Monday’s Runners, 4 New Potential Plays

Monday’s Options Activity:

We got things off to a good start for the week on Monday, with our premarket report containing three possible options targets, and we weren’t disappointed with the resulting activity. It was a solid way to start off what is likely to be a characteristically laid-back holiday trading season. We don’t expect to see many earnings plays until the second week of January, so we’ll be going off premarket volume and chart set-up plays until then.

Yesterday’s interests were the ABVX 01/16 $130-135 Calls, the TSLA Weekly $485-490 Calls, and the UNF Weekly $220 Weekly, and here were the best intraday runs made by each one:

ABVX 01/16 $130-135 Calls
