Can You Play The Dips On $10.00 Drone Stocks With One Week to Go?

First off why would you want to? It's Monday morning. This is going to be a long and super speculative blog which has somehow caught my attention. Please try and get through it. Let's start by looking at these three drone stocks and looking at how their one week to expiracy options are trading. Most drone stocks don't really yet make any money but the world is waking up to recognizing their usefulness when it comes to military fighting. There is a lot of competition in this industry as many countries make drones. Trumph has helped to bump up the values of all North Americian companies making drones especially in the first half of this year. It's all kind of a guessing game as to who the winners and losers are going to be. In the last few days a rough patch in the trading patterns of a drone stocks is causing some alarm. 1) First a company called Red Cat. Google it. Here are two series of their Call options. Five days ago this stock hit $12.00. Now it's selling of...

Waste Management Again

Last Friday I did a blog on Waste Managemnet showing how it closed strong on the day. I showed how it's Call options also got dragged up and my point was that two week out options are sometimes a sweet spot in the market. Here was it's one day trading chart on Friday.
So this morning, a Monday morning I checked it out once again. Here is how it was trading.
Now let's skip ahead to the end of the day. Here is how the same Calls are trading.
So in two trading sessions they went from a low of $3.43 up to $5.60 with no thoughts about "time-value" working against you. Here now is it's five day chart.
Option trading doesn't always have to be about making "all or nothing" trades. *** Earnings came out.
This is a good example of pre-earning option trading. Here is how they closed the day.
** Look at the hit it took on the splke down when it's earnings were released. Someone was waiting for that to happen. Now the stock will be going into neutral trading territory.

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. ...

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 ...
