Impressive Runners from Friday, Fresh Ideas

Big Move Friday:

We capped things off at the end of last week in strong fashion, despite a smaller than usual selection of potential plays. We may have only offered up two options ideas, but that’s all we needed, as they both not only made positive moves, but absolutely flourished. There were some really nice chances for big time gains to close out the week. 

Our winning targets were the SPY 09/23 $371-369 Puts, and the COST Weekly $465-475 Calls, which put together the following intraday surges. We’ve also got an update on the DRI 10/21 $125 Puts, which we began tracking the morning prior on Thursday. Those set an impressive new high after the stock went tumbling again.

Wrapping Up a Challenging Yet Fruitful Week

Yesterday’s Movers:

The end of another trading week is upon us, and while market conditions have certainly made it a challenge, we’ve still been able to log some pretty good ideas and subsequent chances for traders to benefit. Yesterday morning’s premarket report yielded three out of four movers, and while the gains weren’t off the charts, there were still solid plays to be made.

Our movers for the day were the TCOM 10/21 $25-26 Calls, the LEN Weekly $75-76 Calls, and the DRI 10/21 $125 Puts, and the modest-to-intermediate gains they registered on the session were as follows:

TCOM 10/21 $25-26 Calls

$25: 1.35-2.50 (+85%)
$26: 1.11-1.90 (+71%)
_____

LEN Weekly $75-76 Calls
$75: 2.77-3.35 (+21%)
$76: 1.82-1.89 (+4%)

DRI 10/21 $125 Puts
$230: 3.70-5.42 (+46%)


Fresh Options Ideas:

COST Weekly $465-475 Calls


Global Tech Industries Group, Inc. GTII – OTC Recap:

We caught a pretty good gainer with GTII on yesterday morning’s extended watchlist. The stock posted a nice little breakout for us that fell just shy of producing a double-bag gain opportunity for us. GTII ran from a low of .93 and went on to hit its daily high at 1.78. That works out to a single-session run of 93% and it came on the stock’s second-highest volume day of all time!

Another Pair of Options Bangers, Fresh Plays

Big Time Options Runners:

Yesterday was a very interesting day on the markets, as the Fed Meeting predictably threw an element of extreme volatility into the mix that typically helps swing traders such as ourselves and most of our readers. The activity sent the SPY 09/21 $386-385 Puts, which we signaled for observation on Tuesday morning, into an absolute frenzy of multibag movement.

We also had signaled a longer-term set of calls in the GIS 10/21 $77.50-80 Calls, yesterday morning, and General Mills bucked the trend so heavily that we didn’t even have to wait days or weeks for the idea to mature, as is often the case with our signals that have expiration dates weeks or months into the future. Those too made excellent moves during what turned out to be a very exciting trading day.

SPY 09/21 $386-385 Puts

$385: .50-7.98 (+1496%)
