The Trade Of The Week

Boeing Calls suprised on Friday. The stock dipped at 10:00 a.m. So did the Boeing "at-the-money" Calls at that exact time. I often talk about Boeing options, most usually in the context of purchasing one week out Call options on Boeing at 3:59:56 p.m. or 3:59:57 p.m. on Fridays "at market" looking for jump upwards on monday mornings. I also note that 10:00 a.m. as well as 12:00 a.m. are commonly periods of time in the trading sessions where reversals in stock prices can take place. This phenomena is not an illusion. In this instance, there was an opportunity to pay $20.00 per contract for one day Call options on Boeing that were expiring that day which ended up closing the day at $990.00 Your timing in doing this had to be spot on. In all fairness it is not everyday that Boeing jumps up almost 5% in one trading session. Call options on Boeing at that time which where "out-of-the-money" had even more extreme upward moves. I don't want to bore you howe...

"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.

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...

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 ...

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. ...
