Wednesday’s Winners, 5 Fresh Options Ideas

Recap of Wednesday’s Plays:

We fared quite well with our designated options interests yesterday, despite the majority having been bearish ideas, and the markets experiencing another bullish session. We had a few trend-buckers on our hands, some of which ran harder than our one bullish play. We aren’t particular about how we make things happen, as long as they happen! That made our third straight day without missing on an idea, with the chance at another flawless week- something we have already achieved this year.

Yesterday’s ideas were the FSLR Weekly $146-148 Calls, the PAYC Weekly $160-150 Puts, the CVS Weekly $67-65 Puts, and the YUMC Weekly $47.50-45 Puts. Here are the intraday moves and total possible gains they recorded:
