Livewire - Again

 From the verge of extinction to new life. It all happen with a few sentences offering guidance. One dollar to three dollars in a couple of days. Management is guilty doing a terrible marketing job over the last few years. But wait. It was public news that a police department was experimenting with their electric bikes. If nothing else they would be a moral builders to the lucky cops who got to play on them. I followed this situation but stayed away. One dollar stocks are dangerous. Now here is it's three year chart. While the companies fortunes may be changing I still will be staying away. I missed the boat. That's life. Here is one look at one series of it's next week options. The ramifications of this event is taking a few days to unfold. It can't keep going up this much every day yet some traders are willing to take the risk.

Monday Morning April 7th

1) Had you bought Puts on the close on Friday on Tesla you would now be up 95% in nine minutes.
2) Had you bought Puts on Eli Lilly on Friday at the close you would now be up 162%.
3) Had you bought Puts on Home Depot on the close last Friday you would be up 85%
4) Had you bought Puts on Caterpillar on the close you would be up 100%
5) Had you bought Puts on Costco on the close, you would be uo 105%.
Does it feel like you are always one step behind all the action? Can you now gamble on Eli Lilly to play the upside? If you read my last blog that was one of the few stocks that rebounded a touch interday on last Fridays slide. Maybe if you catch it right.
Buy stocks if you like them at these prices but its not a good week to be dancing around trying to play Calls. The action in option trading for retail option players will intensify towards the end of the week when the time value built in premiums on short term options that expire in a day or two subsides. Those will be the days to make shooting for the sky trades. *** Tesla had a bit of a rebound in the first 25 minutes and nimble options players could have caught a rebound. These ones can back $7.50. It takes a magician to catch these kinds of trades.
Now back to Eli Lilly. It bounced $60.00 in 43 minutes.
