Boeing Calls On A Friday Morning

I wrote the very same type of blog about Boeing's trading pattern last Friday. In that blog Boeing went flat in price for the entire afternoon. Any profits to be made in the Puts happened in a very limited period of the morning's trading action. Might things today happen in the same way? Let's start with Boeings five day chart. Now it's one day chart on Thursday. Look at how the stock wandered back up towards the very end of the day. Could it inch up another touch on the opening and then run out of steam? Would this be a time focusing on the 210 Puts? Experience has taught me not to be jumping into Calls options on Thursday afternoons to catch Friday moring rallies. That's more something one might do at the end of the day (on Fridays) to catch a Monday morning bounce. Here is a look at what two series of it's Puts are doing and it's chart about eight minutes into Friday morning's action. Boeing opened relatively flat with the stock moving up just ove...

$Hertz. Sometimes One Month Out Options Can Be Your Very Best Friend

One month until expiring options can be your very best friend. This time however we are looking at options on a stock in the five dollar range which are less predictable in nature compared to stocks in higher price ranges. The pace in trading them can be slower. Case in point is Hertz. View the following information. First it's trading chart today followed by it's five day chart.
...
They are July 17th options and you can see how they had a slight pop on the opening. One of the things I like about this situation is how it's peirs in the industry are trading on the day.
Now this readout.
Notice the high of $.77 earlier in the morning. Let's move on to Tuesday morning. All three of the stock's piers are up. Whether it's drone stocks or drug stocks or auto retailing stocks it helps when the sector your'e trying to play is in agreeance with you're line of thinkings. Once again it is.
Now this. Chat GTP would advise you from staying away from positions like this. One more small uptick on this stock is all you need to get out with a gain. Now this at 10:00 a.m.
..
....
This trade defies the odds. Take your money and run. * Now this a few weeks 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 ...

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...
