A 4-Pack of Fresh Options Plays

Options Puts Buck the Market Trend: 

We decided to go bearish on a couple of options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, flying in the face of the market sentiment of the day. HAL and LMT were both coming off their earnings reports, and a short felt like the way to go.

Despite the markets roaring up, both of our ideas bucked the overall trend and recorded excellent moves on the day, providing ourselves and our readers with multibag intraday gain opportunities. Our specific targets were the HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts, and the LMT Weekly $465-460 Puts, and here were the excellent moves they put forth for the session:

HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts
$41.50: .45-1.10 (+144%)
$41: .33-.80 (+142%)
$40.50: .22-.53 (+141%)

LMT Weekly $465-460 Puts
$465:
