Looking For a Big Start to the Trading Week

Strong Finish on Friday:

We really ended a strong trading week in a blaze of glory on Friday. In our premarket report we included ideas for four separate options chains which all gave us instant opportunities at big returns. the markets as a whole posted quite the bullish session from the open right on through to the close, and it helped with our slate of four bullish ideas immensely.

We had zeroed our attention in on the INTC Weekly $27.50-28.50 Calls, the TMUS Weekly $143-146 Calls, the GILD Weekly $71-74 Calls, and the CVX Weekly $177.50-182.50 Calls for the session, and were not at all disappointed in the results. We even saw a massive eleven-bagger from the CVX $180’s, in addition to respectable multibag gains in most of the other targets as well. Here’s the breakdown of those moves and the total possible profits that were there for the taking:

OTC Recap – Verus International, Inc. VRUS:

We try to keep up with the many stocks we tag in our daily extended watchlists as much as possible. It is a feature we have kept since our pre-options trading days because it often yields solid plays. Such was the case with VRUS this month, which, after first appearing in our reports on June 2nd, has run from super-subpenny well into subpenny territory. We’ve seen an increase from a low of .0005 on up to .0019, which marks a rise of 280%

GM, GIS Options Recaps & More

Options Updates:

We continue plugging away at attempting to find options plays despite having so few earnings reports to rely on as fuel, and yesterday our big name target was GM. Were were observing the GM Weekly $58-59 Calls with the stock in the midst of a pretty impressive run that has generally persisted for roughly the past month.

The stock ran pretty good out of the starting gate yesterday, and that activity allowed for some decent gain opportunities in the pair of contract sets that we were tracking. Here were the intraday runs they recorded:

GM Weekly $58-59 Calls
$58: .94-1.72 (+83%)
$59: .55-1.10 (+100%)
_____

For an additional update, we’ve been tracking the GIS 10/15 $55-50 Calls since the morning of September 22nd, and we wanted to swing back around to report on the new highs we witnessed in those plays. Here are the ranges and total possible gains that were registered there in recent sessions:

GIS 10/15 $55-60 Calls
$55: 3.80-6.95 (+83%)
$57.50: 1.70-4.50 (+165%)
$60: .60-2.15 (+258%)
