Day Trading One Month Out Options. Learning To Skim The Tiniest Of Moves

This blog is different. It's about skimming small profits on one type of option in particular. It's also my story about how to make the time value of "one-month-out" options your very best friend. What I am about to try to describe to you is a phenomenon of wrongly calculated time values built into option pricings. Wrongly calculated from the perspective that some option prices (their "bids and asks") are over-sensitive to the tiniest of pricing swings. Who am I to make claims like this? What credentials do I bring to the table? I don't want to tell you as I want to keep my identity a secret. Let's just say that I have being trading options for a long time. Over the years I have learned that "nine month" or "one year out" Call options or Put options on stock's in the ten dollar price range are often mispriced. As example, I have followed the stock "Ford" for like forty years and to me it's January Call options a...

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.
