The Sliding Door Syndrome - Hertz

 Open the door and guess what might happen? Who knows which way the winds will be blowing. The used auto car market got dumped on last week in the U.S, especially on tariffs new.  Trump said he might raise the tariffs on cars to more than 25%. It's a fickled  market. Here are a few of the sell offs. 1) Carvana Company. It sold off over $21.00 dollars on the day last Friday. They have a reputation for having share manipulations with a long history of  insider "buying-and selling-activities". They have a short interest of 5.3% . It didn't help much that the DJIA was down over 700 points on Friday. 2} Carmax also sold off on the week. They have an earnings report coming out and that could cause the stock to drop but maybe not. It could actually rally. Here is it's one week chart and a conference call dial in number. Listen to it if you like. I might be. Now here is a look at the 65 series of Calls on this stock that expire this coming Friday.  On Friday morning at ...

Robinhood . With The Stronger Markets As Of Late It Has Had A Good Run

Robinhood is outperforming the markets. Here is it's one day and ninety day charts.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
There is news about something happening which will positive for brokeage companies. Here it is.
Robinhood was down in the pre-markets but up on the day. The "Genius" Act is coming. If it was going to be passed tomorrow this stock would have jumped up more than it did. Let's start to watch these Puts and the trading action in Robinhood to try to outguess what might happen next. Here is where these slightly "in-the-money" Puts that expire this week closed today, a Monday.
If the DJIA jumps on the opening and Robinhood gains a bit I would be looking at the Puts on the opening of trading looking for a short term reversal. I wouldn't be looking at the 65 "in-the-money" Puts but rather the 64 series of Puts. But wait, Tuesday is my least favorite day of the week to be looking at options that expire in four days on Fridays. Wednesdays are better days which often come with mid week market resets. Now here is it's five day chart.
It's not that I like fighting strong stocks. It's more that everything has jumped upwards in price since last Thursday. This stock is as good as any if we are looking for a slight reversal. Let's see if this one loses some of it's steam. Tuesday morning. It's the 64 series of Puts which are of interest. Eight minutes into the market and things are down a touch.
Look at Robinhood. It has not changed in price from the previous day!
So now what? Here is how the 64 series of Puts are trading at 9:40 a.m. on a fair number of contracts. The stocks is up 3 cents on the day.
These pricings are now less expensive. Would this now be a good time to jump in? Moving forwrd again. It's 10:10 a.m. Not much has changed. Can you see how day trading can be exhausting?
Trouble at 10:45 a.m.
Now 11:10 a.m.
The volume keeps pouring into these Puts with most traders wanting to be out by the end of the day. Now a 2:13 p.m. update. Things are quiet and looking for direction.
Now this.
One final chart on how Robinhood closed the day. Now Wednesday.

This ride is not fun because many traders are now trained lol to  buy on the dips. If there is profit to be made on a Thursday morning just take it. There are always more opportunities to come. Friday. This entire blog has being  tough slug. Bitcoin made a strong move upwards which is something I didn't  see coming.
Now a Friday 12:45p.m. look at the 64 series of Puts. Is there still hope?

The stock is down $1.32 on the day.
