This One Is Too Nervous To Watch. Pfizer

This is a short blog full of twists. Try to get through it. First a five day chart of Pfizer. chart. In the past week it was up $1.05 and it was the 7th most activity traded stock on the NYSE most active list. It's in a breakout mode. Look at how it traded over the last three years. This breakout mode might last a few days, weeks or months. This stock has a history of moving somewhat slower than most stocks. A second quarter earnings report comes out July 30th. If it's good that could add a touch to the stock's price. Now this. As a general rule stocks and options on stocks in this particular price range are difficult to play and in this case everyone is following the same story. Fred down the street and John around the corner and Mark across town are all dialed into the same commentary. There is nothing that really gives you an edge when it comes to playing it. That's the problem. Here now is a look at the Pfizer "next-week-out" $30.00 series of Call optio

Electric Vehicles - A Race

Back on January 8th I wrote a blog called "Dreaming Electic Cars". In it I mentioned the electric car company called Polestar. Here I am again on this topic. Countries like Norway and Denmark are miles ahead of us when it comes to North American new electric vehicles sales. The percentage of electric vehicle sales in these two countries is appoaching the 60% mark. Here once again is news on Polestar which trades under the name "Gores Guggenheim" It's price is little changed from my January 8th blog.
The second company is Sono Group N.V.. It is based in Norway and early investors in have not done well.
Now here is a chart showing the stocks price.
It is noted that it needs 301 million dollars in additional funding to get things up and running and if all or some of this money comes from the issuance new stock, that would put a lid on this stock moving up in price in the near term. Yet wait, they just reported their first ever profit. It's being a long wait.
Finally, I would like to reiterate more comments about the Chinese electric car company called Nio Inc.. I have mentioned this company before. A week ago it was number two on the NYSE most active list and it was up 10.1% on the week. They are also selling their electric cars in Norway. It frequently makes the most actively traded list. Here is it's one year chart followed by it's five year chart. One of the current worries is that Chinese companies might be delisted from the American exchanges because of their lack of accounting transparencies.
It's this last chart, the five year chart that stirs at the hearts of futuristic thinkers. Might it rebound back up in price again? Nio Calls and Puts might prevent you from sleeping at nights. There is so much to watch in this electric vehicle space. As a further note of interest Nio on the trading week ending April 23 ended up as the 5th highest trading stock by share volume on the NYSE most active list and Sono (SEV) on the same week ended up as the 4th highest NASDAQ biggest % mover. All eyes are now focused on start up electric vehicles. To end this, then there is Vinfast. It's stock is not traded on any North American exchanges.
A May 2nd update.

I Wonder How The Back Office Is Going To Handle My Complaint

Image
The blog is about dealing with the back office of the brokerage company I trade with. This story happened today. Todays trading session has closed and I just made a telephone call to them just after the market closed to voice a complaint over how I feel I got short changed. Here are my background notes. 1) It involves trading the 370 Boeing Puts that expire at the end of this week. I bought in at 10:08:34 a.m. and sold out at 2:59:38 p.m. I was stuck in this position longer than I had hoped. I got lucky and did O.K., however that is not the point. 2) Here are my two "in-and-out" tickets. Two contracts in at 10:08 a.m. at $163.00 each and two contracts out then "at-market" for $365.00 each at 2:59.38 p.m. Now here is Boeing's one day chart. It dropped precipitously from 2:59:00 p.m.to 3:00:p.m. I just happened to be watching it at the exact time of the crash. That's when news came out that the "FAA opens Now a Boeing Inquiry over 787 inspections"

Boeing Down $20.00 or 8.03% On A Monday Morning

Don't buy in, it's going to be a struggle.There is going to be too much guessing in-the-air in the near term. What happened? A door hinge problem or something. I am suprised with the millions of miles their planes fly filled with with all kinds of heavy things they don't loose wheels, wings and windshields. $400.00 dollars will now buy you a option contract on a 230 Call which will expire this Friday. That means the stock will have to rebound $5.00 just to get your money back. It might however there is nothing tangable to say it will. I don't like those kind of trades. So many pundents will now be commenting on what has now happened until we are tired of hearing about it. Let's just watch the action and see what happens. Now here is what happened on the next day. Can you see how these options have now dropped half price? That's what I wanted to avoid. Now is it time to try and rethink this position? If your still thinking about the upside it's still a high

Disney Had A Good Week, Fisker Not So Much . Lion Electric and Taiga

First, it's one week chart. Here is one of the reasons why it is up. India is a marketplace with 750 million potential viewers! I have talked about Disney in some of my most recent blogs. Short term Call options on it did well this week as they did two weeks ago. So one question is - "How can you anticipate action like this?" Well it helps when the stock is in a general uptread. Here is it's three month chart. India is not the easiest country in the world to do business with. Starbucks went there in 2012 and now over ten years later it has only 390 stores. Ford pulled out in 2021 after starting to build cars there in 1926. The number of Domino Pizza stores is growing. I admit that this isn't an exhaustive analysis but my point is we should not expect this Disney news to rocket the stock to the moon. It did however create a profitable trading experience for option traders for a couple of days. Buying in on news as it is being disseminating is often a recipe fo
