Boeing "Near-To-The-Money" Options Baffles Me On A Friday Morning.

After a four day period of intense price changes for the stock Boeing on Friday morning presents itself as trading in a sea of calm. It's trading flat. Here is it's daily price swings over the previous four days. $5.50, $4:10, $6.00 and $5.40. One has to wonder whether or not these large daily price movements are somehow formulated into providing the Friday morning's "bids and ask". They should be. The reason I mention this is that the Friday morning's "bids and ask" in the first few hours of trading look particularly inexpensive to me. Is it because there are no scheduled press happening today? .. Now a 12:33 p.m. price check. With stock trading flat and with a couple of hours of trading life still left in these options, couldn't the stock drop down or go up another three or four dollars? That's what seems to have happened over the week. .......... Now this at the end of the trading session. At 3:00 p.m., the time these options expired ...

How Was Your Week Trading The Market?

With all the ups and downs it's hard to figure out what is going on. Look at these three stocks and the options on two of them. 1) Chargepoint. One series of calls on Chargepoint went up 58% yesterday in one day. It was a strong day for the markets.
2) Blink
Here are it's recent numbers and the company is big on self promotion.
The third stock I want to comment on is one called Wallbox. First a five day chart and then later a 'year-to-date chart'. I am not crazy about this stock because of the trading range it seems to be stuck in. It will only take off if it survives and starts to make money. Do your own research on this one. WallBox also scares me because of it's Barcelona" address. If it ends up merging with someone else you will be lucky to get your money back. My ongoing interest all three of these stocks is that the "range anxiety issue" that consumers seem to have for electric vehicles is slowly starting to go away. Even Trumph is now thinking that going "partially" electric is O.K...

Waiting For A Drop On The Opening On Bad News - Eli Lilly

Image
Here is the bad news. The company is Eli Lilly. How bad is this news? Well look at it trading in the premarkets. So what do I think? I think the news is a setback of sorts, but not really all that bad. The stock is going to open lower, that's a given. It's like trying to play Boeing after an announcement that an airplane has crashed. So the stock is going to crash and it might have a small rebound and then it's going to slide down some more. A test of sorts will happen sometime in the afternoon. It might stock falling but then where will it go from there? The best case scenario is a recognition that investors got it all wrong and the stock ends up flat on the day. Yet there might be more of a downward dumping of the stock on the close followed by a selloff on tomorrows opening. Should option players be jumping in to play the upside on next week's Calls? That is the question. Here is a look at Boeing on the days after a crash. Day two after the crash was equally as ...

News on Polestar , Lucid (Trading After A Reverse Stock Split) Plus Ford News And Vinfast

Image
Look at the one year chart on Polester. Now it's one month chart. What's going on? It's confusing. It was down $.36 cents on the week. If you want you can spend $.20 or $.25 on Puts and hope that the company goes under in the next five or six months. They recently raised more money by releasing more shares so it's running out of options. You can't run at a loss forever and this news will most likely scare off potential new car buyers. This actually is a low number of outstanding Put options. The consensus seems to be that it is not game over yet. Lucid started trading this week on a "one-for-ten" reverse stock split. Here is its one week chart. It was down $1.39 on the week. It's also going to struggle. Both of these stocks have challenges ahead. On a more positive note here is a chart that looks kind of perky. Ford on the week. The stock was down $.03 cents on the week and it was the 3th highest in share volume trading on the NYSE. It appears...

A Fireside Chat - One Year Options and Thirty Day Options. Which is Better?

Image
Some say to think small, not big. Trying to play Disney options is thinking big. It is a stock slightly out of favor. If we start with it's a three year chart, we will see it is down by about 50% over that period of time. Now it's one year chart. If the stock can break 110 in early 2024 the sky is the limit. It does have a lot of moving parts so anything could happen. Look at these Calls options one year out. One year in options buys a lot of time.They look reasonable. If the stock ever inched up to the $105.00 price level in the three or four months these options would jump up in price by about 50%. Even more if they had really good news. Yet it's the "what-if" aspect of the equation that castes such a trade in doubt. "What if" stories just don't cut it. There are to many variables in play. Then again, why are we even thinking of long-term Call options after a December's rally? Let's switch gears. If consumers are out spending for X-ma...
