What does the word disconnect mean? As a verb it means "to sever or interrupt the connection of or between; detach". Option trading - one day options - is a disconnect from the world. What happens to slightly "out-of-the-money" Call options on Costco when the stock shoot up thirty dollars on the day? I will show you what happened on Friday to Costco Calls and the options on a few other stocks I frequently watch. What a disconnect from the real world. But before that a look at how the indexes traded. 1) Costco. It's five day chart and a look at how three of it's option series moved upwards in one day. You may not know how to read these printouts but try to read the highs and lows on these option pricings. One printout shows an "at-the-money" option which means you are buying a contract on the stock, good for one day only at a locked in price equal to (or very close to) what the stock is currently trading at.

A London Ontario, Canada company. A dollar a share listed on the Vancouver stock exchange. Low daily trading volumes. A vegan fast food chain with plans to open 20 restaurants in the next year. Visit their website and check out their menu, or better yet try it out. Go to Sedar.com and read the 'management discussion analysis" for the nine months ending June 30th. 2021. My notes. Lost $3.5 million in the last nine months (a huge amount of money), revenue $257,401 for the quarter, spent in excess of $2.5 million in listing expenses and $422,954 in professional fees (I have heard of other companies exiting the Vancouver Market to go off to the Nasdaq). To be in business now costs big numbers, wages $391,835 for the most recent quarter verus $6,569 for the quarter before it. How could that be? Investors can't be happy with the irregularites with these kind of numbers. This is a start up company. What a scramble. Might they be overly optimistic in their rollout plans because of Covid? A hundred different questions need to be answered. Will there be a line up of new customers at their front doors twelve hours a day trying to discover what they have to offer? That's what is needed to be successful. So much to consider. Such a limited operationing history and so much money flying out the door in organizational costs. Can these monies be recouped and were these monies spent prudently? What a gamble in trying to go public so early in the game. What is the short position in this stock?
Do your own homework. Walk away if some of the red flags I just mentioned bother you. The end.

This kind of a private placement is something I would call "double dipping". It's not what I like to see.
