Lucid Had Another Scare

Look at this big bump in the road. A spike down to $2.45. at 1:44:59.p.m. on a Tuesday followed by a full rebound. It's never good news when things like thus happen. There were rumors of it going into bankruptcy which the company quickly denied. Was someone purposely spreading this rumor for self serving reasons? From my point of view the uncertainty caused by this occurance adds an extra layer compexity to the long journey that this company endured. Will institutional traders worried about liquidity issues and the preservation of capital change their attitudes on this stock? Traders, for reasons I don't understand seemed to quickly brush this incident off. The company has recently raised more money and has cash on hand. Production numbers in 2025 were somewhere around 16,000 units and are now estimated to be around 21,000 units in 2026? This nervous dip muddies up the waters around this company.

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?
