Costco. It's Short Term Options

 Options on stocks in the $1,000  range often move  50%  or more in only a matter of  minutes on the opening on Wednesday and Thursday's . The trick is to  anticipate correctly which way the markets are going to move. That's a fools game you might say? Yes and no. It may not be a game you ever play but it might be something to consider to put in your bag of tricks when you are on a role. One thousand dollar stocks sometimes move five, ten or fifteen dollars on the day. If you have profits it's best to take them quickly. Costco is a prime example of that. Let's look at this mornings action. First it's five day and one day charts. Tuesday's trading was kind of choppy. Might it drop on the opening tomorrow? Here is a look at where the 1,035 series of Puts closed that expire this Friday. They closed at $8.50. It looks like Costco cycled up about five times yesterday. Given a weak market opening doesn't it stand to reason a three or four or five dollar will be i...

January Blues and News on Taiga- The Opportunity to Tap Into 90 Dealerships

Here is the list of auto stocks I watch. All are down this morning.
It's difficult to think about playing the upside. It's also difficult to play the downside. Caterpillar is struggling. It dropped today. Analyst are always busy looking in their rear view mirrors to explain what is happening. They now say that Caterpillar is exposed to the slowdown in China. That's not really a fair assessment of the overall big picture. It recently had a nice run up.
Boeing is entering into a cup formation.
Moderna was $86.00 back at Christmas and jumped to $115.00 on Jan 8th only now to settle back down again to $96.00.
Then there is Nio an Ev maker. They are expanding their sales into Europe. I often talk about this stock as it trades in very high volumes and has a huge following . A few years back it traded five times higher in price than it does now. It's product line is now much improved. The stock however is now crashing. There seems to be to much focus on monthly production numbers.
Nothing is being spared in this massive grubbing and jumping in now hoping for the start of a reversal doesn't seem to be a smart approach. Times will however change. ****
Now news on Taiga. Electric watercraft. This will keep them busy.
Why isn't the stock jumping upwards in price? One reason is that the potential of these new orders will force this company to raise additional working capital. They seem burn through money quickly. That plus why are they trying to build two different product lines at the same time? Maybe they should focus on only one product. A few years back this stock was $10.00 per share and now when things seem to taking off it's down to $1.00. If the watercraft division takes off this company might have a bright future. As a general rule I don't like Quebec based companies. It's still very much a wait and see situation.
