CAT Puts

I see the stats. What I see is that viewer's don't care to read my blogs about Tesla options. I understand why. Tesla is not a new kid on the block and most options traders have tried their hand in trading in it. Timing the market swings seems to be problematic. One partial solution as ridiculous as it sounds is to trade it from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Fridays on days that it is in an uptrend. Then there is Exxon. Exxon moves independently from what the markets in general are doing. It's options trade in one dollar intervals which is nice. Walmart options also have this feature. You can play them interday with interday price swings which are constantly known to suprise. Swings can be large. Profitable trades can be done in hours if you correctly catch the right direction the stock is about to move. Look at this five day chart. Todays trade of the day was to buy it on the early morning dip. Look at the low of the day in the early morning trading of $1.36 and then an upwar...

Here is it's five day chart and how this one series of Puts traded on the day. Today is Monday November 10th. ... Who is buying this stock? Is it a well orchestrated pump and dump scheme? Lawsuites against it are mounting. The company has admitted in the past to breaking state laws and the stock did trade down to the $4.00 range in 2022. Fear and greed. That's what option trading in this stock is all about. Let's see what happens to these Puts in it's next few trading sessions. What helped to spur the markets today was the news of the end to the government shut down. Now Tuesday morning. Carvana is up. It's still a dangerous game. Now it's Tuesday and the DJIA was up 559 points. Carvana keeps going up. These Puts still have three days trading life left in them. To be continued.

Are you paying to much for time value if you buy in on a Monday morning? Consider these two different Call option series this morning, a Monday. These are 10:08 a.m and 10:13 a.m. readings. 1) Mcdonalds. ..... 2) Lowes. .... I am not a big fan of purchasing Monday morning one week options because I find they tend to be worth less closer to the end of the day. Let's follow this and see what happens. To be continued. The markets closed strong. It's not often the Nasdaq goes up over 500 points in one day. Remember I said I am not a big fan of buying one week options on a Monday morning. The Calls on Mcdonalds closed up. The 300 series of Calls went from $1.39 at 10:08 a.m. to $2.23 at the close.. The Calls on Lowes closed up with a bid and ask of "$440.00 and $620.00" on the close with only 15 contracts trading on the day. Here now is it's five day chart. I say take your money and run. I don't like holding overnight option positions at this early stage on th...

It's a friday and these Call options expire today. Here are how it's one day Puts are trading. At 11:15 a.m. these puts are "in-the-money". Now it's one day and five day chart. .... Doesn't it look like it's one day chart is going to run out of steam? Now let's look at how the stock ended up trading on the day. It looks like the stock basically traded sideways for the rest of the day however it really didn't. It has it's ups and downs. The little red line shows the action in the Put prices on the day.

What amazing gains compared to the five days of drama found in my previous blog about trading drone options with one week of trading life left in them. Interday price swings on ...

First off why would you want to? It's a Monday morning. As we get closer to the two final days of trading in the "one-week" options on the following three stocks what we will learn is that the "liquidity-issue" will make them somewhat difficult to trade. Let's start by looking at these three drone stocks and looking at how their one week to expiracy options are trading. Most drone stocks don't really yet make any money but the world is waking up to understand the usefulness of their products when it comes to military fighting. Within this industry there is a lot of competition and there are many other countries also making drones. Trumph has helped to bump up the values of many of these drones stocks especially during the first half of this year. It's all now kind of a guessing game as to who the winners and losers are going to be. In the last few days a rough patch in the trading patterns of all drone stocks is causing alarm. 1) First a company cal...
