Weekly Options
- Thread starter Rehoboth
- Start date
Are you sure about BP? I thought it was only for QQQQ, DIA, SPY and maybe a couple of other ETF's.
I think it's great for buyers who like cheap option's for a 1 or 2 day trade just before expiration. The QQQQ options should be a hot seller.

And to add to the confusion they still trade on Friday, so do they "expire" on Saturdays like the regular options? I think so.

i apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. MSFT reports on Thur AH. I would like to sell some strangles on it using the July 23 weeklies. Generally speaking, when is the best time to establish such a position to take advantage of the greatest implied volatility:
1) Thur morning
2) Thur EOD
3) should not make any difference when as long as it on Thur
