One- Day Options. Nvidia At 10:00 a.m. On A Monday Morning

The stock jumped on the opening and settled down thirty minutes later. Here are the details of that move. .. During this time period the real action was is buying the Puts just after it jumped on the opening. Now let's jump back to the 225 Calls at 11:46 a.m..

They would be very dangerous to consider purchasing since its very unlikely that they could ever shake off this downward spike so early in the morning. So now what? It's at this time in the morning when the decision to reacte to this bad news gets tricky. The stock is down like ten dollars and the DJI is having a good day. There is a strong tempation to jump in on the upside hoping for a quick reversal. That's one of the things that makes option trading so difficult. One...
