Walmart "Last- Day-To Expiry- Puts " At 11:15 A.M. On A Friday Morning

It's a friday and these Call options expire today. Here are how it's one day Puts are trading. At 11:15 a.m. these puts are "in-the-money". Now it's one day and five day chart. .... Doesn't it look like it's one day chart is going to run out of steam? Now let's look at how the stock ended up trading on the day. It looks like the stock basically traded sideways for the rest of the day however it really didn't. It has it's ups and downs. The little red line shows the action in the Put prices on the day. Had you bought the Puts at $.44 per contract (or $44.00 dollars) at 11:15 a.m. you could have sold them out at 12:08 p.m. for $1.66 a contract, at 1:26 p.m. for $1.42 a contract or at 2:56 p.m. (four minutes before the 3:00 p.m. sellout deadline) for $1.35 a contract! What amazing gains compared to the five days of drama found in my previous blog about trading drone options with one week of trading life left in them. Interday price swings on ...

Livewire - It Appears Investors Are Now Giving Up.... Yet On Light Volume Of Trading..

Electric motorcycles - what a great concept. A blast to drive. But wait. They are not really practical because of their range and they are terribly expensive to purchase. Yet if a person had lots of money, a three or four car garage and two or three motorcycles already in it then why not add one of these models to your collection to spice up the mix? Why wait, why not buy one now? One question lingers in the air. Would buying one of this year's models be a trap knowing that next years model or the model the year after that might cost slightly less and most likely to be both superior in design and offer additional driving range? (current mixed use riding is 152 km and more if just in the city). As an example it was announced back in January that another new model was being offered to their product lineup. Maybe adding new models way to add creditability to the voyage they now find themselves on.
If anyone is going to build one, who is it going to be? Harley Davidson would seem to be the obvious answer? The wheels now appear to be falling off this dream because their sales numbers over the last few years have not gained traction. Is now the time to give up coast a little bit to burn lass mony? They really can't give up, if they did it would discredit their reputation. If the range that these bikes were to suddenly quadruple or more then they would sell like hotcakes. If we can send spaceships to the moon, why can't we add more punch to a battery? It takes someone like Harley Davidson who has a vested interest in this space to try and make this happen. Well it's Livewire, not Harley Davidson who is trying to do this but for all intensive purposes the two are the same. Watch now what is happening.
Now a five day chart.
Now a three year chart.
Investors after a long ride seem to be throwing in the towel. Would I be buying long term Calls options on it looking for a rebound? No, there are better things to look at doing. That plus there there is zero interest in playing them. Here are two examples of what I am talking about.
All the while the world is waking up to electric scooters. Amazon is now offering some for $329.00 with free delivery. No one likes owning stocks which are in a state of decline.

A Fireside Chat - One Year Options and Thirty Day Options. Which is Better?

Image
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 ...
