Catching The Smallest of Moves Exxon On A Friday Morning.

Exxon on Friday morning. It's five day and one day charts. .............. ..... No real volume in the Calls. Now this. Volume is coming in. It would be nicer to see the spread shrink a little bit. At this price the option makers are putting on a brave face to cover up the low of $.44 which just happened. Let's see if a rebound happens in ten minutes. Not really but the rate of declining seems to be slowing down. If you check the Puts you can see the downward action is stabilizing.

Now at 10:30 a.m. Now at 10:54.a.m. We caught the morning rebound without to much worry. That was the game plan. Getting out would make sense no matter what we leave on the table. *** Now this nine minutes later. These options just lost most of their gains! It's good to be nimble!

I kind of saw it go up after I bought so yes I did put in a sell ticket early in the morning at a price I was thinking it would hit. What happened was kind of interesting. Call it a perfect storm as the company came out with a news report. Option traders know that one dollar increase on ten dollar stocks can do wonders, even if we are talking about regular stocks and not spacs. A coupl...
