Opportunities Presented by Options on $30.00 Stocks.

Let's start with this chart. It's Pfizer. Would you have expected a pop like this, this morning? Now look at what the Call options did. I don't want to get into a discussion of "Can you read charts" however after one nice rally yesterday and second follow up rally could be expected. The 29.50 series of Calls doubled on a strong opening this morning. "Out-of-the-money" Calls on stocks in the thirty dollar price range call sometimes suprise.

Tesla. One Day Calls On A Day the DJI Jumped Over Four Hundred Points On A Friday

Call it window dressing. It was the last day of the first quarter of the year. I forgot how that works. Institutions sometime collectively bid up the stocks that they are invested in a last minute attempt to dust upwards their quarterly performances. Look at the one day Telsa Calls. They jumped a touch on the opening. Even after they jumped on the opening it wasn't to late to get in.
Then what?
At 9:54 a.m. the 200.00 series of Telsa Calls were trading at $1.14 per contract. Over seventy thousand contracts had traded. Now look at the chart of how Telsa traded on the entire day. It kept going up.
Now guess what they closed at and look at the increase in the volume traded.
How good is your memory? Use this tip every March 31th going forward. It might make you a couple of thousand dollars. Three final comments. 1)
Tesla for now is the king of building electric vehicles. How can the small guys make money in this new industry? It's hard. 2) You can't randomly expect to purchase random Call options on Tesla every Friday and expect to make money everytime. Here is a trade I made a week ago on Tesla trying this same strategy and I lost.
3) Read the second blog I ever posted on this site back on Sept 23nd 2019. It was about trading Tesla three different times on a Friday as it blasted upwards in price. Tesla Calls on a Friday should rank as being about a number "7" on a current options players list of top ten strategies. 4)****** An April 15th update. I want to mention one this that makes trading on Telsa so unique. It has to do with the bids and asks.
There is only a three cent spread between the bid and ask. That makes getting in and out so much easlier.

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

Image
Some say to think small, not big. Trying to play Disney options is thinking big. It is a stock slighty 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-mas

The Crazy Last Day of Option Trading In Tesla.

Image
First, look at it's five day chart. Big jumps everyday. If you try and jump in and play the downside everyday you will quickly get beat up. Here for example is one look at the Tesla 235 Puts on Wednesday at 9:34 a.m., only then to check out the same Puts a few minutes later at 10:15 a.m. How do you know what to do? Well you don't fight stocks running up over $8.00 in the first thirteen minutes of trading. Now here is how these Puts were trading at 12:59 p.m. The game is to sell the Puts when the stock is rising and then cover them to be out of the markets at a profit by the end of the day. It's not the small fish playing this game. Now today is Thursday July 4th and the markets are closed. Tomorrow is Friday July 5th.These Put options will be expiring at tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. If Telsa opens down two or three dollars on the opening there is the potential for a small reaction. They will still however be extremely "out-of-the-money". They might jump a touch i

Deere Lays Off /Tesla / Eli Lilly/ Home Depot/ Nio

Image
It was announced today, a Tuesday that Deere is going to lay off some of it's workers. Perhaps that news was leaked out last Friday and that's why it could have sold off last Friday afternoon. The stock basically has done nothing over the last three years but some traders love it for it's thirty day swings. I have talked about Deere before. The markets were accepting of this news. In other news Tesla Call option traders are rejoicing. Image getting in two trading sessions ago at $196.00 to watching it shot up to over $230.00? This was (it's up in the premarkets again) the Telsa trading opportunity of the year! Then there is upside movement in Eli Lilly. But then there is this background news. Now this. Talk of a hurricane. Will Home Depot go up? Then there is Nio. It's shares trade huge volumes and the stock has a wide following. Might it trade back up to $6.00? It's down almost half price on the year. One of the problems in trying to anticipate what m
