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:

A Winning Wednesday, 5 New Ideas

Winning Wednesday:

We kept things moving along swimmingly on Wednesday with regard to the options ideas in our premarket report for the day. We put in a pretty good mix of short-term and longer-term ideas, as well as bears and bulls. Three out of our four interests produced instant results, and the fourth (IHF) we’ll put on the back burner, as we feel it will still produce the activity we’re looking for in the days and weeks ahead.

Our hot hands for the day were our other targets, which were the FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts, the WGO 07/21 $60-55 Puts, and the PDCO 07/21 $31-33 Calls. From those we got several chances for multi-bag profits on the session, and those moves were as follows:

FDX Weekly $230-225 Puts
$230:
 1.91-6.29 (+229%)
$227.50: 1.17-4.25 (+263%)
