Caterpillar Cracks $1,000.00 Per Share. History In The Making.

How did this stock get this high? What happened to the worries last summer that tariffs rising raw material would crush their bottom line? What happened to the worries that management commented on during their last few quarterly profit reports. Now look at Caterpillars five day chart. Caterpillar reached the $1,000.00 per share mark for the very first time. Yesterday the stock had a powerful one day surge upwards. Are some people now thinking that the stock could move even higher?. Think about this. Other stocks have also recently reached this threshold. Let's look at a three year chart on Costco to see what it's stock did after reaching the $1,000.00 dollar level for the very first time. Between January 29th and February 3th in 2024 the stock went from $979.00 to $1,022. Then on February 13th it reached $1,072.00 to only then fall back to $927.00 on March 12th. These are big numbers flying around. Let's move on to Eli Lilly and visit it's "reaching the $1,000....

McDonalds Was On A High This Week Before Common Sense Kicked In

There was news. McDonald's is winning at drawing it's customers back in. Quarterly earning were released this week.
The stock jumped on Thursday on this news. See this chart.
Now it's Puts trading on Friday, the day after. Logic has suddenly set in. With gas prices so high who can afford the gas necessary to drive to a McDonalds?
A low of $.10 to a high over $5.04. (See the small Friday morning opening bounce upwards which would have driven the Puts at that time down to the $.10 price range). What a trap. You should you be thinking about opportunities like this. Sometimes they happen out of the blue. ** Ask Chatgpt why Mcdonald's stock dropped so much on Friday.

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...
