Autonomous Air Taxis Or "eVTOLs"

These are not new companies and these companies are know to beat their own drums. Making money is not a short term mandate. Look at the three I am mentioning. Now their three month charts. When one company has good news it tends to be a victory for all three companies. ............. I often talk about how exciting it is to play options on stocks in the five and ten dollar range. Here are three examples. But first what are the markets doing at 2:10 p.m. on a Monday? They are down. Here is this week's "end-of-the-week" Call options on Acher. Now unusual Machines and Joby. All of these option series were caught off guard. In all fairness trying to catch moves on these stocks with a one week time frame is a losing game. The thirty day time frame is more appropriate. Spend some time reading about all three of these companies. Stocks in this price range are somewhat speculative however all three of these companies are working on creating avaition history.

A Note Of Interest On Day One and Two of The New Year 2022

If you turned on your computer Monday morning, the first day of the trading in 2022 sometime between 9:30 a.m. and noon you would have witnessed the markets were rocking. I watched Tesla and Apple and others. Everything was on a terror. Look at some of this action.
So what's next? Well on Tuesday the markets were rocking again. Look at the action in Caterpillar and Boeing.
Then there is Ford. All of the car makers are going electric.
What is the point of this blog? Well on the last on the last trading day of 2022 this year think up and not down.

What does the word disconnect mean? As a verb it means "to sever or interrupt the connection of or between; detach". Option trading - one day options - is a disconnect from the world. What happens to slightly "out-of-the-money" Call options on Costco when the stock shoot up thirty dollars on the day? I will show you what happened on Friday to Costco Calls and the options on a few other stocks I frequently watch. What a disconnect from the real world. But before that a look at how the indexes traded. 1) Costco. It's five day chart and a look at how three of it's option series moved upwards in one day. You may not know how to read these printouts but try to read the highs and lows on these option pricings. One printout shows an "at-the-money" option which means you are buying a contract on the stock, good for one day only at a locked in price equal to (or very close to) what the stock is currently trading at. The other two contracts shown are ...

The Little Engine That Could

Walmart again. It's all I seem to blog about. Here is it's five day chart. The stock keeps going up and the option series are set up in one dollar spreads. Even a fifty cent move on the stock moves the needle on these Calls. Look at how this series of Calls was trading yesterday at 3:00 p.m.. Now here is this same series of Calls just before noon today. Thirty days of upward action like this punctuated by the off day of decline. Now notice the higher volume of trading in the series of Calls with the higher striking price. These are the ones's with more leverage. At the same time look at the five day chart on Costco. The two stocks sometimes trade in tandem. Humpty dumpty sat on a wall .... a had a great fall. Someday soon a fall might happen but what a great ride it has been.

Another Blog On "Vinfast"

There is so much to read about this companies history online. Do your own homework. Their success is not dependent on what ends up happening with their sales in North America. They are nimble. There are plenty of auto factories all over the world now for sale they can acquire. They have dabbled in Australia. Having access to money to keep going doesn't seem to be their problem. Rivian also seems to enjoy this advantage. Vinfast is currently building a new plant in India which could employ thousands of people. That's an emerging new market. New relationships are being built and new investors will be coming onboard. Are option players looking at this stock? Not really if we look at these "one-month-out" Calls. What about Calls further out? What about next January? Here is a look at the three and four series of Calls. Nobody seems willing to bet Vinfast Calls. Now this. Here are two snippets taken from a blog I wrote about this stock back in early December of 2024. ...
