Can You Play The Dips On $10.00 Drone Stocks With One Week to Go?

First off why would you want to? It's Monday morning. This is going to be a long and super speculative blog which has somehow caught my attention. Please try and get through it. Let's start by looking at these three drone stocks and looking at how their one week to expiracy options are trading. Most drone stocks don't really yet make any money but the world is waking up to recognizing their usefulness in the ares of military fighting. There is competition in this industry, many countries make drones. Trumph has helped to bump up the values of all North Americian companies making drones especially in the first half of this year. It's all kind of a guessing game as to who the winners and losers are going to be. In the last few days a rough patch in trading patterns of a drone stocks is causing some alarm. 1) First a company called Red Cat. Google that name if you like. Here are two series of their Call options. Five days ago this stock hit $12.00. Now it's crashing....

What's Next For Caterpillar And Deere

Let's start with Caterpillars five day chart. You can see how it zoomed upwards this week as a result of it's quarterly earnings report. If you want to play the downside next's weeks options are going to cost you something like $1,000.00 per contract. Here are how one series of Puts, the 575 Puts closed the day on Friday. So the stock has to drop like $12.00 in five trading sessions just to break even. What a daunting challenge trying to figure out these ones. Many option players accustom to playing the ups and downs of Caterpillar when it was trading at price levels like $325.00 only six months ago now feel totally out of the game. It's now not a game for the little guys. I get it. Now this, a look at how Caterpillar traded on the day last Friday. Between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. the stock dropped $15.00 dollars. The one day options that were expiring that day had an amazing price swing. So a new trend I see happening is a shift away from playing one and two week o...

Friday Last Day To Expiring Calls on Ford

What's going to happen with the options on Ford today? Can daytraders expect to make money trading them? Let's try and answer this question. This blog is not as easy to read and understand as my previous blog on "last-day-option-trading" on the stock Tesla . Tesla has bigger one day price swings than Ford does. Here is what Ford's one day chart looks like as of 11:00 a.m. on a Friday morning. Let's back up a little bit. Look at how thse two series of Calls and Puts at 9:40 a.m. are trading. They both expire today. ..... If the stock was to rebound suddenly up to the $13.05 range the Calls could go up to $.13 or $.14 cents a contract from their current $.11 ($11.00) per contract price. It's best to buy them in quantities of 25 or more contracts at one time. If you lived in the U.S. and got free commissions trading, options like this could be a very quick and profitable experience. In Canada where I live not so much so. The commissions would eat up a chunk...
