Ford Motor Company "Calls".

The one week chart tells the entire story. A thirty day chart adds more detail. Moves this large seldom happen over such compressed periods of time. Look at how these two series of Call options traded on Friday. Back on May 6th I did a blog called "Ford Motor Company Calls On The Week" and in that blog I showed this chart. Back then it was still the same story. Also of note is the fact that Ford is not doing particularly well in their quest to churn out more vehicles. I think this stock will now take a breather. Anyone playing thirty day options on Ford during this time period will be up like three or four times on their initial investment. Naysayers take note. Opportunities do happen. Traders are even finding value in 2028 Ford option Calls! Now Hertz. Might car rentals pick up in the next month as summer months approaches? Yes gas prices are up however summer is when many people take vacations and want to hit the road. Flying is now getting expensive. Renting a car is...

Exxon On Tuesday Morning And Then Wednesday Morning

It's down. The 117 Puts are up over 40 %.
Only one Put sold on the 117 series of Puts in the first three minutes of trading.
Now look at the Calls. This time we are lowering the striking price by $2.00 to get closer to the "in-the-money" options. Will these Calls rebound?
Slightly later.
Let's jump ahead to see how they closed the day.
I am not a big fan of holding onto short term options overnight on "last-week-to- expiring" options however these ones are still 1.5 weeks out. That's still not much comfort. My excitement of my previous blog yesterday talking about four trading opportunities to trade in these options in one day has now lost some of it's shine. The one assurance with trading these options is that oil is an international commodity and the outcomes of how it is going to trade are outside of the control of the market makers and the stock Exxon. Option trading on Exxon is not always a walk in the park. Let's see what happens. Wednesday morning at 10:a.m...
The pain was worth the gain. Now the end of the same day readings.
The DJIA was up over 400 points. Here is how these Calls closed the day.
. This kind of stock pattern is sometimes called a saucer formation. While simple in design, they sometimes take you by suprise. It's funny, with all this Ai trading, so few contracts are being traded.

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...
