Caterpillar - Catching A Reversal On A Tuesday

Tuesdays are not the best of days to look for reversals however Caterpillar jumped a modest amount which impacted the value of this series of Puts. This is a 1:36 p.m. readout. Here is it's five day chart. Now its one day chart. It would seem like kind of a random thing to do and why fight a strong stock? One reason is that the markets are only mildly up and could give back some of it's gains before the end of the day. Caterpillar could be gaining strenght based on last weeks articles talking about how Caterpillar could potential gain from this new AI movement. Notice that the five day chart is in an uptrend and notice the small open interest numbers in the Puts. No one wants to hold Puts on Caterpillar when it is in this uptrend. Could it has a soft selloff in the next two hours? Here it is now 50 minutes later. The "bid and ask" are almost unchanged. There is also not much change in the DJIA index.Now this. The DJIA is sellig off and Caterpillar is hanging ...

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.
