Solid Start to the Week, Trio of New Ideas

Monday’s Moves:

Another new week got off to a pretty good start for us yesterday, with each of the three ideas we formulated for our premarket report recording decent intraday upswings.

That is what most often presents us with our best opportunities to make positive trades.

Moderna Inc. MRNA – Update: 

On Monday morning, we began tracking some August calls in the MRNA chain, the MRNA 08/20 $195-210 Calls. In yesterday’s report, we updated readers on the modest moves they made, and also issued an added idea in the MRNA Weekly $210-212.50 Calls, just to make things even more interesting.
