Options On A Monday Morning On Nvidia That Expire At The End Of The Day.

Options on Nvidia are widely traded. There are options on it set up to expire three times each week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Nvidia is on a terror as earnings keep skyrocketing upwards.

When we were all locked in last year everyone was ordering their pizza. I was also wondered if they would now accept my little free coffee sticker as it was only thumbnail size. Then when I pulled up to the drive thru window I hit a patch of bees. Apparently for whatever reason they were enjoying being at that window. They gave me my free coffee. Boy it was busy there.
I note in this option series that there were only 292 open contracts. That small number suprises me. Why didn't more option players see this coming?
