Good Start to Short Week, 4 Fresh Ideas

Recap of Tuesday’s Results:  

Things got off to a pretty decent start for us as we kicked off this holiday-shortened trading week yesterday morning. In our premarket report, we included a selection of earnings based ideas, and a couple of longer term tech setup plays. Most of what we were monitoring fared reasonably well on the day, with the exception of a set of October calls in CG. All in all, we’re pleased with how things started out this week, and are all set to increase our good fortune.

The targets that recorded good moves were the TCOM 09/15 $40-38 Puts, the BRC 09/15 $50-55 Calls, the CRMT 09/15 $105-100 Puts, and the TSEM 10/20 $31 Calls.There wasn’t much movement in the BRC $50’s but everything else performed quite nicely as you can see below:
