GM, GIS Options Recaps & More

Options Updates:

We continue plugging away at attempting to find options plays despite having so few earnings reports to rely on as fuel, and yesterday our big name target was GM. Were were observing the GM Weekly $58-59 Calls with the stock in the midst of a pretty impressive run that has generally persisted for roughly the past month.

The stock ran pretty good out of the starting gate yesterday, and that activity allowed for some decent gain opportunities in the pair of contract sets that we were tracking. Here were the intraday runs they recorded:

GM Weekly $58-59 Calls
$58: .94-1.72 (+83%)
$59: .55-1.10 (+100%)
_____

For an additional update, we’ve been tracking the GIS 10/15 $55-50 Calls since the morning of September 22nd, and we wanted to swing back around to report on the new highs we witnessed in those plays. Here are the ranges and total possible gains that were registered there in recent sessions:

GIS 10/15 $55-60 Calls
$55: 3.80-6.95 (+83%)
$57.50: 1.70-4.50 (+165%)
$60: .60-2.15 (+258%)

Solid Stock and Options Calls

Myovant Sciences Ltd. MYOV

In yesterday morning’s premarket report, we included MYOV in our Extended Watchlist for the day. It was a stroke of perfect timing, as it would end up the day’s top traded play on the NASDAQ.

The stock had been trading in a lackluster fashion for an extended time period, but the company’s revelation of completed prostate cancer treatment trials and plans to submit to the FDA, helped generate some really nice activity in the stock that is spilling over into the premarket today.

We’ve seen two distinct swings thus far, with MYOV first running from 12.64-17.16 (+36%) yesterday, before pulling back to 10.37. In the premarket this morning it has surged back to 15.31, a 48% upswing. We’ll be eager to continue tracking this interesting activity.



Kohls Corp. KSS

We also had a range of bearish options ideas in the Kohl’s chain in yesterday morning’s newsletters, and thanks to a poor showing on earnings, we saw deep decline in KSS stock despite the fact that we are headed into the thick of retail season.

Our ideas were the Kohls Corp. KSS Weekly $53.50-51 Puts, which put forth the following gain opportunities on the day:

$53 Calls – Range: 3.07-5.92 – Max Gain: 93%
$52.50 Calls – Range: 2.80-5.30 – Max Gain: 89%
$52 Calls – Range: 2.64-5.00  – Max Gain: 89%
$51.50 Calls – Range: 2.10-4.30 – Max Gain: 105%
$51 Calls – Range: 1.80-4.00  – Max Gain: 122%
