CPRT Gaps

Short
NASDAQ:CPRT   Copart, Inc.
Guessing this closes one gap or another after earnings. I'm guessing down, P/E ratio of 28 is way too high for an auto auctioneer, Carmax (CMX) already ate **it, pattern is identical.
Comment:
No big surprises in earnings, it's basically the same as last quarter, no growth.

Up $2 AH, but the bid is below closing price. Keep in mind KMX gapped up on earnings before it tanked. Not sure I see a compelling reason for this to move in either direction, other than overvaluation based on P/E ratio. KMX is at 15, this thing is over 20. Neither are growing at this point.

This will close the gap at $36, but it may take a while.
Comment:
Forming an intraday pennant, will hit 51 if it breaks out of it or close the gap below. Still think this is overpriced, but won;t close either gap any time soon.
Trade closed manually:
Now trading step for step with the S&P, might as well buy SPY options whether it's calls or puts. Done tracking this one, unless it shows up on 52 week high list.
Comment:
This is going down, but as I suspected, SPY puts were a better deal. $5k daytrade profit on 10 SPY contracts, can't beat that.
