Great Start to the Week, 5 New Targets

Great Start to the Trading Week:

It’s always pleasing when we can get off on the right foot to open up a fresh week of trading, and we were quite pleased with yesterday’s spot-on performance. We signaled interest in tracking a group of five potential options targets in our premarket report, and we ended up seeing some nice intraday upswings in each and every one of them. Being in the thick of another earnings season certainly doesn’t hurt our efforts to find movers every day.

Monday’s runners were the WDC Weekly $42.50-44 Calls, the ON Weekly $80-77 Puts, the MCD Weekly $260-262.50 Calls, the SPY 10/30 $413-414 Calls and the NVDA Weekly $397.50-405 Calls. Here is the breakdown of the kinds of moves and total possible gains that we witnessed on the day:
