Another Blog On "Vinfast"

There is so much to read about this companies history online. Do your own homework. Their success is not dependent on what ends up happening with their sales in North America. They are nimble. There are plenty of auto factories all over the world now for sale they can acquire. They have dabbled in Australia. Having access to money to keep going doesn't seem to be their problem. Rivian also seems to enjoy this advantage. Vinfast is currently building a new plant in India which could employ thousands of people. That's an emerging new market. New relationships are being built and new investors will be coming onboard. Are option players looking at this stock? Not really if we look at these "one-month-out" Calls. What about Calls further out? What about next January? Here is a look at the three and four series of Calls. Nobody seems willing to bet Vinfast Calls. Now this. Here are two snippets taken from a blog I wrote about this stock back in early December of 2024. ...

Watch Boeing Jump On News

First some news as the markets opened. Horwmet Aerospace offered this sobering news.
Then good old Joe made this statement.
Now the opening chart.
When I see opening charts like this I always want to play it in the opposite direction. What was my take on all of this news. New contracts are great, people are flying again and ticket prices are up. It's all good but Boeing doesn't really need more deals and orders. They are still trying to get back on track. Would this morning bounce go away? I thought so, I jumped in on Puts.
In at 9:45 a.m., 9:48 a.m. and 9:50 a.m. . I was confident in what I was doing but the stock seemed to stay persistently high.
Then I got frustrated with how it was trading and bailed out.
I sold all four contracts at 10:42 a.m. at $2.61 per contract so I only made a touch. I was in this position for just under an hour and was starting to worry about a second wave of buying coming into this position.
This chart above illustrates how they jumped higher in price after I got out and the chart below shows how Boeing traded on the day.
In hindsight these Puts reached a high of $3.70 at 11:50 a.m. I also did a short chase of Boeing as it rebounded but once again didn't have the patience to stay with it. Here is what I did.
In at 11:51 a.m at $375.00 and out at 12:29 at $430.00. a period of time of 38 minutes. I left good money on the table. I went on to successfully trade Visa on the downside and got out of that position 3:59:21 p.m. The DJIA closed down 156 points on the day. Visa released this news after the markets opened this morning. It sounds ambitious but seems a touch risky.
