Are Disney Calls Back In The Buy Range?

Here is the chart and the price of one series of it's Calls. Last week we did a blog about Disney Calls. Now at this time, any kind of an upward swing could cause these Calls to double. Yet it's Tuesday and these Calls don't expire until Friday. For lack of better words these options are sloppy options meaning they are "out-of-the-money" options and somewhat susceptible to falling of a cliff if the stock decides to go sideways or down for a day or two. It's not like buying Tesla on the closing hoping for a ten dollar move on the opening and getting it. That's one of the reasons the volume in them is so low. To be continued.

What's Going On With Google?

It's Wednesday.
....
Now this.
But wait. Look at how it's one day chart changed over the next few hours.
I took a couple of hours away from the market to go swimming and I missed much of the downward action. Here is another chart showing how these Puts just traded. They went from $350.00 to $708.00 at 12:35 p.m. in less than an hour!
I wrote a similiar blog about Google moving like this ( one day short term trades ) back on January 13th. Trumph has a way making statements which then moves the markets. The strenght this afternoon comes from statements he is not going to impose tariffs on Greenland. What we now have is a market ripe for extreme daytrading.

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 ...

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...

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...
