Vinfast and Nio

"Vinfast" blogs tend to cause a spike in readership. The last blog I did on VinFast was back on April 1st last year entitled " Another Blog on "Vinfast". At that time the stock was trading at $4.70. Now it's at $4.54 up $.44 cents on the day.The company seems to have strong backers with 2.34 billion shares outstanding with 97% of them held by insiders. That gives them the ability to control the stock's price. The second company I want to talk about is "Nio". The last blog I did on Nio was back on March 10th called "Nio, Could This Be The Real Thing". Nio at that time was trading at $5.69. Before that I did a blog on it on February 5th entitled "What do you think is going to happen to "NIO" On The Opening". The stock at that time was trading at $4.71. It has 2.53 billion shares outstanding with 0% owned by insiders and 14.8% owned by institutions. In contrast Ford has about 4 billion shares outstanding however they...

Boeing Calls Again. The Day After It's Earnings Release.

Another name for this blog could be "Boeing On The Day After One Big Crash". If you recall Boeing had earnings come out yesterday and the stock jumped on the opening and then sank as the day progressed. Boeing is struggling to get itself back upwards after a couple of years of brutal earnings reports. Here now is its five day chart as of the close on Wednesday. It's earning report came out on Tuesday July 29th.
Now it's one day chart on July 30th which is also the last day of the five day chart shown above.
So one question to now rehash is how do we explain Boeing jumping up in price within seconds of the market opening after it earnings report came out? Look at the actual first few minutes of trading. Here is a chart below showing this action.
Boeing jumped up and then sold off quickly. In the late afternoon the stock took a grubbing. That's what the chart below shows.
Can you feel the panic in the air as the afternoon dragged on? Traders where happy to see the day come to an end. The overnight break allowed for change in sentiment and resulted with buyers jumping in on the opening with a bottom fishing mentality. The stock surged upwards five dollars, to a level still ten dollars below it's previous days high. Look at the chart below to see how the Calls jumped up at the start of the day.
My point is that Boeing came back to life on the morning after the day of the big fall. Sure it later cooled off (and the Puts kicked back to life). Smart traders getting in about ten minutes after the opening enjoyed a nice thirty minute ride. It was all in the charts. Boeing as of late haas created many playable option opportunities.

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...
