Costco. It's Short Term Options

 Options on stocks in the $1,000  range often move  50%  or more in only a matter of  minutes on the opening on Wednesday and Thursday's . The trick is to  anticipate correctly which way the markets are going to move. That's a fools game you might say? Yes and no. It may not be a game you ever play but it might be something to consider to put in your bag of tricks when you are on a role. One thousand dollar stocks sometimes move five, ten or fifteen dollars on the day. If you have profits it's best to take them quickly. Costco is a prime example of that.

It has borrowed a lot of money to get to where it is at now. I have talked about it before, see one blog posted on Decber 12th, 2022. It is now under a "stop trading" order.
Stocks trading under $1.00 come with a high level of risk. (Here now is how Farraday Future closed the day, the first day after a 40 for 1 reverse stock split).
