Five Dollar Options. Hertz

First a year-to-date-chart and a three month chart. The three-month-chart looks slightly better. In the last couple of weeks it hasn't done very much. It did have a big jump about six weeks ago. What do I know about this company? Nothing much but the car rental business could be kind of slow because fewer tourists are visiting the U.S. and with all of the U.S. governments slashing of services fewer government employees are using car rentals services.

Tomorrow is Friday August 2nd. ...... ....... Why pay so much? Why pay $4.05 for a Call with a striking price of "58" with one trading day to go in the contract?

Here now is a look at what happened by showing tomorrow's five day chart. Down $2.19 on the day to $53.14 with the DJIA down over 600 points. Say goodbye to those Calls if you ever bought in. N...
