Who Is Going To Get Rich Playing Options On Space X Technologies?

It's symbol is SPCX. It is my opinion that in the near term Tesla options will be more playable than these new the Space X options. Playing options on Tesla over the last few years has become a comfortable experience for many traders. They have a personality. Often times the stock will jump or fall ten or more dollars on the day and there seems to be an endless scource of fresh news as to what is happening with this company. What's happening with it's German production, what's happening with it's sales number in Australia, what's happening new models coming out and new self driving features? I doubt in the near term if the news on Space X will be as engaging. I could be wrong. All I know is that Telsa's last day to expiring options often offer roller coaster rides. But wait, as we all know there is a new kid on the block. Space X options are now here. Same management, different company. Traders don't know what to expect. Here is how it traded on Thu...

Boeing just had a great earnings report yesterday and analyst are expecting Caterpillar to also report decent numbers. Let's look at the five day trading charts on these two companies and this mornings super strong premarket indicators. (It's always good to be selling into strong premarket indicators because history tells us that they never stay strong forever). It's July 29th and Caterpillar's earning report is tomorrow. Ford also just had their earning reports and good new also on that front. So far so good? Good news everywhere right? It's only good news if you can capitalize on it. What am I implying? Well I don't want to digress to far off topic however option trading can be an exacerbating experience. I missed the Boeing and Ford trading opportunites despite the fact that I anticipated both of these two companies would do well. Do I...

The Trade of the Year

It's not that complicated however it kind of slipped under the radar. It was a big name company we all know called Lowes. The payoff was wild. What are we looking at? Options that closed on Thursday at ten cents a contract and opened at one cent the folling morning, a Friday which then then hit an interday high of one dollar and fifty cents. A one thousand dollar investment would have went as high as $150,000.00. Folks, all of this is legal and anyone can play it. You could have made it all by lunchtime. What happened? Well we are talking about the 200 series on Calls that expired yesterday on Friday July 23th. At the start of the trding session they were over $3.00 "out-of-the money. Very few traders saw value in them. Yet Lowes did close strong on Thursday the day before it. Then it wobbled a touch on the Friday opening and resumed it's upward charge. The price of lumber is dropping and many people are waiting to purchase lumber at these new lowering prices. The kicker ...
