Why Exxon Options Are Changing The Game Of Option Trading

At least it is now in this current market environment. Look at it's one day chart today. Remember, options trading on it are set up in one dollar intervals. Can you see how it jumped up on the opening? Now let me show you four ways traders could have made money trading this stock today. 1&2) A double happened right off the bat. Buy the 116 Calls at 9:30 a.m. and sell them at 10.00 a.m.. Or wait until 1:45 p.m. That would have also worked. 3&4) Buy the 117 Puts at 10:00 a.m. and sell them at 11:00. a.m. Or buy the 117 Puts at 1:50 p.m. and sell them at 3:55 p.m. Is it really possible to make three or four meaningful successful option trades on one stock in one day? I would say yes and in this case it helped that a double happened in the very first thirty minutes of trading. Sometimes the charts don't look like this.

This post is easy to write. It's also something skeptics of option trading should read. Look at how all on the options exploded on this one. Here is why. Both of these articles were from Nov26th and 27th. Why the time delay in having this stock pop is something I don't understand. Back on Sept 5th and Oct 27th I did I blogs on this stock. Go back and read them. Both times I ended these blogs by saying "Do your homework on this one". Read my blogs about playing options on $5.00 stocks. Here now is how Vinfast closed the day. Now look at how the five series of Calls closed on December 5th (with only one trading day of life left in them). Profits on options on five dollar stocks come and go quickly. Here is a quick look at another company with $5.00 options that expire tommorow which had a few hours of glory in the last two hours of trading today.
