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 ...

Drone Stocks Are On A Terror

Yet things may not end all that well. It's the insiders who are having the rides of their life. Let me briefly explain. Here are three of the most popular drone stocks I follow, in no particular order. Note this about Unusual Machines, Donald Trumph Junior works for them.
All have doubled in price in the last six months and none of them are really making any money. That's the problem but it gets even scarier when we look at the second teir of players in this space. Look at these three companies..
Short term option traders have made a killing on this ones - so far. It always has news... they all do to help sell the hype.
Do any of these companies make any money? Draganfly has like 13,967,978 shares outstanding and warrants. Now look at this.
(Dragonfly Energy Holding is a different company than Dragon Inc.). All I am trying to say companies all over the world make drones. There is really nothing special about any of these companies. Investing in any of these companies is to rich for my blood. All of these stocks have "pie-in-the-sky" evaluations. If trading options is your thing then stick to the names of companies you know and understand.

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 ...
