Impressive Runners from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Big Move Friday:

We capped things off at the end of last week in strong fashion, despite a smaller than usual selection of potential plays. We may have only offered up two options ideas, but that’s all we needed, as they both not only made positive moves, but absolutely flourished. There were some really nice chances for big time gains to close out the week. 

Our winning targets were the SPY 09/23 $371-369 Puts, and the COST Weekly $465-475 Calls, which put together the following intraday surges. We’ve also got an update on the DRI 10/21 $125 Puts, which we began tracking the morning prior on Thursday. Those set an impressive new high after the stock went tumbling again.

$371:

Fresh Ideas for Big Name Earnings & More

Weekly Options Pop Off:

The back and forth choppiness of the markets recently has really been something to see, and after a rough start to the week on Monday, yesterday’s session flipped and went very bullish. Of the three quick-strike options trading ideas that we formulated in our premarket report, all three produced some very nice gain opportunities. We’ll hold off on the set of August calls we hashed out for NVS, and just focus on the short term plays.

Those contract sets targeted were the HAL Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls, the JNJ Weekly $172.50-177.50 Calls, and the IBM Weekly $134-131 Puts. They all turned in good cards for the day, and provided ourselves and our readers with the following intraday gain chances:

HAL Weekly $28.50-29.50 Calls 
$28.50: .80-1.29 (+61%)
$29: .53-.99 (+87%)
