Options Recaps, Fresh Possibilities

A Good Day for Puts:  

It was a challenging day for the markets yesterday, as they experienced quite the bloodbath, and that did not bode particularly well for some of our bullish ideas, but fortunately, we had some bears on the docket as well and saw some very nice moves in those. Just the latest example of why we typically try to include a mixed bag of ideas as much as we can.

Our puts from yesterday were the UNFI 10/20 $15 Puts and the THO 10/20 $90 Puts, with the TSLA Weekly $245-242.50 Puts from Monday’s report tacking on some new highs for us as well. So the figures below represent yesterday’s activity on UNFI and THO, while the TSLA numbers reflect a two-day swing:


UNFI 10/20 $15 Puts
$15: .13-1.60 (+1131%)
_____

THO 10/20 $90 Puts
$90: .85-3.50 (+312%)

TSLA Weekly $245-242.50 Puts

GFS Calls Post 1100% Gainer, Fresh Plays

Options Review:

Things took an unexpected turn for the markets yesterday, with all premarket signs pointing to a lackluster day, but the session itself turning out to be generally bullish. The result was an added push for the bullish play on our radar, while the bearish ones fell by the wayside.

We’ll recap the daily performance of those YOU Weekly $30 Calls, and we also want to include a couple of updates on two sets of longer-term plays that we added into the mix last Tuesday. On the morning of the 8th, we signaled interest in the GFS 08/19 $60-65 Calls, and the XOM 09/02 $95-96 Calls
and both of those have turned out to be excellent ideas, posting the following huge runs over the past week:

YOU Weekly $30 Calls
$30: .15-.40 (+167%)
_____

GFS 08/19 $60-65 Calls
$60: .80-6.40 (+700%)
$65: .22-2.80 (+1173%)

XOM 09/02 $95-96 Calls
