Solid Options Plays, Fresh Targets

More Options Review:

Yesterday turned out to be a very fruitful session for us, with three out of the four potential options trading targets we mentioned in our premarket report yielding some good intraday opportunities. No one can win them all, but it’s come to the point where missing on any of our ideas is a relative rarity for us, as any of our regular readers can attest.

Yesterday’s winning items of interest included the BABA Weekly $93-95 Calls, the MKC 04/21 $75-80 Calls, and the PVH 04/21 $80-85 Calls, with the BABA Calls providing the clearest path to big time profits.Here’s the breakdown of yesterday’s activity in these plays:

BABA Weekly $93-95 Calls
