Ford Calls and a Big Surprise.

Look at this Ford chart on July 1st. Now todays Call options. Every quarter these types of reports come out. This one was good. Watch for it Next July 1st. A $2.00 option went up to close at $37.00. In my introductory remarks to this blogging channel a few years ago I said many old farts driving Mustang convertables paid for them from money made on playing Ford options. This bounce today in the Call prices based on this good news report of rising sales was one of those events. Now this, the strenght continued into the following day which is Wednesday July 2nd. This is a short week for option trading with tomorrow being the last day. Action like this is extremely rare.

Ford and Nio Power Up Again

Look at the opening on Ford. What a stock to be focusing on over the last week. Call optons that consistently double in price in a matter of one or two days of trading. The party will not go on forever but what a ride.
This mornings upward move.
If you were trading Boeing or Caterpillar options you would be looking for two or three dollar swings. With stocks like Ford and Nio these recent swings are huge on a precentage basis. That is the power of playing options on stocks in this price range. In yesterdays blog I mentioned Nio. It had news.
Look at how the stock jumped again on the opening. That is two days in a row.
Is this not intended to be a blog about learning to trade like a pro. There is a high risk involved in trying so guess daily price swings on low priced stocks like this. In some ways what we are talking about is mispricings in the market. Barons is constantly talking about how Ford may be underpriced given this shift to going electric. This will be a multi year story. Option traders are known to chase what we can call the action and next week both of these stocks may be out-of-fashion. It will be interesting to watch how Ford closes out the week.
