Boeing Puts At 10:24 A.M.

Here they are. What I want to show you is the open interest at 10:29 a.m. and the open interest as 10:31 a.m. I have talked about this before, computer generated traded kicking in at 30 minute intervals. Now this. Nothing happened. In option trading there is always a bias to the upside. What this tells me is that fot the next ten minutes of so I don't see Boeing surging upwards. Here is it's morning chart at 10:43.a.m., thirteen minutes later. Now the Puts. Now the Put action at 11:20 a.m. with the D.J.I.A up 460 points. One option at this point in time is to give up and sell out and get your money back. Most traders don't think that "one-week-options" offer this versatility. They do. Getting back your money playing Puts on a morning the D.J.I.A is up 460 points is a win in itself. Just get out and look at this situation on a day the indexes are not so strong. Here is how Boeing closed the day. This trading activity never ends.

Roku Jumped in Anticipation Of A Good Earnings Report

Only to fall again. Look at this five and thirty day chart. ................................................... Yet thats only part of the story. Look at it's year to date chart. How bad was their earnings report? Do you think their pain and suffering is all now behind them? The stock is down 38% on the year. All I know is that they still seem to be making a pile of money. On a different note and in a different industry a stock named "First Solar" was stuck in neutral a few months back because interest rates where to seemingly high and companies in that industry were cutting back on the size and number of projects they were working on. Since that time and for whatever reason the stock in on fire. Both Boeing and Caterpillar also crashed last week on earning report releases. There seemed to be a hint of danger present in both companies releases. It's almost as if there was a domino effect. Next question? Why is Netflix gettng beat up? Look at it's chart. Is ...

Caterpillar - It's First Quarter Earnings Report And Traders Are Staying Away. A Read Which Might Be A Good Reference Point Going Forward.

Image
Boeing rallied yesterday on the release of it's earnings report only then to tank. Caterpillar is tanking this morning in the premarkets. Let's begin with it's 5 day and 30 day chart. ... The world needs to be rebuilt and Caterpillar is there to help. It's growing, it's got a good reputation, it's not laying off employees and it's doing just fine. If it misses a beat on it's earnings report so what? Life goes on. Then there are those pesky analyst who are known to offer a convoluted spin on things. If you like Caterpillar just buy it on the dips and put it away. So the markets will be opening on the commentary by the companies C.E.O of "sales about flat". Phrasing it that way is a recipe for short term disaster. ..... The two printouts above show some of the early morning action in one Put series and in One Call series. What happened the next day? A slight rebound with next to no traders trying to capitalize on a rebound. What does this tell ...
