Deere Jumped. A Once In A Year Jump. Boy Did It Jump.

If it jumped this much can you purchase a Put $8.69 "out-of-the-money" at 10:09 a.m. shown below that expires tomorrow in the hopes that some of the froth comes out of this stock? How do you jump in to play the downside with any confidence? Is a reversal imminent? It becomes a question of waiting it out to see when it tops out. There are other stocks we can look at for guidance in what to expect. The entire trading community has their eyes on this situation. When G.M. had an earnings report release back about three weeks ago the stock jumped something like four or five dollars and then hung in at that higher level for an extended period of time. Here is a chart showing that situation. Once Deere stops going up is it going to linger sideways for a while? Probably not. It's not like the company suddenly discovered gold. They make tractors. It's kind of a boring business. Let's find out. It's now noon. Suprisingly Caterpillar is not jumping up in sympathy. W...

"Hesai Group" - "Nio" - " Xpeng" Hot Stocks In A Bad Market

Read my May 17 th blog about "Hesai". Back then it was $5.00 per share. Now this. Today it jumped 50%.
What has happened. Here is the news.
My focus back then was buying Calls on five dollar stocks. Now this. Last week Nio was the fourth most actively traded stock on the NYSE. It closed at $4.47 up .23 on the week. Here Tuesday is how it traded on the day. (I am showing a five day chart).
Now this. "Xpeng".
Now back to "Nio". Is it to late to get into it now? Not really, here is it's three year chart.
What's really dangerous are the Call options on it that expire this Friday.
I would have more faith in these ones. They expire in January.
China is on fire when it comes to E.V. sales. ::::::: An end of April update.
Now Nio.

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...

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. ...
