YELP a big mover on ERs - I am thinking 10-15%. A Aug17 $34/$44 strangle is about $1.50....I will take the cheap gamble on a DC - Aug10/17 $33/$44 for 18c net debit
...this one looks better as YELP is poking $44 after the ER

strong USD routing gold. GLD to new low since Jan 2017, could keep going, maybe to $108 or lower. Will flip back towards $120 if USD weakens. Looking for a gold double ender.

Home Depot did its usual jump due to the hurricane, but it never stays up long, as the purchases just get rolled into quarterly earnings. I think a Sept.21 PUT at 210 strike for ~$1.15 would be a good play. With 100 contracts, a $0.10 move in option price is $1000 (minus fees) and stock price is $213.85 at the close today.

A $2+ change in option price makes for a nice, quick trade!

JAZZ
Sep21 165 CALL @ $2.60 or better looks good for some quick money.

Two quick, cheap trades:
KMT Sep21 40 PUT @$0.10 or better

WBS Sep21 65 CALL @ $0.25 or better


Normally I like to make decisions right at the end of the trading day because you can miss a good entry price due to a gap in the morning, but, alas, I wasn't at home for the close today....

hey money, thanks for posting. I've been sitting on some trades set up for the Sep FOMC, not many new trades in the last few weeks. Will get back to it soon. This TSLA fly been a wild ride but looks like it could actually do what I thought it would - a tap on $300 next week will be hard to resist - 14c in maybe $1.00 out...cheers

Hey Fool, I hope TSLA works out for you. I only trade short term PUTS/CALLS, no spreads or butterflies or anything like that, so I'm only looking for short term (<1 week but preferably <3 days) overbought/oversold conditions. I like to trade 100 contracts (minimum of 50), so I try to capitalize on the quick increase in option price due to those conditions.

Don't have the $$ in my account now due to a house fire and father in law being put in a nursing home Feb. 2017 (did you know if you sell an asset such as a house within 5 years of going into a nursing home, that money can be deducted from what Medicaid pays, leaving you responsible for half the appraised value?...well, it can and it sucks!!). Anyway, opening an overseas FX account to get my options account reloaded...but calling option plays helps to keep me sharp until then.

So, here is one more:

FDX Sep28 252.5 PUT for $3.60 or better. This should play out the beginning of next week, and certainly before FOMC meeting.

Have a good weekend!

Ha!! After looking at this again, I think I'm gonna call you TF or THE or something. "Hey, Fool" just doesn't look right...
