Is Boeing Doing a Swan Dive?

The company is running on all cylinders. It has more orders than it can handle. Now look at how it is trading on the opening. There seems to be selling pressure on good news. The D.J.I.A. is not doing very much and it's a Thursday at 11:00 a.m. Now a personal thought. Thursday morning are one of the worst time of the week to be looking at Call options that expire on the next day. Period. That said, look at these "in-the-money" Boeing Calls that expire tomorrow. Buying "in-the-money" Calls on a falling stock can be a heart-rendering experience. . Now let's move forward by about forty eight minutes. What do you think could be happening? Charts like this can now start to wander. These could be dangerous options to be in. Now this, an end of day reading. Let me first ask you a question? Do you think Boeing will go up tomorrow?

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?
