Tesla Calls That Expire In 55 Minutes At The End Of The Week.

First Tesla's five day chart going into Friday's mid afternoon. It's January 2nd on a Friday. Is it time to make another trade to end your week? Can you trade Telsa options that expire in one hour?

As you can see, the 20 Calls this morning went from .06 or six dollars a contract to .61 or sixty one dollars a contract at noon! Then looked at how they ended up the day. A .06 or six dollar contract would be worth one hundred and forty three dollars! A six hundred dollar investment would be ...
