The Respect That Boeing Calls Have.

It's noon on a Wednesday and here we are looking at Boeing Calls. These options with 2.5 days trading days life left in them now command a two dollar premium. Is it worth it? It means that the stock has to jump up two dollars in value in the next little while just to break even. Given it's recent track reord of good news, it's a reasonable proposition to entertain. Here is a look at what one series of Calls are trading at. Last week Boeing was up $5.61. So really at this point in time option traders considering this position are hoping for a rally this afternoon, tomorrow or the next day. One could argue that a slight upward move at this juncture might produce a 30% or 50% return in a few hours. Seasoned day traders are not afraid to take unexpected Wednesday afternoon profits. As we will quickly learn at the 2:32 p.m. mark this was not going to happen. Boeing's Calls were near their lows of the day. .............. Here now is it's five day chart ten minutes later...

Pfizer. Playing The Momentum Of An Unexpected Rally.

Many of the drug stocks are up today (a Wednesday) on news. As an example, look at how Eli Lilly is doing.
Can you catch some of this action? Let's look at Pfizer.
One would think that one is to late to the party. Look now at the pricing of these Calls at 11:55 a.m. which expire in two days. This slight dip in it's chart creates an entry opportunity. With a strong upwards projectory like this dips do not last very long. This blog is about buying Calls on the tiny dip you see on the above chart.
Now this, fifty-five minutes later. $.32 is now $.44. This has become a profitable trade.
Can you see how the stock is up only marginally.It's 12:50 p.m.. This is the kind of trading nimble Wednesday option traders teach themslves to do.
Here is how Pfizer closed the day.
It did lose steam on the closing and because of this might open softer on the opening.

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...

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 ...
