Caterpillar,Tesla And Nvidia Puts On A Tuesday Afternoon. It's 3:40:00 P.M.

Caterpillar is up $40.00. at 340 p.m. Might it sell off a touch before the close? The DJIA ended up closing the day 1,024 points! Let's look at these three series of Puts series which expire on Friday. First Caterpillar. Now Tesla and a look at it's Puts about four dollars "out-of-the-money". Now Nvidia with a focus to be watching it's Puts. Once again I would like to mention than these Puts still have three full days of trading life in them. These ones are also slightly "out-of-the-money". Now jump ahead to the closing reading. First Caterpillar once again.The Puts we were watching closed at $7.10 only ten cents higher than what they were trading at when we first looked at them. The Tesla Calls however jumped up to $3.65 from $1.90 and the Nvidia Puts jumped up from $.75 to $1.25. .. This is one approach to playing super strong days in the market without losing any sleep. Puts can sometimes be your best friend. ** A special point to think about....

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.

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?

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...

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...
