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.

What's missing is the price these Puts closed at on Friday before the weekend. They closed at $10.51. Then in this mornings dip they hit a high of $17.50. Not a bad return for a short term option trade. Monday mornings are sometimes devoid of market chatter and times when stocks stall out or take a pause. Playing options on stocks in the $1,000 range throws different tricks at you.**** A look at it's one day trading activity.
Once the stock started charging up there was no looking back. Many daytraders do not like holding options overnight with the exception of holding options over a weekend. For interest only, look at how the 1025.00 Puts closed the day.
