Recapping Options Runners, Fresh Plays

Markets Rip on Monday:

We were a little light on options activity with one of the two ideas we signaled in yesterday’s report, but fortunately for us, the day was marked by a sizable surge in the markets. That not only sent our SPY 12/12 $393-394 Calls for the day on a major run, but we saw new highs in several of the December 16th Calls we’ve been tracking in other chains in recent weeks.

We signaled the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls for observation on December 2nd, and both the GTLB 12/16 $45 Calls and the FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls we targeted on the 6th. Here are the full breakdowns of yesterday’s SPY’s, and the performance of the other plays over the aforementioned date ranges:

Tuesday’s Options Success, 5-Pack of Fresh Plays

Tuesday’s Options Recaps:

We got onto a good track yesterday with the fresh options ideas we included in yesterday morning’s premarket report, which each of the three sets of targets that we formulated producing considerable intraday movements and potential gains. This was despite all of them being bullish in nature, and the fact that the markets saw yet another disappointing session. We’ve got another, even larger slate of options ideas for our readers to consider this morning, as well.

Our ideas that helped us buck the trend yesterday were the GTLB 12/16 $45 Calls, the FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls, and the SIG Weekly $60-62 Calls. While we certainly didn’t see astronomical gains, there was plenty of intraday movement and profit opportunities for us in every case.

Monday’s Opportunities, Tuesday’s Fresh Plays

Monday’s Movers:

The week got off to a slow start yesterday, with the markets dipping and a general lack of interesting earnings reports, but we still managed to find some intraday opportunities in a couple of the options ideas we had signaled for observation. We went two for three on the day in our premarket report, which wasn’t too bad under the circumstances.

The ideas that produced intraday movement for us were the SPY 12/05 $405 Calls, and the SAIC 12/16 $110-115 Calls.and those gain chances were moderate but respectable. We also have an update on another set of December 16th calls that we alerted last Monday morning. the RYAN 12/16 $40 Calls, which put together a very nice run over the past week.
