A few carefully crafted sentences puts to rest all concerns going forward. Read them below. Or do they? What am I talking about? I am talking about managements response to how well they did in their last quarter of operations. The long awaited Deere quarterly earnings report was released this morning. In previous blogs we showed how crazy expensive the Calls and Puts where on it, in anticipation of this news.
So it's earnings are now published for all to read. It was announced that profits were down. Management basically says "so what". They also said in a round-about way that they were not going forward to be doing anything much differently. There were no apologies for a poor earnings report as if it was something to be expected. All of their comments seemed pretty chill. The stock went up. That's a pattern more common as of late.
So the Call options go crazy as you can see on the five day chart. Call option holders made money irrespective of how expensive they initially were to buy into. In the first fourteen minutes of trading this morning here is how the 500 series of Call options reacted.
But look at an open volume of only 541 contracts. That's really nothing. Think of that compared to the trading volumes in Tesla options. It's a different kind of trader who uses Deere as a trading vehicle. I would now want to mention my May 11th blog. In it the $392.50 Calls were under discussion. I often say that Deere options are to difficult to play, mostly because they are so expensive. What action! Now it's five day and thirty day charts.
I have often said I like thirty day moves on this stock. I don't know why it is trading this high.
