The Topic of Tesla Jumping On A Friday Morning

Why am I often talking about playing Tesla options with one day of trading life remaining in them. Well the Call and Put options on this stock hava a recent a history of pleasing it's followers. What are the odds of sizeable jumps happening? I would suggest more often than you think. Jumps in the first hour of trading can be large. That' a given. Are you able to make money trading these hot potatoes? Yes and no. The concepts of fear and greed come into play. Here is how it jumped in price on Friday morning June 26th . First it opened lower. The time to buy in was in the very first minute of trading. It topped out at 11:30 a.m. That was a huge increase in price. Then between 11:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. it lost $7.00. Here is a better look at this action. . . Other stocks may also have interesting Friday trading patterns." Last Day Option Trading" is not for everyone. ** Tesla jumped again on Monday.

Boeing Got Messed Up In It's Earning Report And Looking For Thursday Rebounds

Boeing released quarterly earnings today. The stock got smoked. Now it's three month and one month charts.
What was the bad news today?
Could this be one of those bad news is actually good news situations? Afterall, Boeing keeps on pumping out more airplanes. The problem is they keep losing big money. That's a big problem. All I know is here is how this one series of Friday Call options are trading at the close of Wednesday's session. To me they are far to expensive. It might take some time to shake off this bad news syndrome.
Now this on Thursday morning.
Remember the 212.50 Calls we were looking at?
They got smoked.
Now with one day to go these options have popped up on the radar screen. The 205 Calls when Boeing is at $206.61.
Charts like this usually end up going sideways or slightly down for the rest of the day. Here they are again 31 minutes later later.
At this point in time charts like could turn around. Might this be an opportunity to consider? Should you consider these ones which are "in-the-money". But wait, might there be more panic selling on the closing? Why buying into a nightmare situation? It's funny how six months ago Boeing was getting a number of new government contracts and things couldn't be any better.
**** Don't make any trades on my advise. I am not offering advise. I am offering entertainment to inquisitive minds. The subject matter of Boeing dropping this quickly is bound to attract attention. To be continued. Now this at lunch time. A calm has settled in. The chart looks completely different.
Now this on the closing. The 202.50 series of Calls is now like two dollars "out-of-the-money".
Let's see what happens tomorrow. Has this taught you anything on the topic of looking for Thursday rebounds? Now Fridays action at 9:47 a.m..
Now this.
The clock is ticking on these options. *** Boeing disappointed. Here is how these options closed and how it traded on the week.
When a companies earnings keep falling investors lose confidence.

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?

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...
