Another Blog On "Vinfast"

There is so much to read about this companies history online. Do your own homework. Their success is not dependent on what ends up happening with their sales in North America. They are nimble. There are plenty of auto factories all over the world now for sale they can acquire. They have dabbled in Australia. Having access to money to keep going doesn't seem to be their problem. Rivian also seems to enjoy this advantage. Vinfast is currently building a new plant in India which could employ thousands of people. That's an emerging new market. New relationships are being built and new investors will be coming onboard. Are option players looking at this stock? Not really if we look at these "one-month-out" Calls. What about Calls further out? What about next January? Here is a look at the three and four series of Calls. Nobody seems willing to bet Vinfast Calls. Now this. Here are two snippets taken from a blog I wrote about this stock back in early December of 2024. ...

"Caterpillar Calls" and a Thursday Morning Bounce"

Does playing "Caterpillar" options on Tuesdays ,Wednesdays and Thursdays give you enough time to make money? It can be a little bit scary because your fighting the issue of time values eating away at the cost of your options and you have to get the direction of which way you think the stock is going to go lined up properly. Buying in late in the day looking for morning bounces is one way to play it. I prefer Thursday and Friday plays on "Caterpillar". This week on Tuesday I purchased both the 237.50 series of Calls on "Caterpillar' and the 240 series of Calls. On Wednesday I was down 30% on my investment from the previous days purchases and on Thurday morning there was a bounce on the opening. I got out.
This little prinout says sell one contract, the 237.50 contract at $5.27 at 9:40.a.m. On the buy side I bought in on Tuesday at 3:47 p.m. and paid $2.22. Here is the ticket and here is another chart showing the bounce. ( My 240 Calls did equally as well, I bought the 237.50 contract as insurance after the 240 Calls were starting to disappoint on Tuesday).
How did I pick my exit point of 9:40 a.m.? That's always the really difficult part I struggle with and more often than not I get out to soon. In this case can you see how a second buying opportunity presented itself later in the afternoon. Why do I like "Caterpillar" Call and Put options? One of the reasons is that seldom does this stock have news releases. That's to me is a good thing.
