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

Ffie - Electric Vehicles And an August 16 th and August 28th 2023 update.

See my December 12th blog about this stock. Here is today's action.
Look at the volume. 140 million shares traded. That kind of volume is going to show up on multiple tracking systems.
A March 7th update. It's now almost half price. Last week it was the tenth most actively traded stock on the Nasdaq by share volume. It's often on this list.Then again it was the second lowest priced stock on this list of twenty companies.
Read the news on it. Most of the electric car companies are now burning up cash except Telsa. It's not a fun business to be in during the start up phase.******** Now an August 2023 update. It's still going, not much has changed. They did sell one car. They made a video of the sale.
One sale will not pay the bills so now they added a new twist to things. Read their new job title. AI stuff. Stop.Stop. Stop. These are all junk stocks. Look at the volume, a lot of people seem to like to trade them. Trading volumes are always crazy high.That's one of the things that makes this stock somewhat unique.I don't like this stock because it's track record is not great and it's going need a lot of money to get to the next stage. If it does get there then there are still are are no gaurantees. It's always a high risk business.
The August 28th update. A reverse split had to be done.
This is a game changing move. All the penny stock traders are suddenly kicked out of the game. No longer are we going to see this name of the list of the most activity traded stocks. Remember Westport doing a 10 for 1 reverse stock split? It's tough going for any stock after that happens. **An August 28th update.
A 23% drop in one day is huge.

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
