Options On Stocks In The $17.00 -$18.00 Range Are" Perky". The Stock in Play Is Rivian

I don't like playing options on stocks in this price range. It's exhausting because you have to watch them so closely.

Why didn't lightbulbs go off in my head yesterday saying lets take a flyer on Ford Call options for tomorrow with one day's trading life left in them? That would be the Dec 10th 20 Calls. 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 ...
