Suspicions About Market Manipulations - Caterpillar Options On The Opening With Their Last Day To Expiring Options

Caterpillar executives take note. You have leeches using your companies stock to suck out money in a systematic way. Let me explain. It's ingenious what they are doing and at the same time somewhat laughable. In the next couple of paragraphs I am going to show you something that is going to change your thinkings of how you should be looking at the markets. Let's start with Caterpillar chart of last Thursday with Friday being Good Friday and a day the markets are closed. This makes them one day or last day to expiring options. What do you see? I see a stock that sold of on the morning and then rallied and then petered out the rest of the day. Nothing to out of the ordinary one might say. Now this. The low of the day was at exactly 9:45 a.m.. In a blog I did two days ago entitled "Caterpillar Puts On A Thursday Morning With Friday Being A Holiday" I was tracting the 720 series of Puts. Here is a printout I showed watching how they traded on the opening. The high for ...

"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...

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...
