CAT Puts

I am back to looking at cheap options again. We have had topsy turvey markets as of the last few days. Are you looking for a cheap position to enter into with instant posible leverage? These Puts were good to buy on the close today. ....... If the stock declines in price what it gained today these ones will be winners. If not there will still be a few days to see if it drops. Here is it's five day chart. In the premarkets (today is a Wednesday) it is down a touch. Now this. Now this Puts at 10:12 a.m. Here now is what the markets and these Puts are doing around 11:12 a.m. In my usual fashion I would say just take the profits and run. Profits like this can dissipate in the blink of an eye. I don't want to worry about what the stock will do next. I am just happy the markets went in the right direction for me. This trade required Pfizer to drop $.34 cents in a short period of time. It did. The charts this morning looked like it could. Here is how Pfizer closed the day. The...

It's 10:27 a.m. and these Puts are like $10.00 "out-of-the-money". There is support at the 310 price level. Carvana is known to do crazy things. Might there be an afternoon gain to be had here? Let's see what happens. It's 11:32 a.m. and there has being a slight drop. Here is the chart. In my usual fashion I would say just get out. $4.70 to $7.20 in just over one hour. Now it's updated five day chart. Who cares what happens next? *** With less than 30 minutes in the trading session the same opportunity with the same series of 320 Puts has presented itself again. ...... There is one diffence. It's missing the early morning "up-to-quickly-surge" it had this morning. For that reason alone everything is different!

Big Bear Ai (BBAI). Odds are you never heard of it. Last week it closed at $6.06 up $.38 cents. It's a military Ai play. Look at how it traded in the last five days. Look at the volume of shares traded today. Almost 84 million shares! That's not a mistake. A junk stock with no earnings you might say on the verge of having a meme stock status. Yes. I am embarrassed in a way to be talking about this stock when I normally write blogs on trading options on stocks like Deere. With Deere some series of their options only trade like 19 contracts on any one series of it's options on any given day. Should option traders be trading in options on stocks in the $5.00 and $6.00 dollar price range? Sooner or later this stock might crash and burn. I shouldn't really be saying this. One of the things I do know is that this company doesn't even generate profits yet. Also, back in May this stock was only trading in the $2.50 range. Is it's story feasible? There are massive amou...

No longer is Netflix a $1,000 stock. Now the common man can buy it. That's the new logic. Today Netflix is now trading after a "ten-for-one-reverse-stock-split". Netflix was up $8.51 last week when it was trading at it's old level of over $1,000 per share. Perhaps the street was buying in last week on the hopes that a new wave of buyers will be buying in at this weeks newly adjusted price. Now this, it's five day chart. Now this weeks Call and Put options an hour or so into the opening markets. Whatever happens it's not going to be a comfortable ride. Maybe it could go both ways. Now it's end of day readings. ..... ..... Here is how the markets closed the day. The now current question is which way will this stock trade on an upward day? One unusual factor is that the open interest in the Puts far outweighs the open interest in the Calls. To me that's counter intuitive. To me that looks like trap for all the Put holders. Usually there are more Call...
