FORD AND EARNING'S

The chart. People need to buy cars and trucks to keep things going. That plus they are expensive. Here is how two series of this weeks Calls traded.... I do lot's of blogs on Ford. Where you smart enough to pick up yesterday at the close some of the 13 series of Calls on Ford which expire this Friday? Look above at their percentage gain on the day. * ** Nio also had a somewhat similar gain on the day. What a day for Ford Call Option players.

Monday Morning And 1,000 Contracts Traded On Hertz

I am fishing looking at todays action. Thirty seconds ago the volumes of trading in this series was reported as 4. Now it's 1,004. One thousand contracts could have happened in one ticket. I was watchinng it just before it happened.
$5.00 options can suprise. Here is how they closed the day, up 540%.
So why am I blogging about this event? Well, in a recent past blog the same type of event happened. Check my November 8th blog. Look at the chart that I pulled up from that blog.
When a stock jumps in one day from $5.00 to well over $6.50 and settles back again to $5.00 you know that history could repeat itself. Today was that day. One month from now we could be looking at this same event unfolding again.
Whenever Hertz drops down to $5.00 can you purchase short term option on it looking for one of these situations? Not really. Hertz options are best left for insiders to play.

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...
