Tesla Options Near the Close on Friday Afternoon. Building A Case For Making A High Risk Trade.

Tesla was up 11% in the last five days. Look at it's one and five day charts. ... Now here are one series of it's Call and one series of it's Put options with only 42 minutes of trading life remaining in them. Might these Calls rebound back upwards towards the closing? Afterall the D.J.I.A. is up almost 1,000 points on the day and this is one of the hottest stocks all week. The 400 series of Call options at this time are "in-the-money" by $.72, and are priced at $1.88. That's a premium of $1.16 over the striking price. Imagine all of the money lost by the existing 140 series of Call option holders in the last 60 minutes! Couldn't the stock now rebound two or three dollars in the blink of an eye. It did afterall once again just drop over $5.00 a share in the last hour of trading and it now seems to be holding steady. That's the carrot now dangling in front of everyones eyes.

Ford - An Earning Report

Ford is going electric, that's the buzz. We all know the story. Earnings just came out on the stock and the Call options jumped on the opening. If you were playing options you had to get out just after the opening. With option plays on earning reports that's usually the way to best way play them. First, I will show the prior day's action. There was a gap down on the opening and 94 million shares traded. That's a large number. People were cashing out after recent good times. Now here is a chart of Ford the next day and here is how two option series traded. Buy in at the close and sell out just after the opening. Look at how high each series traded up to just after the opening. The earning numbers were not all that great but it's the buzz about going electric. Ford is one of the better stocks out there to play earning report releases. ** Scroll up to the upper left and read my most recent blog on MacDonald's earning report.

McDonald's And An Earnings Report

Image
I was sitting in the drive through line yesterday at McDonalds redeeming a free coffee sticker won from being there a few days prior. It was a long line up for mid-afternoon. I am not a fast food junkie. I found myself thinking of how the Domino Pizza stock was on a terror for much of last year but not so much now. When we were all locked in last year everyone was ordering their pizza. I was also wondered if they would now accept my little free coffee sticker as it was only thumbnail size. Then when I pulled up to the drive thru window I hit a patch of bees. Apparently for whatever reason they were enjoying being at that window. They gave me my free coffee. Boy it was busy there. I note in this option series that there were only 292 open contracts. That small number suprises me. Why didn't more option players see this coming?
