One Day Boeing Puts On A Friday

I realize that this type of a blog has a limited appeal. A blog about watching option positions move on a minute to minute basis. Now let's learn how it went for Boeing Puts today. It's 9:56 a.m. Now it's five day chart. This is where it will get interesting. Notice it has a rebound off a soft opening? Traders who used the 212.50 series of Calls on Boeing's soft opening were already well rewarded. Only 121 contracts traded during that period of time Here is what the indexes are doing. So that's it. You could wager $100.00 U.S. plus commisions for one Put contract (the 215 seriess of Puts that expire in the afternoon), or multiples thereof and walk away for an hour or two. It's a bet on your abilities to recognize chart formations. Now this. If you bought in and a small gain materializes in a matter of minutes do you take it? Sorry. It's now 10:46 a.m. There is no gain. That opportunity never presented itself. In fact these $1.00 Puts we were once excited...

The Power Of "Out-Of-The-Money" Boeing Calls On A Monday Morning.

Boeing on the opening.
So did the DJIA.
Now two series of Boeing calls on the opening. 1)
2)
This doesn't happen like this very often. Now the DJIA at 10:45 a.m.
Boeing was in a freefall in the first hour of trading and the 247.50 calls slipped down to $20.00 per contract. Shortly thereafter they were back up to.$2.61 per contract, more than a tenfold increase. Boeing did get a lot of new contracts last week. Boeing is a stock some option players buy into with one week options at 3:39:55 pm. on Friday afternoons. Now this, a near end of day update on Boeing. It has continued to hold it's gain. Here is it's one day chart as of 3:33 p.m.
Now a look at the 237.50 Calls.
It's path for the Calls for the remainer of the week is not as exciting as this morning's move.

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 ...

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...

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...
