Exxon On A Major One Day Dip. Will Trumph In His Usual Way Add To The Confusion After The Market Closes? That's The Bet

It's Wednesday and Exxon has had its's biggest dip on the day in a long time. The DJIA is up. Here is it's chart as of 1:27 p.m. Now it's Calls that expire tomorrow.

As you can see, the 20 Calls this morning went from .06 or six dollars a contract to .61 or sixty one dollars a contract at noon! Then looked at how they ended up the day.
