A 4-Pack of Fresh Options Plays

Options Puts Buck the Market Trend: 

We decided to go bearish on a couple of options ideas for yesterday morning’s premarket report, flying in the face of the market sentiment of the day. HAL and LMT were both coming off their earnings reports, and a short felt like the way to go.

Despite the markets roaring up, both of our ideas bucked the overall trend and recorded excellent moves on the day, providing ourselves and our readers with multibag intraday gain opportunities. Our specific targets were the HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts, and the LMT Weekly $465-460 Puts, and here were the excellent moves they put forth for the session:

HAL Weekly $41.50-40.50 Puts
$41.50: .45-1.10 (+144%)
$41: .33-.80 (+142%)
$40.50: .22-.53 (+141%)

LMT Weekly $465-460 Puts
$465: 
2.90-8.60 (+203%)

OTC Stocks Popping

Reviewing OTC Gains  

We have been focusing a bit more on OTC stocks than we have in years in the middle of the global health crisis. When big board stocks get in trouble, many opportunistic short term traders will turn to the lower exchanges to seek out chances.

So that’s why our readers have seen an uptick in OTC mentions here in our daily newsletter offerings, and already we’ve seen multiple significant payoff opportunities. In our morning report from last Wednesday, we tagged NBDR, and the stock has produced a multi-bag run in just a short period. It has traded in a range from .0112-.0489, which represents a gain of 337%
