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.

TSXV:BOAT

The symbol is catchy. This company spends money but doesn't yet make money and is .24 cents a share. I don't own any of these shares. It has a Collingwood Ontario address which should help to perk the interest of potential investors living in that area and a website called www.Limestoneboats.ca. Here is a picture of it's first two boats being hauled away to have motors mounted on them. That recent occurance was cause for a press release, kind of like Rivian celebrating their first truck being driven off the line. Yet things with this boat building company, the Limestone Boat Company Limited are still a bit more under raps and one has to wonder if press releases like this are pushing the envelope when it comes to making "forward looking statements". The boat building industry is not rocket scientist stuff, it's labour intensive and depends for the most part on economies of scale. Starting from scratch is a big undertaking. Get it wrong and the bailiffs will be knocking at your door. The list of casualities is a long one. Investors can be wary of startup companies like this especially if there are setbacks in the startup process. The good news is however that boats are now a hot commodity and the "Limestone" brand name has a bit of a cult following among seasoned boaters. What do you think of the option of being able to go electric? Partnerships are being formed. Do your own research on this one.
But wait, here is another press release. Before we show you it we want show you a one year chart and say that it's average trading volume is 47,693 shares a day. During some trading sessions there are no trades at all. If do the math that volume of trading of like $11,446 dollars per day. It appears that potential investors are sitting on the fence on this one, watching to see if employees show up to work. The burn rate on capital is yet another issue to consider. I mentioned that a week or so ago when I talked about "Odd Burger".
Visit their website and go the "Sedar" website to learn more. They plan to build 550 boats next year. Cottagers on Lake Joseph will not have to go very far to find a couple of dealers. All of this makes for a good story.

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"
