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. Another strong session for the markets in general led to some good gains in our SPY calls for the day, and our other targets, both in the banking sector, bore fruit as well.

Friday’s Big Winners, Monday’s Fresh Ideas

Solid Success on Friday:

It was interesting session to close out the week on Friday, for which we formulated a quad-pack of fresh options ideas, all of which were expiring at the end of the session. With the exception of one contract set in the NTNX range, every one of our targets produced solid intraday gains despite all being bullish while the markets in general essentially tanked.

Our calls that bucked the trend were the UNH Weekly $510-515 Calls, the NTNX Weekly $24-25 Calls, the SPY 10/14 $366-368 Calls, and the  JPM Weekly $109-111 Calls, and here is the breakdown of the types of single-session gains that were on the table for anyone who caught our morning alerts.

UNH Weekly $510-515 Calls
$510: 3.65-5.67 (+55%)

Winning Options Plays, 4 Fresh Ideas

Options Reviews:

Despite only having a single earnings reporter yesterday morning off of which we could base an options idea, we managed to turn up some pretty good opportunities including a couple multi-bag gain chances.

That lone fresh play was for the PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls, and they did post some nice intraday moves. In addition, we have a couple of updates on some longer term calls that we signaled in reports from last week. For the CAT 11/04 $180-185 Calls, we alerted these calls on last Wednesday the 5th, while the UNFI 11/18 $35 Calls were an idea we formulated on September 30th. Both have performed rather nicely, and give a good example of why we like to include a mix of quick-strike plays with longer-term ideas.

PEP Weekly $162.50-167.50 Calls 
$162.50: 4.55-8.10 (+78%)
$165: 2.77-6.02 (+117%)
$167.50: 1.40-4.05 (+189%)
