Option Trading Strategies To Avoid.

Ford Call Options on A Monday morning that expire at the end of the week. Had you bought the Calls on it on Friday morning that expired that afternoon you would have made out very well. Here is what Ai says. Now this, the 12 series of Calls options on a Monday morning that expire at the end of the week. They took a slight dip. Here is it's Monday morning chart. Here is a look at the same options twenty one minutes later. Traders have bought in on this dip. Is this trading strategy, buying this weeks Calls on a Monday morning on a stock hitting a fifty-two week high a prudent thing to be doing? Is this a question of coming to the party to late? This is the concern. Why not purchase instead "in-the-money-Calls" with one month's trading life in them to go? That would be a safer strategy. Their next earnings report comes out on October 27th. Here is how other stocks are trading. It's a mixed bag. So now it becomes a waiting game and this is why I called this ...

Towards Understanding The Usefullnes Of Long Term Call Options

Why are we looking at this? Well can you see how Ford was trading at $10.00 only five days ago. If it ever rebounded back up to that level in the next couple of days or weeks these options would probabaly jump up twenty percent. In other words, "one-year-out" Call options on stocks in this price range offer amazing leverage. The fact that they are one year out doesn't rule out the possibilty that you could be "in-and-out" of them with a decent profit in a relatively short period of time. On a differing note, options on stocks in the five dollar range can sometimes suprise. Here is a stock I talked about before it had some big moves.
For now, stay clear of all Moderna and Eli Lilly Call and Put options. That plus learn to appreciate that long term options can be used for short term gains. *** The same Ford Calls the very next day on the opening.
Now here they are two days later.
Here they are again. This time ten days later.
Look at the one day volume pour into them. Something has changed in the auto building industry to make this light turn green! Once again, long tern options on Ford can be an amazing trading vehicle.

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 ...
