The Sliding Door Syndrome - Hertz

 Open the door and guess what might happen? Who knows which way the winds will be blowing. The used auto car market got dumped on last week in the U.S, especially on tariffs new.  Trump said he might raise the tariffs on cars to more than 25%. It's a fickled  market. Here are a few of the sell offs. 1) Carvana Company. It sold off over $21.00 dollars on the day last Friday. They have a reputation for having share manipulations with a long history of  insider "buying-and selling-activities". They have a short interest of 5.3% . It didn't help much that the DJIA was down over 700 points on Friday. 2} Carmax also sold off on the week. They have an earnings report coming out and that could cause the stock to drop but maybe not. It could actually rally. Here is it's one week chart and a conference call dial in number.

Spacs

Are a new animal and sometimes go dormant until something happens. If your a fan of "Caterpillar","Ford" and "Boeing" options your not really looking in that space.

- this one with the symbol "APXT' I played it yesterday and today.
In at noon yesterday, ten contracts at .35 each and out the next morning June 3th 2021 at 7:14 a.m. at .95 each. I kind of saw it go up after I bought so yes I did put in a sell ticket early in the morning at a price I was thinking it would hit. What happened was kind of interesting. Call it a perfect storm as the company came out with a news report. Option traders know that one dollar increase on ten dollar stocks can do wonders, even if we are talking about regular stocks and not spacs. A couple of footnotes.
Shown above is the days trading on the stock. The options opened at .40 cents and went as high as $1.25. What I find amazing is my fill in the pre-market when the options opened so much lower. I didn't check to see if I got a fill on the opening which was a mistake on my part, because if I knew I was filled at .95 and I the options were back in the .45 cent range I would have purchased more of them.
