Caterpillar - Catching A Reversal On A Tuesday

Tuesdays are not the best of days to look for reversals however Caterpillar jumped a modest amount which impacted the value of this series of Puts. This is a 1:36 p.m. readout. Here is it's five day chart. Now its one day chart. It would seem like kind of a random thing to do and why fight a strong stock? One reason is that the markets are only mildly up and could give back some of it's gains before the end of the day. Caterpillar could be gaining strenght based on last weeks articles talking about how Caterpillar could potential gain from this new AI movement. Notice that the five day chart is in an uptrend and notice the small open interest numbers in the Puts. No one wants to hold Puts on Caterpillar when it is in this uptrend. Could it has a soft selloff in the next two hours? Here it is now 50 minutes later. The "bid and ask" are almost unchanged. There is also not much change in the DJIA index.Now this.

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.
