Deere and Caterpillar End of the Week Profit Taking

Thirty five minutes into the trading action and here is what is happening. The 400 series of Puts on it are up 367%. The 405 puts are up 920%. They closed the previous day at .51 cents. Volumes of trading are light. Traders are not taught to trade in one day options and for all the hype about Ai trading no inroads have being made in this regard which is something I find strange. What value has Trump added to these two stocks this week? None really. So why such extreme forward looking thinkings? It's 10:28 a.m. so we are still in the first hour of trading. These options expire at 3:30 p.m. so there is still four hours of trading life in them and the Djia is up 239 points. Is it now time to catch a rebound? Maybe. Well maybe only to those traders who caught the selloff and profited this morning. Yet then again one would be fighting thinnly traded Calls and Puts both on the buy side and on the sell side.

Ford Calls on a Friday when the DJAI jumps over 500 Points on the Day

First, back on May 14th I posted a blog entitled Ford Puts - sometimes they will Suprise. This blog is the reserverse of that action. First it's Friday May 31st and here is how the DJIA closed the day.
The stock Ford had a good day. Here is it's one day chart.
Let's now look at the 11.5 series of Calls that expired today.
Now let's look at the 12 series of Calls, that's where the real action was.
It's difficult to see the last little colored chart but basically the twelve series of options got off to a slow morning start and then picked up steam as the markets rallied in the afternoon. $100.00 Call options in would have returned $1,500. I have talked about Ford options before and the concept of playing these penny like short term options. It's a game that has being going on for years. If all of this is to rich for your blood the next week options also had impressive afteroon gains. It's not every Friday the D.J.A.I jumps over 500 points. That's what it takes to make this kind of action happen. It's not rocket scientist stuff.
* Ford traded down three cents on the week.
