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:
