Thursday’s Runner Recap, 4 Fresh Plays to End the Week

Solid Thursday Outing:

We were very pleased with how things shook out for our daily options trading targets yesterday. We formulated a slate of three possible plays in our premarket report for the day, and all three returned solid figures for us. We’ve perhaps had less of a volume of interesting earnings reporters to go off of this week in comparison to the previous few, but we’ve certainly managed to produce some nice winners in spite of that fact.

Yesterday’s daily runners were the NVDA Weekly $1010 Calls, the ELF Weekly $160-162.50 Calls, and the NTES Weekly $195 Puts. The multibag gains they posted on the day were as follows:
