Let's Set The Stage For A Friday Afternoon Option Ride On Tesla

Tesla has moved sideways all week. That is unusual. Here is what the markets are doing. Now it's morning trading chart and two series of it's options late in the morning. There is also more action in the Calls than the Puts as there always is. Call holders were rewarded in the early morning trading action. Now a different way tp present the same material. Now this action on the Calls and Puts a few minutes later. Here we are at 12:30 p.m., which is 39 minutes later. The Puts have gone from $1.44 to $3.48. If you could do one trade a week like this you would be a happy camper. Closing readings to follow. ** See my Febuary 13th blog about Telsa dropping on a Friday afternoon.

The Deere Jump And A Decision To Make On Friday Morning If You Want To Catch The Action

Read my last blog. Yesterday John Deere shot up to the sky. Will there be a fallout today? That's the current question. The first printout shows the 645 series of Calls at 10:17 a.m. There was some action early in the morning. These options expire today.
Look at this printout. The Call options crashed on the opening and then rebounded. I can explain better what happened by showing both it's five day and one day chart.
Can you see the massive jump it had yesterday? Now can you see on the printout below how it dipped on the opening at 9:40.00 a.m. to 647.05? That's when the 645 Calls dipped down to $6.00 before jumping back up again and doubling in price.
One has to now wonder if the 9:40 a.m. reversal was a computer generated/Ai move given that it happened at exactly 9:30 a.m. So now what? Let's look at the current chart above and think about whether or not we want to buy the Puts to catch what looks like to be a fall. Here is one series to consider.
At 10:18 a.m. would you be happy with that decision? If so here is how they are trading 49 minutes later. Take a guess what they might be trading at. Are you ready to find out? Here they are.
Sellout and say thanks or wait. It's your call. Here is a new chart at 11:14 a.m. Deere seems to be hanging tough.
Now it's five day chart at 11:25 a.m. which might help add a different perspective.
Can you see how the day is not over yet? To be continued.

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. ...
