Deere and Caterpillar End of the Week Profit Taking

Thirty five minutes into the trading action and here is what is happening. The 400 series of Puts on it are up 367%. The 405 puts are up 920%. They closed the previous day at .51 cents. Volumes of trading are light. Traders are not taught to trade in one day options and for all the hype about Ai trading no inroads have being made in this regard which is something I find strange. What value has Trump added to these two stocks this week? None really. So why such extreme forward looking thinkings? It's 10:28 a.m. so we are still in the first hour of trading. These options expire at 3:30 p.m. so there is still four hours of trading life in them and the Djia is up 239 points. Is it now time to catch a rebound? Maybe. Well maybe only to those traders who caught the selloff and profited this morning. First Deere and it's Calls. Now Caterpillar one day Calls. Lets check back later to see what happens.

Tesla. One Day Calls On A Day the DJI Jumped Over Four Hundred Points On A Friday

Call it window dressing. It was the last day of the first quarter of the year. I forgot how that works. Institutions sometime collectively bid up the stocks that they are invested in a last minute attempt to dust upwards their quarterly performances. Look at the one day Telsa Calls. They jumped a touch on the opening. Even after they jumped on the opening it wasn't to late to get in.
Then what?
At 9:54 a.m. the 200.00 series of Telsa Calls were trading at $1.14 per contract. Over seventy thousand contracts had traded. Now look at the chart of how Telsa traded on the entire day. It kept going up.
Now guess what they closed at and look at the increase in the volume traded.
How good is your memory? Use this tip every March 31th going forward. It might make you a couple of thousand dollars. Three final comments. 1)
Tesla for now is the king of building electric vehicles. How can the small guys make money in this new industry? It's hard. 2) You can't randomly expect to purchase random Call options on Tesla every Friday and expect to make money everytime. Here is a trade I made a week ago on Tesla trying this same strategy and I lost.
3) Read the second blog I ever posted on this site back on Sept 23nd 2019. It was about trading Tesla three different times on a Friday as it blasted upwards in price. Tesla Calls on a Friday should rank as being about a number "7" on a current options players list of top ten strategies. 4)****** An April 15th update. I want to mention one this that makes trading on Telsa so unique. It has to do with the bids and asks.
There is only a three cent spread between the bid and ask. That makes getting in and out so much easlier.
