Tesla Call Options On A Friday Morning

First, here is what the D.J.I.A index is doing, not that it matters all that much. These Calls are down like 50% from the previous day. Tesla did drop on the previous day, a day in which the market dropped 669 points. Some stocks are having a good morning. Look at Snowflake. Might Tesla wake up and take off again? The same with Apple which had a big fall on the previous day. This kind of nervousness is what Friday morning one day option trading is all about. Some option traders capitalize on situations like this buying instead next weeks out day (five day) options. Let's see what happens. Now this at 12:42 p.m. The DJIA index is creeping up. .. I don't really like the slow creep back up knowing that with any bad market news everything could sell off in a heartbeat. I would just get out. That's me. To be continued. Here is how these Telsa Call were trading at the 3:00 p.m. get out deadline. Now here is how Tesla closed the day. Sometimes taking profits when you see them...

Caterpillar Earning Report Plays

So tomorrow is the big day when Caterpillar releases it's second quarter earnings report. It is expected to be good. 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

Image
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 ...
