"Ford Puts" Com.

Can daytraders catch the action like this? 99% of daytraders don't. I watch it, I track it, I occassionally catch some of the action. This morning there was an incredible score to be had. Let me spell it out in greater detail. Look at this chart. It shows how the Ford stock opened on the opening. It opened up about ten cents. That's what the above chart shows. Now let's move on. The next chart is a five day chart. The D.J.I.A. dropped over one thousand points yesterday. Ford surged upwards on an earnings release an then had a partial selloff in the afternoon. Now if you look carefully at this five day chart you will see the slight rebound on the opening. (The one day chart actually shows it better). The 15 series of Ford Puts that expire tomorrow got squeezed. Look at how much they got squeezed for. At the height of this mornings 10 cent uptick they got squeezed down to $.04 per contract. Now lets check in at 11:55 a.m. Can you see how they hit a high of $.42 cents?. I ...

Ford. A Chart You Don't See Very Often

Here it is.
What's going on? Something must have happened to drop the stock down. How did the "12 series of Calls" and the "11.5 series of Calls" trade on the day?
What about the "12 series" of Puts?
So what happened?
So how did Ford finish out the week?
The most obvious trade of this week was to buy Ford Calls on the dip after the release of good news. How hard was that? Yes with patience youu can learn to teach youself how to play short term options.

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...
