Ford Kind Of Threw A Curve Ball With The Release Of Their Quarterly Earning's Report

First here is how the stock traded on the week. It's not very often you see a chart that looks like this after a company comes out with a quarterly earning's report. One would expect that if a stock goes up on an earning's report it will usually stay up. How good was it's earning's report? Yet sales were down 8%. All the while something else had happened. A few days prior Ford made this remark. Details of what this all meant were somewhat vague. Is Ford going to start transitioning itself out of the automotive industry? During World War Two Ford started building airplanes called the B-24 Liberator after first building the "River Run Bomber Plant". When Ford starts to talk about building something new the entire world listens. Isn't it true that the stock Caterpillar has also hinted of following a new path diversification? Here is what I am talking about. This "Ford Energy" notion came out only days before their earning release news. Was ...

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.

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 ...

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...

News on Polestar , Lucid (Trading After A Reverse Stock Split) Plus Ford News And Vinfast

Image
Look at the one year chart on Polester. Now it's one month chart. What's going on? It's confusing. It was down $.36 cents on the week. If you want you can spend $.20 or $.25 on Puts and hope that the company goes under in the next five or six months. They recently raised more money by releasing more shares so it's running out of options. You can't run at a loss forever and this news will most likely scare off potential new car buyers. This actually is a low number of outstanding Put options. The consensus seems to be that it is not game over yet. Lucid started trading this week on a "one-for-ten" reverse stock split. Here is its one week chart. It was down $1.39 on the week. It's also going to struggle. Both of these stocks have challenges ahead. On a more positive note here is a chart that looks kind of perky. Ford on the week. The stock was down $.03 cents on the week and it was the 3th highest in share volume trading on the NYSE. It appears...
