Towards Understanding The Usefullnes Of Long Term Call Options

What do you think of this chart? It's Moderna. It's going to do something but what is it going to do? Up or down and what time horizon should we be looking at? Should it be two days, a week or perhaps two or three months? Here is the chatter about it. Moderna got smoked and now its time to get over it. It's that simple. Here now is how it is trading the morning after. For option traders this is kind of a "no win" situation. Yes it could move up but it could also start to waiver again. Stay away. Now Moderna on the following day. Here is a new chart to look at. Here is what caused the dip. It has had a good run. So now what? Maybe the longer term Calls? Maybe however there is a problem with them. Built into the equasion on both of these stocks is the mindset that they are both going to recover from these tumbles. Look at how expensive these two different series of twelve dollars "out-of-the-money" Call options are on Eli Lilly. It's ridiculous....

Canadian Owned Electrameccanica. Another Look At It. Also a One Year Later Comment.

Zoom, zoom goes this little electic vehicle. It's a one seater with only three wheels cruising in a lane reserved for two people cars. Their new factory to build them in is soon to be finished. It's in the U.S.. So much for investing on home turf. Earning reports just came out. I have talked about this company before. Go to their website and listen to a ten minute company report. Everything seems very upbeat. If they can ramp up their production to 20,000 units a year everyone including investors will be happy.
Pick the model stlye you like and pick the color. Go to their website and give them your credit card number. A deposit of $250.00 will put you on the buyers list. But wait, Frank Stonach has plans for his three wheeled "Carit" to be built in Ontario. Before you make a decision on any three wheeled companies future you might want to check out some of the driver's reviews found on the internet. They are not the safest vehicles around.
Other parts of the world are building three wheeled electric vehicles at a torrid pace.
This one looks like a toothpick waiting to get knocked over. Here is how Electrameccanica has preformed.
Do I like this stock? Not really. Why not? Well the company seems to have wasted a ton of money so far to get to where they are at now. Things for example like promotion. They have attended all so many national auto shows. Why? The real danger is that some day down the road they may need to raise more money. While Electameccanica has cash in reserve right now if they are not strong on execution things could look different very quickly. That's one of the problems with so many of these preproduction stage companies. The January 2023 Calls with a striking price of $2.00 now cost $.25 cents or twenty five dollars a contract and are lightly traded.Insiders are not jumping to get onboard.
They are not a very good bet. January 20th 2022 is like only a half a year away. Building a new factory is going to cost money. It will be a period of "let's add to the hype". What an exhausting ride so far for existing shareholders. Polestar and Fisker are two other companies waiting to get going who are in this same boat. Until they all start to sell vehicles there isn't much to get excited about.
**** August 23th. Another electric vehicle story. This time Canadian made electric snowmobiles.
An update one year later. Electrameccanica is looking for new opportunities and lawyers are now chasing them.
