Tuesday in Review, 4 New Options Ideas

Tuesday’s Movers:

We didn’t signal interest in as many sets of options targets as usual in yesterday’s premarket report. Despite casting an atypically narrow net, we still saw some nice opportunities in the ideas we did put forth. We have a more robust earnings calendar to work with this morning, so we should be able to carry the success over into today’s session.

As for yesterday’s items of interest, here were the biggest intraday upswings for the KFY 09/19 $75 Calls, the SAIL 09/19 $20 Puts, and the CNM 09/19 $55 Puts:
