Boeing Has A Strong Opening And The Game Of Trying To Fight A Strong Stock In A Resilient Market

Look at it's chart. Now how one series of it's options closed the previous day. Now it's ten minute action. Now a 11:00 a.m. question. How do you feel about looking at the downside? Is this going to be the day when the DJIA index jumps 1,000 points? Look at these details. .... Reversals are more likely to happen in the afternoons, not the mornings. I like midweek option trading on stocks in the $225.00 price range. To be continued. Now here we are at 12:59 .p.m. Nothing has really changed. That kind of makes sense because it is exactly a point of middle of the week trading. To be continued. Now a 2:37p.m. update. The NASDAQ is super strong. Getting stuck in this position wasn't the name of the game. The markets were strong on the news of peace with the price of oil coming down. The real winners where the people who got in on the close yesterday who benefited from this morning's bounce. So many of the daily moves now happening are politically induced. This ...

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

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?
