FORD AND EARNING'S

The chart. People need to buy cars and trucks to keep things going. That plus they are expensive. Here is how two series of this weeks Calls traded.... I do lot's of blogs on Ford. Where you smart enough to pick up yesterday at the close some of the 13 series of Calls on Ford which expire this Friday? Look above at their percentage gain on the day. * ** Nio also had a somewhat similar gain on the day. What a day for Ford Call Option players.

The Power Of "Three-Day-Out" Puts On Four Stocks That In The Last Five Trading Sessions Have Outperformed The Markets

If we look at the stock Carvana from a five or ten day persective that's not really enough time to get a full understanding of why the stock is trading the way it is. First a look at it's one month chart.
Now a five day chart. On average it's up about five dollars a day.
It kind of makes you wonder when you can start to play the downside. Now Netflix, a five day chart. It's the same thing, it's up over $75.00 in five trading sessions.
We can't forget Tesla, it's up fifty dollars in five days.
Boeing also got sucked into the upward draft as it had a few bits of good news like a government contract for new planes. This stock has also jumped in price.
Had any option player tried to fight any of these stocks using Puts as a trading vehicle in the last five days they would have quite simply gotten smashed. Is there any reasons to now think its time to play the next three days of market trading looking for some downside action? Wednesdays are afterall days of market reversals? Here are the prices of slightly "out-of-the money" Puts on these four stocks which expire this Friday going into the opening bell on Wednesday morning. I have no clue what is going to happen. Let's watch an see what happens.

It should be interesting to see what happens. Now this, a look at the first three stocks in the first twenty-three minutes of trading. The D.J.I.A is up but not these first three stocks.
These options have jumped 70% in about twenty-three minutes. ...........................
These options have jumped about 53% in twenty-three minutes......................
These options have jumped about 51% in twenty-three minutes. The Boeing options have not really moved.
. Wednesday mornings are sometimes like this. This is the first twenty two minute time period in the last five days of trading that any of these Puts options have increased in value. In option trading timing is everything. ** the closing readings.
With things like this happening more option chatter like this needed.

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...
