Morgan Stanley MS – 
Yesterday morning we were looking at some fresh options ideas, and among them was the MS Weekly $54.50-56 Calls. The stock had a solid session after reporting a beat on earnings and revenues for Q4 2019, aided by a good day for the markets at large.

As a result, we were able to witness multibag gains in three out of four sets of contracts, with the fourth not far behind. Here were the ranges and total possible profits that were on the table for the session:

MS Weekly $54.50-56 Calls
