Options On A Six Dollar Stock That Can Surprise. A Five Day Journey Of Adventure ( Big Bear AI)

I have writen a few checky blogs recently about some relatively obsure company called Big Bear Ai. It does however sometimes make the list of the top most actively traded stock by share volume on the NYSE index. That's how I initially discovered it in the first place. It's a hot stock now but it six months time it may be long forgotten. Here is it's year to date chart. To today is a Monday and here is what it's chart looked like at one point last week when I said it could be a good time to catch the upside. As you can see in one of my last blogs the options on it more than doubled in price on the following day. This time the chart shows the same end of week bounce and a slight sell off this Monday morning. Could this be a good entry point? Monday morning sell-offs may linger, longer than one would think. Now this two hours later. Little has changed. They closed the day at $.31. Playing options on six dollar stocks is not always a walk in the park. Now it's Tues...

Five Dollar Options. Hertz

Image
The stock Hertz, the car rental company. First it's "year-to-date-chart" and a it's "three month chart". The three-month-chart looks slightly better. In the last couple of weeks it hasn't done very much. It did however have a big jump about six weeks ago. What do I know about this company? Nothing much but the car rental business could be kind of slow because fewer tourists are visiting the U.S. and with all of the U.S. governments slashing of services fewer government employees are using car rentals services. That plus there was a big mix up a liitle while back where Hertz went all in on Tesla vehicles and ended up dumping them and taking a bath. Now this. On a different note Carvana jumped $48.21 today. The used car market seems to soldier on with some people buying used rather than new because everything costs so much. Used car prices still remain high. So here is the deal. This stock could jump up but who knows when. Here is the five series of Her...

Five Day vs One Day Charts. Do Looking A Five Day Charts Give Traders An Edge On What To Expect On The Following Day?

Image
Here are three examples that might help answer this question. Yet we are not talking about any five day period. We are talking about a five day period with the last day in that week being a Friday. That's the day of the week when many options series expire. First a look at a five day and one day chart of Home Depot. So a perky looking chart formation which is going upwards on a Thursday (Dec 5th) keeps on going upwards on a Friday. Look at one series of it's Call option action below. Very light trading and very little interest. Get in on the upside during the morning small dip on Friday morning and get out at a profit anytime later in the day. Sticking with Home depot did it's one week out Call options share in a similiar Call option experience? Here are next weeks Calls with the same striking price. Not really as they jumped 26% on the day versus the 68% increase on the "one-day" options. ...........................................................................

How To Be A Better Short Term Costco Option Player.

Image
Let's start by saying it's 3:00 p.m. on Thursday and I am going to talk about the big sell off that Costco experienced this morning. There was news on it that seemed to take some time to be disceminated. I tried looking for what the news was all about in the first hour of trading and couldn't find any. As it turned out it was the "regular-stuff" type of news like last month's retail food sales or something like that. Everyone listening to this type of news seem to have their own slant as to what is happening. For many people this news is not that important. Costco often releases news like this. Sometime shareholders get stressed and bail. Why wait around to see if it only gets worse? There are always sharks out there waiting to nibble at falling prices. In the early few minutes of trading this morning the average retail trader had no knowledge as to what this news was all about. Opening markets started to tumble. This sometimes happens. If you're a frequ...

Another Attempt To Explain Exxon Options.

Image
There are times I feel safer playing Exxon options than I do playing options on other stocks. Why? Well today this happened and the options didn't move all that much. What the heck was all that stuff? It was information that flows. It's humbling to read it. There are so many parts in motion which somehow mesh together to create Exxon's price at any one momeent. What I like about trading Exxon is that when it moves, it moves quickly. That plus when it does move the options on them move a chunk at a time. That can be a good thing. Here is Exxon's five day chart. It's had some recent really big moves. I picked something difficult. Two series of options on Exxon that expire at 3:00 p.m. tomorow. Here is how they closed today, a Thursday. Let's be clear. This is not a situation I would like to be in. Which way is the stock going to move on the opening? I note that there are four times more Calls outstanding than there are Puts. It's not uncommon to see thin...
