Up Today And Down Tomorrow. A Day Of Peace Talk News.

Let's start with Home Depot and then move on to Caterpillar and Eli Lilly. ... .... ... All three of these series of Puts have two full days of trading life in them. These are not normal times and all three of these series of Puts are attracting next to no interest. Is the U.S. on the hook for all the damages it has caused? Up today and down tomorrow? Is this now the case of excess exuberance? Probably. Let's see what happens next.

A Quick Look At The Internals Of This Website

Let me share some of it's backpages. I am not going to show you too many insights but a few which you might find of interest. The first reading is of Feb21st 2026 showing two things. First it talks about how many people are on the site at any given time (in this case around 8:00 p.m. on Feb 16th) and their locations around the globe. Four viewers were from the U.S. and I can tell which cities they were in. One person from England and one from Sweden were also online with no city names attached. If hits are coming from a from a big country like China they will tell me the actual city however with small countries they don't.
Then there is the list of which countries bring in the most readers. Canada is usually higher on the list. There is always a battle between Canada and the U.S. with the U.S. usually winning but not always. Here is that map of the world I am talking about. Russia is not lit up however it is sometimes is. Austrilia doesn't seem to care about North Amercian option trading. I get it. People however in drug market countries in South America are somewhat curious.
Then there is the number of views per day number. Here is what I woke up to today.
Here is a next day look also showing the number of viewers. Things have changed.
My next project is a sister site call FordPuts.com. The design style for this site is now live. Why? Well many stock traders in North America have invested in this company over the years for various reasons (i.e. their stock dividends) so news about Ford option trading might take them by suprise. More about that later.

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...
