The Sliding Door Syndrome - Hertz

 Open the door and guess what might happen? Who knows which way the winds will be blowing. The used auto car market got dumped on last week in the U.S, especially on tariffs new.  Trump said he might raise the tariffs on cars to more than 25%. It's a fickled  market. Here are a few of the sell offs. 1) Carvana Company. It sold off over $21.00 dollars on the day last Friday. They have a reputation for having share manipulations with a long history of  insider "buying-and selling-activities". They have a short interest of 5.3% . It didn't help much that the DJIA was down over 700 points on Friday. 2} Carmax also sold off on the week. They have an earnings report coming out and that could cause the stock to drop but maybe not. It could actually rally. Here is it's one week chart and a conference call dial in number.

If it ever rebounded back up to that level in the next couple of days or weeks these options would probabaly jump up twenty percent. In other words, "one-year-out" Call options on stocks in this price range offer amazing leverage. The fact that they are one year out doesn't rule out the possibilty that you could be "in-and-out" of them with a decent profit in a relatively short period of time. On a differing note, options on stocks in the five dollar range can sometimes suprise. Here is a stock I talked about before it had some big moves.
For now, stay clear of all Moderna and Eli Lilly Call and Put options. That plus learn to appreciate that long term options can be used for short term gains. *** The same Ford Calls the very next day on the opening.
Now here they are two days later.
Here they are again. This time ten days later.
Look at the one day volume pour into them. Something has changed in the auto building industry to make this light turn green! Once again, long tern options on Ford can be an amazing trading vehicle.
