Drone Stocks On A Really Bad Day

I did the math. The average one day drop on Friday on these five drone stocks was 13.93%. The D.J.I.A index on that same day was down almost 600 points. I don't play options on any of the stocks in this sector of the market. $Unusual Machines the most expensive of the six dropped down the most at 18.36% It now trades at $26.37. It has weekly options on it. Here are it's thirty and five day charts. What a nice run upwards it had last month. ... Now this. A look at how one series of it's Call options closed out the day.

They are the Roku "out-of-the-money" Call options that expire tomorrow. The volume in them is not all that crazy but if I owned the stock I would be tempted to sell the Calls against my position and hope they would expire worthless. 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? The stock would have to jump four dollars just to get your money back? Talk about stupid? Yet then again Netflix, a company also in a similiar space sometimes moves like ten dollars in one day. 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...
