Caterpillar Up Almost Eight Dollars in The First Hour Of Trading

What's the DJIA doing? How is the chart on Caterpillar? Isn't it true most of us would just stay away and forget thinking about purchasing Puts. Here now are the "near-to-the-money" Puts. Now the further "out-of-the-money" Puts that will only start to reacte with a sell-off of three or four dollars. The volume at this point in time is greater in the "near-to-the-money" Puts however they are both scary from the point of view that there is nothing on the near term horizon to make them change the coarse of their direction they are now on. Early buyers in this morning were hoping for an early morning market reversal. It didn't happen. Now this, about 50 minutes later. The Puts have become more affordable. Caterpillar at 11:35 a.m. keeps inching up. Now a 11:38 a.m. look at the 350 and 345 series of Caterpillar Puts. I like the 345 Puts now in the one dollar range. Here is it's five day cart.

A 1 for 100 Reverse Stock Split. Imagine Living Through That?

Here it is, I have talked about Mullen before.
Now a letter from the C.E.O.
$1,000 worth of stock is now worth ten dollars. One would have to ask the question as to whether there is even any point in keeping this company going? Stumbling along shipping out a few EV trucks here and there is a recipe for a slow death. Here how it traded this week after the reverse split. ($9.84 prior to the reverse split was $.09 cents. People selling out on the morning of the reversal thinking the stock would continue to sink forever, it probably will, sold out only to watch new sharks buying it getting an amazing short term rise. That was somewhat unexpected).
Yes there was a bounce however who wants to buy in now? Look at it's five year chart. What a mess! This wasn't the first time the company did a reverse split.
There where some comments flying in the air last summer to address the issue of short sellers interfering but in all fairness management seemed to be to busy bragging about how quickly their one thousand and fifty horsepower EV could do time lapses around a race tract in California.
In all fairness it's a tough industry to get going in.
Faraday Future mentioned above is another stock we have mentioned in the past as it also has done a reverse stock split. It was a 1 for 70 reverse stock split in late September and then stock dropped another 50 percent after it started to trade at it's new price. See where it is trading now.
These stocks, while interesting to watch are a fools game. (Well not if you were shorting it).
