Excellent Start to the Week, More Fresh Plays

Excellent Start to the Trading Week:

We came out with guns blazing yesterday morning, signaling three sets of potential options plays in our premarket report, all of which ended up putting forth some very nice intraday moves and possible profits for anyone following along. Another strong session for the markets in general led to some good gains in our SPY calls for the day, and our other targets, both in the banking sector, bore fruit as well.

We were focused on the SPY 10/17 $360-362 Calls, the BK Weekly $39.50-40.50 Calls,  and the BAC Weekly $32-33 Calls. Here are the intraday ranges and overall moves they recorded for us:

1800% Options Runner & More

Recap of Tuesday’s Plays:

With yesterday morning’s premarket report, it marked at least the third straight session where targets in the SPY chain have been our primary focus. We have been inclined to take the bearish path over this span, and have been rewarded for our efforts each and every day.

Yesterday we had zeroed in on the SPY 09/21 $386-385 Puts, and another of our potential plays, the APOG 10/21 $40-45 Calls also recorded some really good activity for us, including an absolutely mind-bending 1800% runner! Congratulations are most definitely in order for anyone who able to identify and take advantage of that massive mover.

Kicking Off Another Short Trading Week

Options Play Review: 

Heading into the long weekend on Friday, we took just one stab at a set of potential quick-strike weekly targets. We went to the short side on Micron Technology and thanks in part to an early dip in the markets, that idea yielded a pretty good set of runners.

We were zeroed in on the MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts which produced the following multi-bag intraday runs for us:

MU Weekly $53.50-52 Puts
$53.50: 
.66-2.06 (+212%)
$53: .43-1.65 (+284%)
$52: .20-.85 (+325%)

Additionally, we wanted to do a quick recap of a couple of the plays we signaled interest in earlier in the week. We flagged ideas in General Mills and McCormick in Wednesday morning’s report that finished out the week with strength and posted new highs. Our targets were the GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls and the MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts, which put up the following trading ranges and total possible gains between Wednesday and Friday.

GIS 07/15 $70-72.50 Calls
$70: 1.69-5.90 (+249%)
$72.50: .75-3.50 (+367%)
_____

MKC 07/15 $90-80 Puts 
$90: 6.00-8.10 (+35%)
$85: 2.01-3.60 (+80%)
$80: .60-1.20 (+100%)

Gain Clients, Inc. GCLT – OTC Recap:

We also have a brief update on GCLT, an OTC stock we flagged in Friday morning’s extended watchlist. The made a very respectable intraday move, running from a low of .018 on up to a high of .0349. That works out to a single-session rip of 94% and that came on its second-highest daily volume ever recorded, with the previous session being the first.
