Mid Week Reversals Boeing.

I like Wednesdays for mid week reversals. This week is more difficult than usual because the U.S. is at war. These aren't normal markets with the projectory being down. So here is Boeing's morning chart at 10:26 a.m. The first hour of trading and the last hour of trading have the highest volumes of trading. Now two series of it's Call options. Notice the interest in the "at-money" Call options as compared to the "out-of-the-money". Call options. Daytraders are looking at "in-and-out" positions. Now this, a look at the movement one hour later. Boeing continues to go down. I have added a look at the 205 series of Calls. They are all sliding down. .... To add light to this situation look at what the DJIA is doing and it's five day chart, now at 11.45 a.m. There is an uptick. Now at 12:03 p.m. Things are stalling out again. What does Chat GPT say about this situation? All three series of these Calls are taking a beating. Now this at 12...

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?
