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. ...

"One-Day" Puts That Crazy People Can Play - Netflix

Read the previous blog first, about Exxon on Friday. The Puts on it's last day before they expire options increased in price in the last few hours of trading. So to did the Puts on Nexflix on that same afternoon. Can you see how it sold off six dollars in the morning trading session (the first chart below) only to rebound almost three dollars? Then the stock got tested again and this time it lost it's steam.
Then what happened? Well here are the 470 Puts at 12:08 p.m. which expire at 3:00 p.m. The stock looks like it is trading in a channel downwards. See the chart below.
What next?
Yes the stock continued to drop approaching the 3:00 p.m. deadline/ expiracy time date. Now look at the same series of Puts at 2:12 p.m. They were trading at $490.00.
Looks so easy right? Let's check out it's five day chart and it's year-to-date chart.
Yes on Friday it looked like it wanted to roll over. * Two things. The reality of trading short options like this. Lock yourself in a room and run a bunch of moniters. Lots of cool stuff can happen on a Friday afternoon. If you going to play in this market focus on stocks in this price range. You need a stock that can swing three or four dollars in one day. Lower priced stocks do not. Big swings at this time of the day - like plus or minus $1.00 swings in fifteen minutes often happen. At some point in time take your profits and turn off your computer. There will always be another trading day. ** On the following day Netflix was down after $12.00 mid afternoon. What a drop.
Keep all of this in mind the next time you are thinking of the stock. It can move quickly.
