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. Now here is it's chart a 10:05 a.m. If your looking for me to make some brillant comment as to what is going to happen next you might be in for a disapointment. All I want to say is that the markets had a bad day yesterday and the 980 series of Calls almost doubled in price on that day. My point is that these options have the potential (Tuesday options that expire on Friday) to make amazing moves. For example in a past blogs I wrote about Costco on March 7th this stock was down $69.60 on the day as I was writing about it! I have strong repect for these options. Recent...

Options on Five Dollar Stocks Can Surprise! HSAI

I have talked about this stock before (Hesai Group) and this morning it suprised again. Back on May 17th I did a blog on it called "A New Company To Learn About". Now lets look at it's current five day chart leading up to this morning.
Look at yesterdays volume pour into it. Now this mornings early action. Another spike in volume on the opening.
What's all the excitement about this morning?
If you don't know this company here is what they do.
Now back to my May 17th blog. Where were the five series of Calls on it trading back then which expire in January 2025? Here is how this same series of Calls is trading now.
No one had any interest in them. The bid and ask where crazy far apart. The option makers were burdened by making option markets for a stock with not much of an option trading history. The worry aferall is that a stock like this could double or tank overnight on news. Any stock could but more often it happens in this price range. Why would I say this? Well stocks in the $5.00 range are not penny stocks and are not likely to drop to zero overnight. With good news and a story that is for real they can sometimes pleasantly suprise. Here they are now.
So what happened today on November 27Th. Here now is its current five day chart and todays action in the 5 series of Call options on them that expire on Dec24, 2024.
Thursday was Thanksgiving and the markets were closed. This particular series of Calls still have a month to go. Trading volumes on Friday, the day after are usually expected to be somewhat subdued. Here is what happened to HSAI
This kind of upward action can't last forever. Options on stocks in the 5 dollar range can suprise.
