Playing the SPY Like a Fiddle, 3 Potential Plays

Recap of Thursday’s Activity:

We don’t typically give such detailed predictions for daily market machinations as we did in our premarket report yesterday, but things played out essentially just like we expected. We mentioned that after the huge late-day rally on Wednesday, we were “anticipating the SPY to pare some of those gains early, before seeing another bounce”, and that’s just what we saw. With market volatility being what it is, we’ll continue sticking close to the SPY, just going off of our gut and the direction of the wind each morning to formulate our daily targets.

Here’s how that strategy worked out for yesterday’s SPY targets, the SPY 04/10 $532-534 Calls. We have the best intraday moves from our other idea, the KMX 04/17 $77.50-72.50 Puts as well.

SPY 04/10 $532-534 Calls
$532: .52-2.74 (+427%)
$533: .40-2.38 (+495%)
$534: .40-2.08 (+420%)

KMX 04/17 $77.50-72.50 Puts
$77.50: 5.90-14.00 (+137%)
$75: 4.92-11.70 (+138%)
$72.50: 3.00-8.87 (+196%)
