Monday’s Results, Trio of Fresh Ideas

Options Recaps:

We produced a mixed bag of results yesterday, with the some of options ideas we had in our premarket report failing to meet our own standards, while other experienced some really nice intraday runs. In the interest of not sugarcoating a clear miscalculation, we went the wrong way on the SPY for the day, and saw just a brief and minimal spike. Fortunately, our other target chains yielded some much nicer moves.

In all, we had the SPY 09/22 $663-662 Puts, the MTSR 10/17 $50 Calls, and the ODP 10/17 $26-28 Calls on our daily radar, and these were the biggest moves logged by each one:

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%)
