Cash out with a slight gain? Here is it's five day chart. Can you see how trading short term options have periods of time leave you riveted to your seat. now another update. .. Might this be a good time to get out and take your money back? Probably. The longer a stock like this goes sideways the less value the Puts will have. To be continued.

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!
