Five Day vs One Day Charts. Do Looking A Five Day Charts Give Traders An Edge On What To Expect On The Following Day?

Here are three examples that might help answer this question. Yet we are not talking about any five day period. We are talking about a five day period with the last day in that week being a Friday. That's the day of the week when many options series expire. First a look at a five day and one day chart of Home Depot. So a perky looking chart formation which is going upwards on a Thursday (Dec 5th) keeps on going upwards on a Friday. Look at one series of it's Call option action below. Very light trading and very little interest. Get in on the upside during the morning small dip on Friday morning and get out at a profit anytime later in the day. Sticking with Home depot did it's one week out Call options share in a similiar Call option experience? Here are next weeks Calls with the same striking price. Not really as they jumped 26% on the day versus the 68% increase on the "one-day" options. ...........................................................................

"Draganfly" And Options On Stocks In The $4.00 to $8.00 Range

The drone business. A number of players are in this space and it's difficult to differentiate which companies are stronger than others. Many are still a few years away from making any money. All of them are attracting an inordinate amount of attention as of late. Things got really crazy in many of these stocks about two months ago. How their products are used in wars is something everyone now knowns. Bigger companies like Toyota are buying stakes in drone companies or doing joint ventures with them. Who are going to be the winners?
This three year chart looks interesting because you can see the volume of trading in it increasing significantly in recent times. Here is it's three month chart. Is it ready for a takeoff?
This particular series of Calls shown below keeps you in the game until next year. That'a a good thing. Options on this stock are set up as follows. Striking prices are $2.50, $5.00 and $7.50 and are staggered in one month intervals. Here is how one series of Calls is now trading.
These options actually buy you a lot of time. Here are two other companies in this price range and what their Januuary 2026 options are now trading at. First Nio.
2) Hetz
Now a look at how the options of two stocks in the $4.00 -$8.00 range traded this morning. These are one week until expiring options which are more dangerous. 1) Livewire
They doubled on the opening. Now Quantumscape.
Up over 600% on the opening. The stakes are high and the rewards can be even higher. It's your call. Now more about the drone industry.
******* Another suprise. This is one day later.

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...

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 ...

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. ...
