Monday’s Opportunities, Tuesday’s Fresh Plays

Monday’s Movers:

The week got off to a slow start yesterday, with the markets dipping and a general lack of interesting earnings reports, but we still managed to find some intraday opportunities in a couple of the options ideas we had signaled for observation. We went two for three on the day in our premarket report, which wasn’t too bad under the circumstances.

The ideas that produced intraday movement for us were the SPY 12/05 $405 Calls, and the SAIC 12/16 $110-115 Calls.and those gain chances were moderate but respectable. We also have an update on another set of December 16th calls that we alerted last Monday morning. the RYAN 12/16 $40 Calls, which put together a very nice run over the past week.

Retail Recaps, Fresh Options Ideas

Holiday Week Wrap-Up:

After a restful weekend following the Thanksgiving holiday, we’re ready to hop back into the saddle, and ride out in search of opportunity once again. We’ve been a little short on earnings reporters lately, which is not atypical for the holiday season and may very well persist into the new year. We’ll continue to make do however we can, like we did on Friday with a pair of retail plays in WMT and TGT. We expect to be seeing a lot of the retail space over the next several weeks.

As for Friday’s targets for the half day, we were focused in on the WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls and the TGT Weekly $162.50-165 Calls. Each pair of contracts recorded one relatively nominal gain and one big, impressive multibag run for us.

WMT Weekly $150-152.50 Calls
