$Caterpillar Calls On A Day The Stock Goes Up $41.00.

Let's start with it's five day chart. Today is Thursday. Here is what the DJIA did on the day. Here is what it's "near-to-the-money" Calls did. What stands out to me? Only 37 contracts traded and an open interest in this series of Calls of 36. This series of Call options expire tomorrow. What about the next week out Call options with the same striking price? How did they trade? It's unusual to have a higher open interest number. What about the longer term Call options, the ones thae expire near the end of July?. There is no real interest in them.

This post is easy to write. It's also something skeptics of option trading should read. Look at how all on the options exploded on this one. Here is why. Both of these articles were from Nov26th and 27th. Why the time delay in having this stock pop is something I don't understand. Back on Sept 5th and Oct 27th I did I blogs on this stock. Go back and read them. Both times I ended these blogs by saying "Do your homework on this one". Read my blogs about playing options on $5.00 stocks. Here now is how Vinfast closed the day. Now look at how the five series of Calls closed on December 5th (with only one trading day of life left in them). Profits on options on five dollar stocks come and go quickly.
