Boeing Puts At 10:24 A.M.

Here they are. What I want to show you is the open interest at 10:29 a.m. and the open interest as 10:31 a.m. I have talked about this before, computer generated traded kicking in at 30 minute intervals. Now this.

Here is it's morning chart at 10:43.a.m., thirteen minutes later. Now the Puts. Now the Put action at 11:20 a.m. with the D.J.I.A up 460 points. One option at this point in time is to give up and sell out and get your money back. Most traders don't think that "one-week-options" offer this versatility. They do. Getting back your money playing Puts on a morning the D.J.I.A is up 460 points is a win in itself. Just get out and look at this situation on a day the indexes are not so strong. Here is how Boeing closed the day. This trading activity never ends.

Look at the high and low on these options. .01 and .47 . One thousand dollars actually turned into $47,000 if you caught it right. I have talked about how options on stocks in the ten and fifteen dollar range can often be darlings to play and "Ford" and "U.S." Steel are two of these darlings with options series that are the most splendid to play because their liquidity is excellent, bid and ask prices tight and price movements swings on only five and te...
