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 .

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.

Walmart- Unexpected Simplicity In Option Trading
