McDonalds Again And A Follow Up To Yesterday's Blog..

Some option traders on Friday mornings just want to be in and out in the first hour or so of trading on short term options they feel comfortable trading. In the second half of the day most of the action calms down. Take your winnings and run. McDonalds sold off a little bit yesterday afternoon and firmed up a bit towards the closing. Could this "mostly downtrend" continue? Here is a partial look at the opening bell's action, today a Friday however let us first look at how the stock traded yesterday. Now a look at it's trading pattern at 9:32.22 a.m. Now this, McDonald's jumps up $4.98 and the 317.50 Puts we followed yesterday which are now "out-of-the-money" acted accordingly.

Lordstown Motors and Polestar

Friday afternoons are the ablsolute worst time of the week to make such announcements if there is a chance investors might reacte negatively to such news. It doesn't give the markets much time to allow this news to sink in. Mondays are better when people are more in a forward thinking mode.That's exactly what happened as you can see from these charts. But first the news.

Look at the money they are pouring into this company and isn't time of the essence to get the project closer to the finish line. Will this news eventually end up being viewed as a good thing? How much value do you place on this new companies expertise? It has to be worth something. Here are the January Calls with a 7.50 striking price. I am not saying to rush out and buy them. What I am saying is that this sector of the market is getting a lot of attention as of late and this could be an interesting play.
Perhaps a striking price of 10 with one year to go might be a better way to play it. Or just stay away and watch how things unfold over the next little while. This stock has had a rocky ride. Here are two other electric car events that happened in the last week.
Now Polestar and a new issue.
Look at the volume of trading on this stock on Friday, simply crazy and here are next weeks 10 series of Call options on it.
An Oct 5th update. It's not good.
