Another Perfect Options Run, 4 New Targets

Another Clean Sweep on Options:

We fared quite well with the options ideas we formulated for yesterday morning’s premarket report. The markets ripped all day long, and despite three out of our four daily selections being bearish, our targets successfully bucked the overall trend with some really nice intraday runs.

We were honed in on the DAL Weekly $34.50-35 Calls, the FAST 04/21 $52.50-50 Puts, the INFY 04/21 $16-15 Puts, and the PGR 04/21 $145-140 Puts. We got multibag runners out of all of our interests, with the exception of the FAST Puts, which only fell slightly shy of double bag status and still exhibited some excellent intraday movement. Here’s how we fared with yesterday’s clean sweep:

DAL Weekly $34.50-35 Calls
$34.50:
 .15-.55 (+267%)
$35: .10-.39 (+290%)
