Boeing" And "Tesla" On A Nervous Opening. Both Are Worth Watching

Boeing's chart. It's Calls that expire this Friday. A flat five minutes on the opening. Tesla, now 24 minutes into the opening is also deciding what it wants to do in this space. The Tesla Calls expire tomorrw while the Boeing Calls don't expire for four days. Here now is a look at the Tesla Calls with the same striking price which expire this Friday. They cost more than double to purchase however this printout is 25 minutes later after the stock has rebonded over $3.00. What attracts me to these two situations? First they both dropped a chunk in price on the previous day. Boeing has a cloud over it's head with rising oil prices and concerns about the debt the country is piling up on defense spending and Tesla is caught up in SpaceX coming soon news which is getting a lot of attention. It's a case of buying on the dips and discounting the possibilities of the bottom falling out of both of these stocks. Now a 10:30 a.m. look at these same Boeing and Tesla options...

Netflix. Options On Stocks Trading over $1,200.00. Fighting Strong Stocks

Let's start with this on a Monday opening.
Now it's thirty day chart.
The DJIA was up over 700 points on Friday and Netflix didn't share in that rally on that day. This morning it jumped up at the same time the DJIA was down slightly an hour into the trading session.
Now the price of these Puts which expire this Friday. Today is a Monday and it's 11:25 a.m. and Netflix is way up. They are affordable given they match the price that the stock is currently trading at.
I wouldn't play Netflix options towards the end of the week (like Wednesday to Friday) because you will get smoked if you pick the wrong direction, however on Monday after a pop in a slightly down market it is a call to action. Netfix was playing catch up to the rest of the markets on the opening and suddenly it was evident the stock was moving in the wrong direction. Now shown below is it's closing price with the stock down over nine dollars from where it's price was back at 11:25 a.m..
Now it's closing one day chart.
.................
Why Netflix didn't bounce upwards on last Friday's rally is something that I don't know. Today the DJIA was down over 300 points. *** Playing the upside on Tuesday created the same kind of opportunity.

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...
