Recapping Options Runners, Fresh Plays

Markets Rip on Monday:

We were a little light on options activity with one of the two ideas we signaled in yesterday’s report, but fortunately for us, the day was marked by a sizable surge in the markets. That not only sent our SPY 12/12 $393-394 Calls for the day on a major run, but we saw new highs in several of the December 16th Calls we’ve been tracking in other chains in recent weeks.

We signaled the SMAR 12/16 $35-40 Calls for observation on December 2nd, and both the GTLB 12/16 $45 Calls and the FERG 12/16 $115-120 Calls we targeted on the 6th. Here are the full breakdowns of yesterday’s SPY’s, and the performance of the other plays over the aforementioned date ranges:

Friday’s Big Movers, Slate of Fresh Plays

Friday’s Big Winners:

First thing’s first- we can’t kick off a fresh trading week without first circling back to our slate of options ideas that we included in Friday morning’s premarket report. We served up a grouping of five separate ideas for our readers, and there were excellent chances for intraday gains pretty much all the way across the board.

We had put a pin into the SPY 11/18 $395-397 Calls, the JD Weekly $57.50-59 Calls, the ROST Weekly $111-114 Calls, the PANW Weekly $166.67-172.50 Calls, and the FL Weekly $36.50-38 Calls. With only the exception of the FL $36.50-37 Calls, which were too far in the money to experience much activity, all of the rest of our targets put forth some rather respectable intraday runs. Here’s the rundown on those gainers:
