Options Runners, Fresh Plays

Options Recaps:

We hashed out a trio of potential options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, and got things on track with decent moves being produced across the board on the day. Even those in HD, which ended up flipping the script and going in another direction, still yielded some modest intraday moves in a positive direction.

Our specific targeted plays were the WMT Weekly $136-138 Calls, the HD Weekly $315-312.50 Puts, and the GLBE Weekly $30 Calls. Here were the caliber of gains that were available to anyone speculating in these plays:

GFS Calls Post 1100% Gainer, Fresh Plays

Options Review:

Things took an unexpected turn for the markets yesterday, with all premarket signs pointing to a lackluster day, but the session itself turning out to be generally bullish. The result was an added push for the bullish play on our radar, while the bearish ones fell by the wayside.

We’ll recap the daily performance of those YOU Weekly $30 Calls, and we also want to include a couple of updates on two sets of longer-term plays that we added into the mix last Tuesday. On the morning of the 8th, we signaled interest in the GFS 08/19 $60-65 Calls, and the XOM 09/02 $95-96 Calls
and both of those have turned out to be excellent ideas, posting the following huge runs over the past week:

YOU Weekly $30 Calls
