Boeing Got Messed Up In It's Earning Report.

Boeing released quarterly earnings today. The stock got smoked. Now it's three month and one month charts. What was the bad news today? Could this be one of those bad news is actually good news situations? Afterall, Boeing keeps on pumping out more airplanes. The problem is they keep losing big money. That's a big problem. All I know is here is how this one series of Friday Call options are trading at the close of Wednesday's session. To me they are far to expensive. It might take some time to shake off this bad news syndrome. Now this on Thursday morning. Remember the 212.50 Calls we were looking at? They got smoked. Now with one day to go these options have popped up on the radar screen. The 205 Calls when Boeing is at $206.61. Charts like this usually end up going sideways or slightly down for the rest of the day. Here they are again 31 minutes later later. At this point in time charts like this do turn around. Might this be an opportunity to consider? Conside...

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...

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

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...

Another Blog On "Vinfast"

Image
There is so much to read about this companies history online. Do your own homework. Their success is not dependent on what ends up happening with their sales in North America. They are nimble. There are plenty of auto factories all over the world now for sale they can acquire. They have dabbled in Australia. Having access to money to keep going doesn't seem to be their problem. Rivian also seems to enjoy this advantage. Vinfast is currently building a new plant in India which could employ thousands of people. That's an emerging new market. New relationships are being built and new investors will be coming onboard. Are option players looking at this stock? Not really if we look at these "one-month-out" Calls. What about Calls further out? What about next January? Here is a look at the three and four series of Calls. Nobody seems willing to bet Vinfast Calls. Now this. Here are two snippets taken from a blog I wrote about this stock back in early December of 2024. ...

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 ...
