Going Where Others Fear To Go. "General Motors"

It's Monday at 1:00 p.m. and there is zero interest in these General Motors Puts going into the trading session. That's kind of odd to me. G.M. has like 156,000 employees. None of them over the weekend seem to have an interest in playing the downside action on this stock for this week. Why is there no fear in this stock? Aren't consumers tapped out and isn't there design mistakes in some of the motors that power their big trucks that they make? That plus I don't see a lineup people standing outside of the doors of the local G.M. dealership in my city waiting to buy the $400,000 Cadillac Celestig model. Now look at how the stock traded last week.

There was news last week. G.M. is moving its stock listing from the NYSE to the Nasdaq on November 17,2026, to rebrand itself as a techonology-driven company. It has a P.E. ratio of 6.36 as of October 30.2026 versus the average P.E. ratios of Nasdaq stocks of 26.9%. Then there is this.

G.M. also announced payout bonuses of $10,500 to eligible hourly employees. This is down from $14,500 last year. Are you able to see the nine dollar share increase in the stock last week. Some traders were capitalizing on this news. Now look at these "in-the-money" Puts.

Now this an hour later. The volume of trading has not changed.

At 2:05 p.m. here is what the chart looks like. These are "in-the-money" Puts. "In-the-money" Puts can reacte quickly to change. If G.M. continues to go up I will be totally wrong on this one. Time will tell.
