Reviewing Friday’s Winners, Fresh Plays

Recapping Friday’s Runners: 

As our regular readers should know, we focus a lot on quick-strike trading ideas for the SPY, and in typical fashion, we played the SPY successfully quite a bit last week. We hashed out some fresh single-session ideas for it on Friday morning in our premarket report, along with some calls for this week in the WDFC chain.

Both of those sets of targets produced solid results on the day with help from the bullish market performance, which peaked shortly after midday. We were able to observe some multi-bag runs in our SPY calls, and some more modest yet still solid moves from the WD-40 Company.

Those trading ranges and total possible gains were as follows: 

SPY 04/08 $448-449 Calls
$448:
 .74-2.90 (+67%)
$449: .50-2.10 (+312%)
_____

WDFC 04/14 $190-200 Calls
$190: 6.65-10.60 (+60%)
$195: 4.11-7.00 (+67%)
$200: 1.51-4.40 (+312%)

1812 Brewing Company, Inc. KEGS – News Update:

We also have got another PR update on KEGS this morning, focusing on the execution of the next phase of its plan to clean up the share structure of the company. Last week we passed along the report that KEGS would be undergoing a large reduction in its authorized shares, and this morning, we see that the CEO will be retiring a half a billion common shares from his own holdings.

It’s refreshing to see a company that is so committed to creating shareholder value, and a more attractive prospect for new investors as well. KEGS is on the right track toward marked improvement, and we’ll be along for the ride, monitoring the situation as it continues to unfold.

Watertown, NY, April 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 1812 BREWING COMPANY, INC. (OTC Pink: KEGS) (the “Company”) announced that it has agreed to cancel five hundred million (500,000,000) common stock shares held by its CEO, Tom Scozzafava.  Further, the CEO stated that he could retire or exchanging as many shares that he owns to help increase overall shareholder value regardless.  “My interest is in the long-term viability and growth of the Company, and I am committed to doing what is in the interest of just that.” (>>View Full PR)

We offered up a good mix of options ideas in yesterday morning’s premarket report, most of which worked out for us.

We were looking at the CAG 04/08 $35-33 Puts, the STZ 04/08 $237.50-232.50 Puts, and the LW 04/15 $60 Calls. and got some pretty good intraday movement there.

WD-40 Company WDFC – Options Update:  

As we close out this holiday-shortened week, we’ll start off by giving an update on the options idea we put forth in yesterday morning’s premarket report. We were looking at the WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls on the heels of the company’s earnings drop from the day prior.

The stock itself ran to nearly $280 before tapering back and that provided some very nice intraday gain opportunities for anyone who had caught our alert. Here are the intraday trading ranges and total possible gains on those targets:

WDFC 07/16 $250-270 Calls
$250: 20.32-26.15 (+29%)
