CIT Group Inc. CIT Stock As A Short-Term Trade Using Options

I am looking at CIT options, eyeing the 10/15 expiration date.

From the calls perspective, the $50 strike price looks good, being in-the-money & much more liquid than the $55 contracts; although the $55’s also look appealing if this momentum continues.

Overall sentiment on CIT stock looks bullish, as the Open Interest on the 10/15 puts is near nonexistent compared to the calls.

With that said, the $55 strike puts are currently looking like the best option.

Overall, CIT Group Inc. stock has many opportunities in the near & long-term.

In the near-term, momentum looks set to continue powering their share price higher over the coming weeks.
