Costco. It's Short Term Options

 Options on stocks in the $1,000  range often move  50%  or more in only a matter of  minutes on the opening on Wednesday and Thursday's . The trick is to  anticipate correctly which way the markets are going to move. That's a fools game you might say? Yes and no. It may not be a game you ever play but it might be something to consider to put in your bag of tricks when you are on a role. One thousand dollar stocks sometimes move five, ten or fifteen dollars on the day. If you have profits it's best to take them quickly. Costco is a prime example of that. Let's look at this mornings action. First it's five day and one day charts. Tuesday's trading was kind of choppy. Might it drop on the opening tomorrow? Here is a look at where the 1,035 series of Puts closed that expire this Friday. They closed at $8.50. It looks like Costco cycled up about five times yesterday. Given a weak market opening doesn't it stand to reason a three or four or five dollar will be i...

Boeing - A One Day Chart That I Now Like / Boeing and Deere

Here is is.
Why do I like this chart? It spiked on high volume in the morning and volume came into it on the close. So here is what I did. If you see charts like this you could be also be doing this. On a cautionary note Boeing has hit a rough patch as of late but this trade might be good for a one dollar profit. If it happens take the money and run. If you miss a four dollar move to the upside so what. Here is a fill at 3:37 p.m. on a Tuesday which I could have got for less a few minutes later. I bought one contract for $2.01 or two hundred and one dollars.
Here is Boeing's five day chart of torture.
What might happen? Could it stumble on the morning trying to get fresh legs? Maybe. Here it is at noon the next day.
Here is what I did. (I am trying to show first time option traders the sizes of trades they can do). Remember I said that I got in at 201.00? A $2.42 price happened at 11:12 a.m. which was the time when I got out. It's American money. (Look at the chart and see how I was lucky to get out).
What next? Today is now Wednesday which is a good day for mid week reversals. Into Deere I went in the smallest of ways. You could be doing this too. Here is my "in-add-out trade". I am not proud of it but Deere options often blow up..
In at 12:27 p.m. and out at 1:05 p.m.. In at $300.00 and out at $350.00. Now watch this.
I missed this 2:00 p.m. action.
The Calls I sold at $350.00 then went on to trade as high as $755.00. I have talked about trading Deere Calls and Puts before. Wednesday's options that expire that Friday you can get you into some pretty good day trading opportunities.
