When Caterpillar Goes Up Most Of The Day On A Tuesday. What do you do?

First you check out what the markets are doing at that point in time. You could then check out what the markets were doing back in the morning. Then maybe check out it's five day chart. What about news? Here is all I could find. So what are the Puts doing? These ones are five dollars "out-of-the-money". For interest only here is how the 520 Puts traded thirty-eight minutes ago followed by how they are trading now. Caterpillar is still going slightly up. So this is one of those let's pick a top moments without anyone knowing what is best do do. I would be jumping in now. Other companies like Deere and Tesla may also be running out of steam.

If it misses a beat on it's earnings report so what? Life goes on. Then there are those pesky analyst who are known to offer a convoluted spin on things.

Phrasing it that way is a recipe for short term disaster. ..... The two printouts above show some of the early morning action in one Put series and in One Call series. What happened the next day? A slight rebound with next to no traders trying to capitalize on a rebound. What does this tell ...
