Clean Sweep on Options Plays & More

Across the Board Options Sweep: 

Yesterday was another banner day for big name earnings reporters, and we got in on the fun by signaling three sets of fresh options ideas in our premarket report.

We were signaling our interest in the UPS Weekly $207.50-212.50 Calls, the FB Weekly $325-332.50 Calls, and the LMT Weekly $360-345 Puts. Each one turned out to be a very solid play with sizable intraday gain opportunities on the table, but the Lockheed short ended up being the runner of the highest magnitude as the stock took an absolute bath.

Here are the figures on the daily ranges and total possible profits on those shrewd ideas:

UPS Weekly $207.50-212.50 Calls
$207.50:
 8.19-13.20 (+145%)

METX was nearly a fifty cent stock, running from .4845-.70 on the day, for a rise of 44% which is quite an impressive daily run for a stock in that price range.
