CAT Puts

Boeing's chart. It's Calls that expire this Friday. A flat five minutes on the opening. Tesla, now 24 minutes into the opening is also deciding what it wants to do in this space. The Tesla Calls expire tomorrw while the Boeing Calls don't expire for four days. Here now is a look at the Tesla Calls with the same striking price which expire this Friday. They cost more than double to purchase however this printout is 25 minutes later after the stock has rebonded over $3.00. What attracts me to these two situations? First they both dropped a chunk in price on the previous day. Boeing has a cloud over it's head with rising oil prices and concerns about the debt the country is piling up on defense spending and Tesla is caught up in SpaceX coming soon news which is getting a lot of attention. It's a case of buying on the dips and discounting the possibilities of the bottom falling out of both of these stocks. Now a 10:30 a.m. look at these same Boeing and Tesla options...

Before we look at what the "Call-and-Put" option prices are on Nvidia going into a Monday morning I want to show you it's five day chart as of it's closing on Friday. It doesn't really tell us all that much except that it could pop on the opening to regain all that it has just lost. Now it's thirty day chart. Every couple of weeks it seems to swing by $20.00. Now let's look at the price of the 210 Calls and 210 Puts at the close last Friday that expire today which is a Monday.Yes Nvidia has options expiring today. How you feel about which way the market is going to open? Catch the action correctly and you could double your money. Now this on Monday morning. Nvidia opened up $.07 cents and kept going up. The chart might look like it was down on the opening however the downward action you see on the chart was in the last ten minutes of Friday's trading. The stock has jumped so we can now focus on options with a higher striking price, the 217.50 ...

The one week chart tells the entire story. A thirty day chart adds more detail. Moves this large seldom happen over such compressed periods of time. Look at how these two series of Call options traded on Friday. Back on May 6th I did a blog called "Ford Motor Company Calls On The Week" and in that blog I showed this chart. Back then it was still the same story. Also of note is the fact that Ford is not doing particularly well in their quest to churn out more vehicles. I think this stock will now take a breather. Anyone playing thirty day options on Ford during this time period will be up like three or four times on their initial investment. Naysayers take note. Opportunities do happen. Traders are even finding value in 2028 Ford option Calls! Now Hertz. Might car rentals pick up in the next month as summer months approaches? Yes gas prices are up however summer is when many people take vacations and want to hit the road. Flying is now getting expensive. Renting a car is...

First it's one and five day charts. The time period is near the end of the morning trading session on a Friday morning. Walmart and Costco are beat up. .. If you are thinking about looking for a rebound it doesn't help much that Costco is down over $40.00 on the day. Now here is the pricing on one series of Walmart Calls at 11:27 a.m.. Walmart is also trading down. Now here is the price on one series of Costco Calls at 11:28 a.m.. For what it's worth the D.J.I.A. remains strong. Most day traders just walk away from Friday afternoon "last-day-to-expiring" option trading. Now here are the two closing charts. Both series of Calls would have given you your money back but that's about it. The next week out Call options would have provided slight returns. When you see a $46.00 morning drop on Costco you know that the dust still has to settle.
