Walmart "Last- Day-To Expiry- Puts " At 11:15 A.M. On A Friday Morning

It's a friday and these Call options expire today. Here are how it's one day Puts are trading. At 11:15 a.m. these puts are "in-the-money". Now it's one day and five day chart. .... Doesn't it look like it's one day chart is going to run out of steam? Now let's look at how the stock ended up trading on the day. It looks like the stock basically traded sideways for the rest of the day however it really didn't. It has it's ups and downs. The little red line shows the action in the Put prices on the day. Had you bought the Puts at $.44 per contract (or $44.00 dollars) at 11:15 a.m. you could have sold them out at 12:08 p.m. for $1.66 a contract, at 1:26 p.m. for $1.42 a contract or at 2:56 p.m. (four minutes before the 3:00 p.m. sellout deadline) for $1.35 a contract! What amazing gains compared to the five days of drama found in my previous blog about trading drone options with one week of trading life left in them. Interday price swings on ...

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.

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...

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. ...

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 ...
