Nvidia Options On A Monday Morning.

Itching to find something to do in the markets on a Monday morning? What about Nvidia options that expire at 3:00 p.m. You are gauranteed that the liquitity found in these options will be great. The markets are opening somewhat sideways with some strenght in the Nasdaq as shown as of 10:20 a.m.. The real action happened in the first few minutes of trading which is commonly the case. Look at this early morning readout just ten minutes into the trading. ... What do we see happening? Focus on it's chart. Nvidea closed at 215.62 and opened at $215.70. Then it moved up slightly like it did on it's previous Thursday's opening and to a lessor degree on it's Friday opening.( This is a five day chart chart as of 10:45 a.m.). In the very first two minutes of trading the Puts slipped down to $.70 cents. It was a case of buying in on the slight upward spike in the first minute of trading. "Slight" but still enough to cause "Option makers" at that time point i...

"Bigbear Ai" Options Going Into A Friday.

Why am I talking about "Bigbear Ai". By share volume it was the most actively traded stock this week on the NYSE. It droppedd $.66 cents on the week and was down 10.9%. Look at how the $5.50 series of Calls and Puts are poised to trade tomorrow ( friday). I talked about Bigbear Ai options in an introductory blog for the first time only a few days ago. The stock was down over 5% in one day today (Thursday) and the 5.5 series of Calls sank in price from a high of $.98 down to a low of $.14 on the close. Traders can now bet on it rebounding on the opening. Traders that is who made money all week speculating on this companies options and who can now afford to stay in the game. Others who also know about the crazy trading patterns of this stock might opt to wait until next week to join the party once again.

Look at how the stock traded on the week up until Thursday at the close. Friday's action should be interesting. To be continued. Now a 12:30 p.m. update. It' not what you might think.

....
The markets are up over 700 points and these options are doing nothing. Here is how the stock closed the day.
Only the $5.50 Puts made a little bit of money on the opening.
These options for some traders have become an obsession.

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...
