Lowe's Trading At 9:35 a.m. On A Friday
"After it happens written blogs" are not as interesting as "live-action follow this now" blogs. I realize that. Look at Lowe's trading at 9:34:59 on Friday morning. During that second 932 shares traded. The stock was at $202.21. Then at 9:35:00 a.m., in that second 24,370 shares traded. It's new price was $202.85. That's a $.64 cent increase in only one second. Why would that happen? Could it be A1 trading at exactly the 9:35:00 minute mark? I have talked about this before. Look at it's one day chart. Now look at how this one series of Calls, the 202.50 Calls that would be expiring that day traded. Imagine catching them at 9:35 a.m. when they traded down to $.20. Notice how few of these Call options traded.
