Waste Management Again

Last Friday I did a blog on Waste Managemnet showing how it closed strong on the day. I showed how it's Call options also got dragged up and my point was that two week out options are sometimes a sweet spot in the market. Here was it's one day trading chart on Friday. So this morning, a Monday morning I checked it out once again. Here is how it was trading. Now let's skip ahead to the end of the day. Here is how the same Calls are trading. So in two trading sessions they went from a low of $3.43 up to $5.60 with no thoughts about "time-value" working against you. Here now is it's five day chart. Option trading doesn't always have to be about making "all or nothing" trades. *** Earnings came out. This is a good example of pre-earning option trading.

The Power Of "Three-Day-Out" Puts On Four Stocks That In The Last Five Trading Sessions Have Outperformed The Markets

If we look at the stock Carvana from a five or ten day persective that's not really enough time to get a full understanding of why the stock is trading the way it is. First a look at it's one month chart.
Now a five day chart. On average it's up about five dollars a day.
It kind of makes you wonder when you can start to play the downside. Now Netflix, a five day chart. It's the same thing, it's up over $75.00 in five trading sessions.
We can't forget Tesla, it's up fifty dollars in five days.
Boeing also got sucked into the upward draft as it had a few bits of good news like a government contract for new planes. This stock has also jumped in price.
Had any option player tried to fight any of these stocks using Puts as a trading vehicle in the last five days they would have quite simply gotten smashed. Is there any reasons to now think its time to play the next three days of market trading looking for some downside action? Wednesdays are afterall days of market reversals? Here are the prices of slightly "out-of-the money" Puts on these four stocks which expire this Friday going into the opening bell on Wednesday morning. I have no clue what is going to happen. Let's watch an see what happens.

It should be interesting to see what happens. Now this, a look at the first three stocks in the first twenty-three minutes of trading. The D.J.I.A is up but not these first three stocks.
These options have jumped 70% in about twenty-three minutes. ...........................
These options have jumped about 53% in twenty-three minutes......................
These options have jumped about 51% in twenty-three minutes. The Boeing options have not really moved.
. Wednesday mornings are sometimes like this. This is the first twenty two minute time period in the last five days of trading that any of these Puts options have increased in value. In option trading timing is everything. ** the closing readings.
With things like this happening more option chatter like this needed.
