Boeing Has A Strong Opening And The Game Of Trying To Fight A Strong Stock In A Resilient Market

Look at it's chart. Now how one series of it's options closed the previous day. Now it's ten minute action. Now a 11:00 a.m. question. How do you feel about looking at the downside? Is this going to be the day when the DJIA index jumps 1,000 points? Look at these details. .... Reversals are more likely to happen in the afternoons, not the mornings. I like midweek option trading on stocks in the $225.00 price range. To be continued. Now here we are at 12:59 .p.m. Nothing has really changed. That kind of makes sense because it is exactly a point of middle of the week trading. To be continued. Now a 2:37p.m. update. The NASDAQ is super strong. Getting stuck in this position wasn't the name of the game. The markets were strong on the news of peace with the price of oil coming down. The real winners where the people who got in on the close yesterday who benefited from this morning's bounce. So many of the daily moves now happening are politically induced. This ...

Exxon On Monday March 16th It's A Monday

The morning action.
Now it's 157.50 Puts at 10:43 a.m.
Now the 157.50 Puts at 12:45 p.m..
...
....
Here above is what the markets were doing just Here is how it closed the day.
...
These Puts did nothing all day. Tuesday morning. These Puts took a hit.
Contrast this to the gains the Ford Motor Calls had in a blog I am concurrently writing. Fighting Exxon during a war is counterintuitive. To be continued. Read my blog on playing options on stocks in the $10.00 range. Here is how the 157.50 Puts closed the day on Tuesday.
Now here is Exxon on the close on Wednesday. First it's five day chart.
To be continued. Thursday. Fighting strong stocks can be a battle. Here is an opportunity to get back your money.
Tomorrow is Friday and Exxon could jump again over the weekend. Here is it's 30 day chart.
My point is that the "little fish" can play these options - they jump on a daily basis - no one can control what's going to happen next.

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...
