Walmart And Costco. Can You Play Them At 11:20 A.M. On A Friday Morning For A Rebound?

First it's one and five day charts. .. If you are thinking about looking for a rebound it doesn't help much that Costco is down over $40.00 on the day. Now here is the pricing on one series of Walmart Calls at 11:27 a.m.. Now here is the price on one series of Costco Calls at 11:28 a.m.. For what it's worth the D.J.!.A. remains strong. To be continued. Most day traders just walk away from Friday afternoon "last-day-to-expiring" option trading. Now here are the two closing charts. Both series of Calls would have given you your money back but that's about it. The next week out Call options would have provided slight returns. When you see $46.00 morning drops on Costco know not to play Walmart's last day Call options and you know to stay away from Costco until the dust settles.

Options on Five Dollar Stocks Can Surprise! HSAI

I have talked about this stock before (Hesai Group) and this morning it suprised again. Back on May 17th I did a blog on it called "A New Company To Learn About". Now lets look at it's current five day chart leading up to this morning.
Look at yesterdays volume pour into it. Now this mornings early action. Another spike in volume on the opening.
What's all the excitement about this morning?
If you don't know this company here is what they do.
Now back to my May 17th blog. Where were the five series of Calls on it trading back then which expire in January 2025? Here is how this same series of Calls is trading now.
No one had any interest in them. The bid and ask where crazy far apart. The option makers were burdened by making option markets for a stock with not much of an option trading history. The worry aferall is that a stock like this could double or tank overnight on news. Any stock could but more often it happens in this price range. Why would I say this? Well stocks in the $5.00 range are not penny stocks and are not likely to drop to zero overnight. With good news and a story that is for real they can sometimes pleasantly suprise. Here they are now.
So what happened today on November 27Th. Here now is its current five day chart and todays action in the 5 series of Call options on them that expire on Dec24, 2024.
Thursday was Thanksgiving and the markets were closed. This particular series of Calls still have a month to go. Trading volumes on Friday, the day after are usually expected to be somewhat subdued. Here is what happened to HSAI
This kind of upward action can't last forever. Options on stocks in the 5 dollar range can suprise.
