Wednesday’s Winners, 5 Fresh Options Ideas

Wednesday’s Winners:

For yesterday morning’s premarket report, we lofted possible targets in five separate options chains, and got back some mixed, but ultimately good results. Things have been a little light on the big name earnings front recently, but we’ve found some good opportunities elsewhere. We should start to see a ton more chances at earnings plays toward the end of the month, and until then we’ll continue to get creative when choosing our daily items of interest.

Our fresh ideas for the day on Wednesday were the NVDA Weekly $532.50-537.50 Calls, the WDFC 01/19 $250 Calls, the AEHR 01/19 $20 Puts, the SGH 01/19 $20 Calls, and the W 01/26 $55 Calls. With the expiration a little farther out on those W Calls, we’ll have to come back to those at a later date, but the rest of our plays we’re pretty good. Here were the intraday moves and total possible gains that they recorded:

NVDA Weekly $532.50-537.50 Calls
$532.50:
 8.60-16.00 (+86%)
$535: 7.13-14.00 (+96%)

Tuesday’s Top Up-Tickers, 5 New Possibilities

Tuesday’s Options Updates:

We finally ran into a hitch for the first time this year yesterday, with one of the three potential options plays we laid out in our morning report failing to produce instant results. Our BOX 01/19 $25 Calls may need some more time to produce a sizable upswing, but the other two targets certainly worked out for us on the day.

Those plays were the MSM Weekly $90 Puts, and the AYI 01/19 $210-220 Calls, and below you’ll find the intraday moves on those, as well as another update on the CYTK 01/19 $70 Calls which we’ve been tracking since December 29th, after they recorded an impressive new high this week. It’s a good example of how some of our longer-term ideas can take slightly longer to come to full fruition.

MSM Weekly $90 Puts
$90:
 .20-.65 (+225%)

AYI 01/19 $210-220 Calls
$210: 7.50-18.56 (+147%)
$220: 2.35-9.00(+283%)

Tuesday’s Perfect Performance, Fresh Plays

A Perfect Day for Options:

After an admittedly disappointing outing on Monday, we bounced back yesterday morning with a vengeance. We gathered ourselves quickly and issued four new potential trading ideas in our premarket report, and were not displeased with the results. We got right back to our winning ways, as all four of our designated targets recorded nice intraday moves for us.

Our new interests were the SPY 07/11 $439-441 Calls, the INTU Weekly $460-465 Calls, the WDFC 07/21 $200-210 Calls, and the PSMT 07/21 $75 Puts. The gain chances they afforded us ranged from pretty darn good, to astounding, as you can see below:

SPY 07/11 $439-441 Calls
$439: 
1.06-3.83 (+261%)
$440: .56-2.95 (+426%)
