Wednesdays Can Be Turn Around Days for One Week Options. Deere

Let's start with two charts. A five day chart and a one day chart as we approach noon today. .... ... Now a look at these two series of Puts which will be expiring this Friday. The 512.50 and the 510.00 Puts. These are thinly traded options with the built in worry of having a wide spread between the bid and ask. In some ways that doesn't matter, knowing that a ten dollar swing would not be out of the norm. More concerning however is the size of the spread on these next sightly "out-of-the-money" Puts. With spreads this far apart they would be difficult to buy into and sell out of. No one is giving away free money. Let's follow this story and see what ends up happening.

Ok. I am guilty of falling asleep at the switch. Caterpillar had great earning report this morning and the stock tanked on the opening. Here is it's five and one day chart. Now the highlights of the report. So now what do I want to show. How the different series of Call options traded. Notice the volumes in the 200 and 202.50 Calls. Next to no volume. Notice the rewards on the higher priced "out-of-the-money" Calls. Big rewards. In the ninety minutes of trading this morning the stock was off slightly. What an opportunity missed!
