Sell Granite Calls for an 80% Gain in Two Weeks

Sell to close the December 15, 2017, call on Granite Construction (GVA) with a strike price of $55 at $4.60 or lower. Symbol (GVA171215C55)

These Granite calls are up 80% in just two weeks time. What a trade these infrastructure stocks have been!

Despite prices moving up above my limit on the Eagle (NYSE: EXP) and Vulcan (NYSE: VMC) calls, we were able to get on board with Granite and Summit (NYSE: SUM), whose calls we sold just two days after purchase for a 140% gain.

Those of you who have been with me for a while know that I like to take a big gain when it comes quickly in options. However, these calls do not expire until December so if you prefer to hold on you can put a stop on these calls right around this level.

As always I’m eager to hear how this trade (and any others) worked out for you. If you’d like please consider filling out this survey so that I can improve the service for you.

Hi Jerry,
I’ve put a note into customer service as you should be able to sign up for text alerts when signing up for the service.
