Tesla And The Play Of The Week - An Easy Read.

Here is Telsa's five day chart. Can you see how it spiked to the upside on Friday morning before it tanked? Can you see how as the day progressed it dipped down to the support level of the $210.00 range? Here is its one day chart. Now this. Lucky in all this action are all those individuals who purchased one day Puts on Telsa in the first few minutes of trading. Look at how these Puts reacted. The lows of the day happened in the first few minutes of trading. Look at the pecentage gains. In the last example a $1.00 option went to $190.00 in one day. Catching one trade like this could make up for twenty bad trades. What's all this talk of Ai trading? Moves like this could blow up the exchanges if thousand of trading platforms could recognize this could happen. This was one of the best option trading opportunities of the decade.

"Big Fools - Gamestop - Stuff"

Look at this chart and I will tell you what happened.
One day back in January of this year "Elon Musk" inadvertently referenced the wrong stock called "Signal Advance Inc." and as you can see it went crazy. Instant profits for some lucky shareholders. The chart doesn't tell the whole story. If you look at the January 11th printout what you will see is that the stock started the day at $7.49, went to $70.85 and backed off to close at $31.51.
Now here is where it is trading today, down in the $2.20 range. It traded 2.3 million shares on Jan 11th, the day of it's high and now it trades on avarage something like 12,000 shares a day.
Now here is the "Gamestop" chart. It's taking longer to crash down to earth.
Next is "Sernova Corp.", a London Ontario based stock. On January 7th it was trading at .62 cents and ten days later on Jan 17th, 8.7 million shares traded in one day and closed at $2.42. Now it's backed off in price to $1.48 and traded 313,000 shares last Thursday.
Yet another one that recently rallied is "EYES", "Second Sight Medical Products". It was $1.43 on March 3th trading 784,000 shares that day to then reach $15.48 on March 8th trading 107 million shares. Now it's sliding back down again.
Finally, I want to mention the little "Sarnia" based rubber bullet company named "Lamperd Less Lethal Inc." A few months back when the riots were happening at the "White House" and cops were out in the streets carrying "Lamperd Less Lethal" made shields the stock surged up to the .07 cent range on huge volumes. Now it is back in the doldrums again.
It's these types of absurdities that help to make the markets interesting to me. ^^ Scroll back up to read by most recent bogs on "Boeing".

A Fireside Chat - One Year Options and Thirty Day Options. Which is Better?

Some say to think small, not big. Trying to play Disney options is thinking big. It is a stock slighty 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-mas

The Crazy Last Day of Option Trading In Tesla.

Image
First, look at it's five day chart. Big jumps everyday. If you try and jump in and play the downside everyday you will quickly get beat up. Here for example is one look at the Tesla 235 Puts on Wednesday at 9:34 a.m., only then to check out the same Puts a few minutes later at 10:15 a.m. How do you know what to do? Well you don't fight stocks running up over $8.00 in the first thirteen minutes of trading. Now here is how these Puts were trading at 12:59 p.m. The game is to sell the Puts when the stock is rising and then cover them to be out of the markets at a profit by the end of the day. It's not the small fish playing this game. Now today is Thursday July 4th and the markets are closed. Tomorrow is Friday July 5th.These Put options will be expiring at tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. If Telsa opens down two or three dollars on the opening there is the potential for a small reaction. They will still however be extremely "out-of-the-money". They might jump a touch i

I Wonder How The Back Office Is Going To Handle My Complaint

Image
The blog is about dealing with the back office of the brokerage company I trade with. This story happened today. Todays trading session has closed and I just made a telephone call to them just after the market closed to voice a complaint over how I feel I got short changed. Here are my background notes. 1) It involves trading the 370 Boeing Puts that expire at the end of this week. I bought in at 10:08:34 a.m. and sold out at 2:59:38 p.m. I was stuck in this position longer than I had hoped. I got lucky and did O.K., however that is not the point. 2) Here are my two "in-and-out" tickets. Two contracts in at 10:08 a.m. at $163.00 each and two contracts out then "at-market" for $365.00 each at 2:59.38 p.m. Now here is Boeing's one day chart. It dropped precipitously from 2:59:00 p.m.to 3:00:p.m. I just happened to be watching it at the exact time of the crash. That's when news came out that the "FAA opens Now a Boeing Inquiry over 787 inspections"
