Late To The Party Option Players - Disney

Can late to the party option traders make money? It's something to consider? These Call options expire this Friday. There was news on it before the opening today. The second chart below a few minutes later shows it hanging tough. At 10:01 a.m. we now checking out the Puts. The bid and ask on the Puts are very tight. That also makes us ask what happened to the Disney 101 Calls that we first looked at? Here is what the chart now looks like. More Call option players have jumped in to play the upside that the downside. Might one do a spread and try to play it both ways hoping for a breakout either way? That's an option to consider. Disney has being a dog of a stock now for a year so might some profit taking set in? How is Disney going to pay for another theme park? With that on their plates forget any share buy back programs. They are taking on new risks in a period of global uncertainity. Are late to the party option traders best just to stay away from this unexpected situ...

The Quebec Government Likes To Get Their Fingers In A Lot Of Pies.

Quebec is going full force on trying to go electric. Read these two clips.
Now this.
If you don't know about the company they make electric snowmobiles and electric jet skis. Yes or no. Would you invest in them and is this a good time to be making such a decision? Well the 15 million they recently raised isn't that much money to run a factory for any lenght of time. Then again, the Government isn't going to cry if they don't get their money back. It looks good on paper to be adding skilled jobs to their labor force. In the spring Taiga issued 43 million dollars in 10% interest convertable bonds. Ouch. They now have to crank up their production number just to pay the interest on these bonds. So many issues are now apparent. The good news is they now finally have two product lines to sell in the recreational vehicle segment of the marketplace. However their research and development costs continue .
Do people have money to buy these types of toys?
What happens to the jet ski part of the equasion in the winter? Do they continue building them or is that part of their operations placed on hold?
How much money is the company spending on research and development and is it enough? As a investor how much tolerance do you have for these kind of start up stories? Is this blog is just another distraction? You decide. It's chart will make many investors want run away. In some ways it should. This has being a tough year in the markets for most investors. Very few investors have appetites for these kinds of situations and some traders have had bad luck trying to trade Quebec based companies in general. Case in point is The Lion Electric Company (LEV). Tiaga's stock price has being in a downward spiral for three years. Here is a three year chart and a three month chart.
What a rough ride it has had.
There are no options on it to play. Imagine buying in a few years ago at over $10.00 a share to lose 90% of your investment? Crazy. Sad. Did the company offer it's shareholders proper guidance? The stock has dropped significantly in the last week on low volumes after making big strides in production numbers earlier this year. My advise is to keep this one your radar screen but don't buy in. A company that never earns a profit will never survive.
