highs we’ve seen from these plays this week.

PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls
$31: .15-2.35 (+1467%)
$32: .10-1.50 (+1400%)
$33: .15-.85 (+467%)

KBH 07/21 $50 Puts
$50: .08-2.05 (+2462%)

PAYX 07/21 $110-115 Calls
$110:
 1.76-4.40 (+150%)

A Winning Wednesday, 5 New Ideas

Winning Wednesday:

We kept things moving along swimmingly on Wednesday with regard to the options ideas in our premarket report for the day. We put in a pretty good mix of short-term and longer-term ideas, as well as bears and bulls. Three out of our four interests produced instant results, and the fourth (IHF) we’ll put on the back burner, as we feel it will still produce the activity we’re looking for in the days and weeks ahead.

Our hot hands for the day were our other targets, which were the FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts, the WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts, and the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls. From those we got several chances for multi-bag profits on the session, and those moves were as follows:

FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts
$230:
 1.91-6.29 (+229%)
$227.50: 1.17-4.25 (+263%)
$225: .63-2.56 (+306%)
