Strong Days for The Electric Vehicle Stocks - Well Not Really

Here is a one day printout of some of the electric vehicle stocks I watch. Notice their fifty-two week highs. Many of these stocks are trading near their lows. About six weeks ago many of these stocks were out of fashion based on the thinkings that the batteries they are running on are depleting the world of precious metals and will be difficult to dispose of. Yet consumers still want to go electric and a few companies had good news. Lordstown Motors (Ride) had good news. A year ago a Tiawan company bought their factory and this week that same company (Foxconn) invested more money in them. More details about this follows below. Lucid had good news. A Saudi public investment fund is its majority shareholder, and committed to putting in more cash this past week. Rivian's $32 billion market cap and Lucid's $22 billion market cap suggest that investors think they'll make it. Nikola has a market cap of just over $1 billion, its own truck plant, and $400 millian in cash, enough to get them through 2023.
Then there is Sono Motors. I have talked about them before. Their stock has recently tanked.
Yet the stock jumped on Friday.
What's going on with Sono? Whoppie Goldburg says that she likes them and wants one.
Now more about Fisker.
Fisker is abut to start production but Magna International (MGA) will handle their production. Pick a few of these companies and sign up to their mailing lists. There is so much to learn about.

What does the word disconnect mean? As a verb it means "to sever or interrupt the connection of or between; detach". Option trading - one day options - is a disconnect from the world. What happens to slightly "out-of-the-money" Call options on Costco when the stock shoot up thirty dollars on the day? I will show you what happened on Friday to Costco Calls and the options on a few other stocks I frequently watch. What a disconnect from the real world. But before that a look at how the indexes traded. 1) Costco. It's five day chart and a look at how three of it's option series moved upwards in one day. You may not know how to read these printouts but try to read the highs and lows on these option pricings. One printout shows an "at-the-money" option which means you are buying a contract on the stock, good for one day only at a locked in price equal to (or very close to) what the stock is currently trading at. The other two contracts shown are ...

The Little Engine That Could

Walmart again. It's all I seem to blog about. Here is it's five day chart. The stock keeps going up and the option series are set up in one dollar spreads. Even a fifty cent move on the stock moves the needle on these Calls. Look at how this series of Calls was trading yesterday at 3:00 p.m.. Now here is this same series of Calls just before noon today. Thirty days of upward action like this punctuated by the off day of decline. Now notice the higher volume of trading in the series of Calls with the higher striking price. These are the ones's with more leverage. At the same time look at the five day chart on Costco. The two stocks sometimes trade in tandem. Humpty dumpty sat on a wall .... a had a great fall. Someday soon a fall might happen but what a great ride it has been.

A Fireside Chat - One Year Options and Thirty Day Options. Which is Better?

Some say to think small, not big. Trying to play Disney options is thinking big. It is a stock slightly out of favor. If we start with it's a three year chart, we will see it is down by about 50% over that period of time. Now it's one year chart. If the stock can break 110 in early 2024 the sky is the limit. It does have a lot of moving parts so anything could happen. Look at these Calls options one year out. One year in options buys a lot of time.They look reasonable. If the stock ever inched up to the $105.00 price level in the three or four months these options would jump up in price by about 50%. Even more if they had really good news. Yet it's the "what-if" aspect of the equation that castes such a trade in doubt. "What if" stories just don't cut it. There are to many variables in play. Then again, why are we even thinking of long-term Call options after a December's rally? Let's switch gears. If consumers are out spending for X-ma...
