Success Times SIX, Fresh Ideas to End the Short Week

Perfect Way to End the Short Week:  

It was a big day for options yesterday, with a huge slate of earnings reporters leading us to formulate a larger-than-usual field of potentials. We offered up SIX fresh trading possibilities in our premarket report, and all six turned in some really nice intraday performances. We went mostly bearish on the day, with just one set of calls to five sets of puts. The results were very pleasing, and it’s a heck of a great way to close out a short trading week!

Our 6-pack of targets for Thursday were the SPY 09/07 $445-443 Puts, the CHPT Weekly $7-6 Puts, the AEO Weekly $17.50-16.50 Puts, the AI Weekly $28.50-27.50 Puts, the GIII 09/15 $20-22.50 Calls and the SAIC 09/15 $115-105 Puts. The excellent chances they afforded traders on the session were as follows:

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%)
$115: .30-1.17 (+290%)

Huge Selection of Fresh Ideas

Options Review: 

We fared reasonable well with our midweek report yesterday morning, after having formulated potential options plays in five chains. With the exception of some longer-term puts in NVO, which may just need some time to come around, those ideas yielded some solid trading chances on the day.

The weekly calls that went on to enjoy those moves, in part due to the massive late-day surge in the markets following the afternoon Fed meeting, were the EA Weekly $113-116 Calls, the TMO Weekly $575-580 Calls, the GSK Weekly $34.50-35 Calls, and the AI Weekly $20-20.50 Calls, and here were the sorts of gains that were there for the taking:

EA Weekly $113-116 Calls
$113:
 1.34-3.80 (+183%)
$114: .96-3.20 (+233%)
$115: .63-2.25 (+257%)
$116: .40-1.70 (+325%)
_____

TMO Weekly $575-580 Calls
$575: 11.08-22.17 (+101%)
$580: 8.13-20.00 (+146%)
_____

GSK Weekly $34.50-35 Calls
$34.50:
 (low volume)
$35:
