Boeing Puts At 10:24 A.M.

Here they are. What I want to show you is the open interest at 10:29 a.m. and the open interest as 10:31 a.m. I have talked about this before, computer generated traded kicking in at 30 minute intervals. Now this. Nothing happened. In option trading there is always a bias to the upside. What this tells me is that fot the next ten minutes of so I don't see Boeing surging upwards. Here is it's morning chart at 10:43.a.m., thirteen minutes later. Now the Puts. Now the Put action at 11:20 a.m. with the D.J.I.A up 460 points. One option at this point in time is to give up and sell out and get your money back. Most traders don't think that "one-week-options" offer this versatility. They do. Getting back your money playing Puts on a morning the D.J.I.A is up 460 points is a win in itself. Or you can be more adventurous and stay in. To be continued.

Another New Electric Vehicle Player To Watch - Vinfast.

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 the United States. What a dumb time to listing a stock in this sector on the NASDAQ. I think the stock is in for a rough ride.
Down from over $80.00 at the start of the week to $29.49. What's to stop it from going to $15.00? Stay away until it builds it's new factory on U.S. grounds and gets it up and running. On a differing note, the big three auto companies in North American now have new companies like this one coming out of nowhere as competition. Competition is a good thing. Consumers are gaining more options. ** An Sep 6th update. The rough ride continues.
A Sept.22nd update.
EV stocks in this price range make me nervous.

Waiting For A Drop On The Opening On Bad News - Eli Lilly

Image
Here is the bad news. The company is Eli Lilly. How bad is this news? Well look at it trading in the premarkets. So what do I think? I think the news is a setback of sorts, but not really all that bad. The stock is going to open lower, that's a given. It's like trying to play Boeing after an announcement that an airplane has crashed. So the stock is going to crash and it might have a small rebound and then it's going to slide down some more. A test of sorts will happen sometime in the afternoon. It might stock falling but then where will it go from there? The best case scenario is a recognition that investors got it all wrong and the stock ends up flat on the day. Yet there might be more of a downward dumping of the stock on the close followed by a selloff on tomorrows opening. Should option players be jumping in to play the upside on next week's Calls? That is the question. Here is a look at Boeing on the days after a crash. Day two after the crash was equally as ...

News on Polestar , Lucid (Trading After A Reverse Stock Split) Plus Ford News And Vinfast

Image
Look at the one year chart on Polester. Now it's one month chart. What's going on? It's confusing. It was down $.36 cents on the week. If you want you can spend $.20 or $.25 on Puts and hope that the company goes under in the next five or six months. They recently raised more money by releasing more shares so it's running out of options. You can't run at a loss forever and this news will most likely scare off potential new car buyers. This actually is a low number of outstanding Put options. The consensus seems to be that it is not game over yet. Lucid started trading this week on a "one-for-ten" reverse stock split. Here is its one week chart. It was down $1.39 on the week. It's also going to struggle. Both of these stocks have challenges ahead. On a more positive note here is a chart that looks kind of perky. Ford on the week. The stock was down $.03 cents on the week and it was the 3th highest in share volume trading on the NYSE. It appears...

A Fireside Chat - One Year Options and Thirty Day Options. Which is Better?

Image
Some say to think small, not big. Trying to play Disney options is thinking big. It is a stock slightly out of favor. If we start with it's a three year chart, we will see it is down by about 50% over that period of time. Now it's one year chart. If the stock can break 110 in early 2024 the sky is the limit. It does have a lot of moving parts so anything could happen. Look at these Calls options one year out. One year in options buys a lot of time.They look reasonable. If the stock ever inched up to the $105.00 price level in the three or four months these options would jump up in price by about 50%. Even more if they had really good news. Yet it's the "what-if" aspect of the equation that castes such a trade in doubt. "What if" stories just don't cut it. There are to many variables in play. Then again, why are we even thinking of long-term Call options after a December's rally? Let's switch gears. If consumers are out spending for X-ma...
