Excellent Start to the Week, More Fresh Plays

Excellent Start to the Trading Week:

We came out with guns blazing yesterday morning, signaling three sets of potential options plays in our premarket report, all of which ended up putting forth some very nice intraday moves and possible profits for anyone following along.

Options Review, Bearish on New Plays

BAC, SYF Options Review: 

We made good on both of the short-term options trading ideas we issued in yesterday morning’s premarket report. with our long -term play needing some more time to mature. We typically steer clear of banks, but occasionally we will take a shot following an earnings drop and we did so successfully with Bank of America.

We were zeroed in on the BAC Weekly $36.50-37.50 Calls, as well as the SYF Weekly $37-39 Calls, which also produced significant intraday gain opportunities for us on the day. The daily ranges and total possible profits off of those ideas were as follows:

BAC Weekly $36.50-37.50 Calls 

$36.50: 1.18-2.86 (+142%)
$37: .84-2.35 (+179%)
