Monday’s Runners, 5 New Possibilities

Good Start to the Week:

It was another reasonably good session for us as we opened things up for the week yesterday. We had three plays in our premarket report and saw instant gratification on two of them. It’s always important to remember that when we select options with expirations beyond the current week, it can be a few sessions before we really see the kind of results we’re after.

Our winning targets from yesterday’s report were the CLF Weekly $9.50-10 Calls, the VZ Weekly $41.50-42.50 Calls, and those did quite nicely, posting double and triple-bag moves on Monday:

CLF Weekly $9.50-10 Calls
$9.50: .68-1.50 (+121%)
$10: .28-1.03 (+268%)
_____

$41.50: .59-1.61 (+173%)
$42: .33-1.19 (+261%)

Nice Options Calls, Pair of New Ideas

Tuesday’s Plays:

Despite another light day in terms of suggested targets, yesterday’s premarket report, turned out some very nice multi-bag intraday movers. We continue to see massive swings from the SPY, which is usually a fallback for us when not enough interesting earnings reporters are releasing statements.

We had the SPY 07/01 $615-616 Calls on the radar, and also the MSM 07/18 $85 Calls, which themselves turned out to be a massive runner:

SPY 07/01 $615-616 Calls
$615: 1.40-3.86 (+176%)
$616: .83-2.91 (+251%)
_____

MSM 07/18 $85 Calls
$85: 1.00-6.00 (+500%)
_____

We also wanted to update readers on one of the longer-term plays we recently tagged. In our report from last Monday (06/23), we signaled the NOC 07/18 $500-505 Calls and have observed the following increase in those targets over the past week:

NOC 07/18 $500-505 Calls
$500: 4.08-11.52 (+182%)
