My Addiction To Pfizer Options.

I am sure it will go away but here is today's action. Addiction may be the wrong word, perhaps fascination is better. The DJIA index closed up 588 points on the day, a Wednesday after losing more than that on the previous day. Now Pfizer's one day chart. Can you see how it got dragged up? Now this. A look at it's Puts which expire on Friday. Now this. There was no trading in them during the last 2.5 minutes of trading. In some ways that's a good thing. Could tomorrow's market open down? Here is what it's five day chart now looks like. At 9:32 a.m. this morning it was trading at $25.62 and at 10:02 a.m. it traded down to $24.44. A drop like that on tomorrow's opening would do wonders for these Puts. Let's see what happens.

Boeing - If It Doesn't Go Your Way Just Get Out.

This could be an exciting opportunity.
......
Now its one day chart.
Ay 2:49 p.m.with the DJIA average up strongly the stock is still struggling.
This could be another one of those cases where it is a good time to get out (see our Exxon blog today) for the same advise. Wednesdays can be turn around days for "one-week" or in this case "three-day" options but if things are slow in happening it's just best to bail and never look back. It's called day trading.
Once again, this take your profit decision applies to last "week-Wednesday-short-term-option" playing. Wednesday going into Thursday are a tricky space to be in with overnight options. This "take your profit approach" doesn't necessary apply to other days. ** Here is how Boeing traded the next day.
It wasn't a walk in the park for these options. ****** Let's move forward. If you had the guts to purchase these 200 series of Calls on Thursday would would have got a reward on Friday.
That's Boeing.

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...

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. ...
