Costco At The Start Of The Week - With Rising Oil Costs.

Recent Costco blogs have illustrated how "time values" get eaten up the closer they get to their expiracy date this Friday. Here is a five day chart mid morning on a Monday. Now this. The Costco 1,000 Call option. Costco is down $9.23 at 11:51 a.m. to $999.20. Might it rebound back up again? Now a one day chart and the closing reading on the 1000 series of Calls. This afternoon move was nothing. Let's watch and see what happens tomorrow. This is an expensive game to be in. Costco can easily move ten dollars or more on any morning. Here we are again on Tuesday morning at 10:00 a.m. Notice the very low volume of trading. This is a high risk/ high reward situation. To be continued. Now Tuesday and it's closing reading. It is off on the day $5.58 and off $6.69 on Monday. It's easy to get caught offside on these options. Now here is it's five day chart on Wednesday morning. The stock and the Call options are down again. Higher energy prices are now a new expe...

Carvana At Noon On A Friday - This One Is A Good And Quick Read.

It's five day chart.
Now it's one day chart.
Now a look at it's Puts. Might the stock sell off before the close?
Remember how I have constantly written blogs about the integrity of this organization. Tens of You tube videos attempt to address the same issue. Look at this!
This company has a history of "pump-and-dump" schemes like this. Yes the big sharks know how to skim money off the markets. *** Even after this sell off on Friday afternoon Carvans was up $55.91 on the week.

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...

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. ...
