A "Love-Hate" Relationship With Pfizer Options

Pfizer options often disappoint however there are times when they can be your best friend. Let me try and explain. First look at it's five day chart. The 24.50 series of Calls have more than doubled in price in two days. Volatile stocks like this in this price range attract an inordinate amount of attention when it comes to option trading and it only flares up during these brief periods when the stock has these extreme price moves. Look at the open interest in this one series of Calls below. It's quite substantial. Now for a simple calculation. If the stock moves up today to $25.00 these $.37 cent options on the 24.50 series of options will probably move up to the $.55 cent range. Buy and sell let's say a block of 25 contracts and you will be rewarded with a nice gain. Now let we share this one observation. Here is a look at how the D.J.I.A. traded yesterday. It was down. Who wants to be holding short term Call options overnight if the markets are souring? Wouldn't t...

Image
After years of work they now have three truck sales. Now this. Would I be buying this stock? NO. Another reverse stock split seems to be in the wind. On a differing note "Faraday Future" is busy running around race tracts breaking speed records. I guess they are burning off steam after recently doing a 1-80 reverse stock split. Image that! Yes it really did happen. What a crazy race to go electric.** Now Mullen again one week later. **** An update in July 2025.. Nothing has changed much. We still have struggling car making companies.

Pension Funds and EV Stocks - A Need To Be Part Of The Action

Image
Pension funds invest in EV stocks. Currently Lucid is 81% owned by institutions and 4% insiders. Rivian is 63% owned by institutions and 12% insiders. It's not the average guy on the street who own these two stocks. What do institutional investors know about stocks in this sector that we don't? Tesla is 44% owned by institutions and 13% by insiders. Workhorse is 33% owned by institutions and 4% insiders. In contrast Polestar is only 4% owned by institutions and 47% by insiders. Lucid and Rivian are both up and running with production output. For this reason they both seem to be gaurishing an inordinate amount of attention. Please now read this. After you finish reading this I will tell you what I think. It seems to me that institutions are out in the garden patch whimically putting EV stocks into their basket. What a dangerous voyage of discovery. Yet what floats the boat is Tesla which has had a wonderful run. The scary part is that this stock has a P/E ratio of 71:80-1. The ...

Another New Electric Vehicle Player To Watch - Vinfast.

Image
Do you remember Polestar going public at $10.00 a share? Look at how it has struggled. It dropped further this week on a disappointing quarterly earnings report. Maybe next week it will bounce back again. It's still in business and advanced new models are soon on the horizon. It could be like the Nio report last week. Nio bounced back after reporting a quarter of lower production numbers. Other upstart electric vehicle companies like Rivian and Fisker are also struggling to be profitable. Remember I recently mentioned Faraday Future doing a 70 for 1 reverse stock split? How crazy was that? A ten for one reverse split would have got them over the magical $1.00 mimimum trading treshold and kept it as one of the most actively traded stock on the Nasdaq. Here is how it traded this week after their announcement. Their stock in now sinking into oblivion. Then there is a newly listed Vietnamese company called VinFast with vehicles arriving to North America and plans to buld a factory in ...
