Caterpillar,Tesla And Nvidia Puts On A Tuesday Afternoon. It's 3:40:00 P.M.

Puts can sometimes be your best friend. ** A special point to think about....

Look at the high and low on these options. .01 and .47 . One thousand dollars actually turned into $47,000 if you caught it right. I have talked about how options on stocks in the ten and fifteen dollar range can often be darlings to play and "Ford" and "U.S." Steel are two of these darlings with options series that are the most splendid to play because their liquidity is excellent, bid and ask prices tight and price movements swings on only five and te...
