A Look At "The Bids And Asks" On Two Different Series Of Put Options That Expire In A Few Hours

On July 3th the markets were closing at 1:00 p.m. with July 4th also being a holiday. Many traders were disconnected from the markets. It is holiday time. Let's look at these two different option series. 1) Boeing. It jumped up in price over $4.00 in early market trading. Boeing does that sometimes on Fridays. It's 10:15 a.m. and here are the slightly "out-of-the-money" $215.00 series of Puts which are just over $1.00 "out-of-the-money". The stock is at $216.21. These Puts expire in less than three hours. If Boeing started to give back some of it's gains these Puts could be worth big money.The stock is at $216.21 and the striking price of $215.00 isn't really all that far away.

The Dow Up 457 And the Nasdaq Up 460.70

Look at these gains today. Today is a Thursday. Meta is up $18.04, AMD is up $17.49, NVDA is up 110.55, AMZN is up $6.00, ELI lILLY is up 23.75, SUPER MICRO is up $241.52, NETFLIX is up $15.12, COSTCO is up $11.38 AND MODERNA is up $11.85. Gains of $110.55 and $241.52 in one day on two stocks! What's that all about? Well warning bells should be going off. We must be at a short term top. Three stocks stand out to me that are having changing stories. 1) Moderna.
2) Rivian.
3) Lucid
In these crazy markets a lot of these stories get buried. Option players in these markets are getting whipsawed and it is getting to be to difficult a market to play in. Once this final round of earning reports are over things should get back to normal.
