Deere Trading Sideways On October 1st 2024 - Few People Trade These Ones

The stakes are huge. Is Deere slipping? Here is it's five day chart. Could Deere slip to $412.00 on the opening? If it did, could it slip further? The chart looks to me like it wants to open lower. Could you grab some Call options on a weak opening and try to play it for a rebound? Does history repeat itself? Here are how the 417.50 series of Calls traded yesterday on Oct 1st. Can you see how they dipped on the opening and came charging back up? That's the kind of action option traders like to see. Look at how few contracts trade on a daily basis. Clearly trading Deere options is like skating on thin ice. To add some sort of prespective on todays action here is how the indexes traded today. Shown above was Deere's five day chart. Here now is a look at how Deere traded traded today. After a nervous start it showed some strenght in the early afternoon. Now a premarket look at Deere on Wednesday October 2nd. Look at these four stocks and look at the premarket bids and ask

Nio once again. The stock is on fire. Here is it's five and thirty day charts. Now here is last Friday's one day look at one series of it's Call options. On Thursday they closed at .07 (seven cents) and on Fridays close .52 (fifty two cents). To difficult to trade you might say. Well it's happened before in the recent past. Now Xpeng. ............ These are the 12 series of Calls which closed at $.16 on the previous day. These are dangerous options to play. Other EV stocks are also hot. Now this.**** Nio in the premarket Monday morning Sept. 30th. Another huge move upwards. *** There is talk that short sellers are covering their short positions on Chinese stocks. That might explain part of this action. It all has to do with currency reforms.

Deere - Tricks The Option Makers Engage In.

We hear these banterings all the time. Now here is how the Deere $407.50 series of Call options traded yesterday on a day when the stock was down. The volume of trading on this particular series of Call options was light and the options were down 50%. Not many retail players play options on this stock. Here is it's one day chart. It closed strong. So what did I do at 3:51:30 p.m.? The print is light and difficult to read but I says I paid $248.00 U.S. dollars for one option contract. I bought one slightly "just- out-of-the-money" Call option which expires in two days time. Wednesday going into Thursday morning's trading sessions can be profitable if the markets decide to uptick and this time we are looking at options that just dropped 50% in one day. So what happened? Here is where it starts to get interesting. There is something called premarkert trading. If you're watching the market about an hour before it opens you can see quotes showing the stocks then

, Now this. Now a strange remark "heard-on-the-street". Now a year-to date Caterpillar chart. Now here are two snippents of information taken from a Aug 7th blog on Caterpillar. These comments were part of a second quarter earnings report. Now it's five day chart. Caterpillar is going up on no news. Will traders consider buying "out-of-the-money" next weeks Calls? Not many traders want to go this far out however we don't see an upward movement like this happening very often. Now look at how this series of Calls traded the next day. Now a Thursday closing reading on these same Calls. What do you see? Talk about action. Will Caterpillar jump again tomorrow?
