Month: August 2024

Good Start to the Week, 4 New Targets

Solid Start to the Week:

We got off to a really good start on Monday with respect to the options ideas we formulated for our premarket report yesterday. After last week’s perfect run, we did what we had to do to at least put us in the mix to potentially do it again this week. We signaled interest in tracking four bearish ideas as the market downturn continued, and all four yielded notable intraday upswings for us.

Those four target ranges were the TSLA Weekly $192.50-185 Puts, the SPY 08/05 $512-509 Puts, the NVDA Weekly $93-91 Puts, and the AAPL Weekly $200-195 Puts. These were the biggest moves they registered during Monday’s trading: :
