Notice the bids and asks are tight which I like so that every ten cent move in the stock's price sets them off in different directions. Here now is what it's five day chart looks like now at 10:05 a.m. going into an earnings release this Wednesday. Ford didn't move all day and here the closing Call and Put readings. Now here is the news going into Tuesday's markets. Now a look at the Ford options twenty minutes after the opening bell. "/> It is interesting to...
