"Boeing Calls" On A Friday Morning.

I wrote the very same type of blog about Boeing's trading pattern last Friday. In that blog Boeing went flat in price for the entire afternoon. Any profits to be made in the Puts happened in a very limited period of the morning's trading action. Might things today happen in the same way? The price of oil is suddenly up. That's not good for Boeing. Let's begin with Boeing's five day chart. Now it's one day chart on Thursday. Look at how the stock wandered back up towards the very end of yesterday. Could it inch up another touch on the opening and then run out of steam? Would this be a good time to be focusing on the 210 Puts? Experience has taught me not to be jumping into Calls options on Thursday afternoons to catch Friday morning rally. That's more something one might do at the end of the day (on Fridays) to catch a Monday morning bounce. Here is a look at what two series of it's Puts are doing and it's chart about eight minutes into Friday morn...

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?
