Cautious Yet Bold Options Strategy Keeps Bearing Fruit

Yesterday’s Options Success: 

It seems like the winds of fortune have been gusting in our favor for quite some time now, with the options targets we outlined in yesterday’s morning report all producing gain opportunities on some level. That makes for the fourth straight session in which every single one of our interests has given traders a shot as compounding their funds.

Our daily focus was trained on the AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts, the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls, and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which all put forth some measure of intraday run in what amounted to a bit of a choppy day for the markets as a whole. Things in that regard have become rather harder to predict, but we’ve been trying very hard to select potential plays with a good risk/reward balance. Here’s where our efforts led yesterday:

AVAV 07/15 $75-70 Puts

2.49-4.49 (+80%)

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%
