Costco Is Flat In The Last Five Days.

Well it's actually had a couple of ten or fifteen dollars dips. Can you play it? Some would say why would you want to? If you look at the open interest in these two series of options below you will see that not many players want to. That in a sense that is a good thing. Here are two option series to look at. First the Calls that are set to expire this Friday. Now the Puts which are also expiring this Friday.
