Get Ready For A Slug Of New Earning Reports

The stock Ford reports 7/30/2025 (Post-Market). In a July 2nd blog I did Ford talked about their June sales. Here is something I posted in that blog. Ford jumped $.50 cents on news of an increase in sales and this is how this one series of Calls (which were "out-of-the-money" with one day to go) jumped. This upward moment in price was like an once in a 100 day occurance. So will earning's be good this quarter? Has Ford's recent good news story now lost it's importance. It's only natural to be forward thinking. General Motors has earning report coming out before the market opens this Tuesday. The two stocks sometimes reflect the same market momentim. G.M. seems to have a lot of inventory sitting on dealer lots and popular You Tube scream that the car industry is now about to crash. Here is how things for G.M. are lined up to go. It's stock had the jutters all week. Investors are getting tired of hearing about consumers buying new at pre-tariff pricings...

Options on Five Dollar Stocks Can Surprise! HSAI

I have talked about this stock before (Hesai Group) and this morning it suprised again. Back on May 17th I did a blog on it called "A New Company To Learn About". Now lets look at it's current five day chart leading up to this morning.
Look at yesterdays volume pour into it. Now this mornings early action. Another spike in volume on the opening.
What's all the excitement about this morning?
If you don't know this company here is what they do.
Now back to my May 17th blog. Where were the five series of Calls on it trading back then which expire in January 2025? Here is how this same series of Calls is trading now.
No one had any interest in them. The bid and ask where crazy far apart. The option makers were burdened by making option markets for a stock with not much of an option trading history. The worry aferall is that a stock like this could double or tank overnight on news. Any stock could but more often it happens in this price range. Why would I say this? Well stocks in the $5.00 range are not penny stocks and are not likely to drop to zero overnight. With good news and a story that is for real they can sometimes pleasantly suprise. Here they are now.
So what happened today on November 27Th. Here now is its current five day chart and todays action in the 5 series of Call options on them that expire on Dec24, 2024.
Thursday was Thanksgiving and the markets were closed. This particular series of Calls still have a month to go. Trading volumes on Friday, the day after are usually expected to be somewhat subdued. Here is what happened to HSAI
This kind of upward action can't last forever. Options on stocks in the 5 dollar range can suprise.
