Tesla And The Play Of The Week - An Easy Read.

Here is Telsa's five day chart. Can you see how it spiked to the upside on Friday morning before it tanked? Can you see how as the day progressed it dipped down to the support level of the $210.00 range? Here is its one day chart. Now this. Lucky in all this action are all those individuals who purchased one day Puts on Telsa in the first few minutes of trading. Look at how these Puts reacted. The lows of the day happened in the first few minutes of trading. Look at the pecentage gains. In the last example a $1.00 option went to $190.00 in one day. Catching one trade like this could make up for twenty bad trades. What's all this talk of Ai trading? Moves like this could blow up the exchanges if thousand of trading platforms could recognize this could happen. This was one of the best option trading opportunities of the decade.

China Car Production

Here are the top 19 countries in the world that produce cars.
Here are tho top 10 Chinese EV makers.
The chart is wrong! It's missing Telsa.
Telsa and BYD are fighting for the number #1 and #2 spot. BYD now has their own special news happening.
Also noted is that Canadian production is off by about half it once was in less than ten years. Let's now talk about Nio. Nio is number three on this list and regularly one of the most actively traded EV stocks on the NYSE. It also has the fastest EV racing car in the world. Here is it's one year chart.
Options on stocks in the five dollar range can delight if you catch the right direction. Nio has hit a rough patch as of late. Back in January 2021 this stock was up to over $61.00 dollars per share and production has ramped futher up since then. It's expanding it's sales into Europe. It could take off again if and when production numbers go up. It's not bad to be #3. Here is yet another Chinese EV play called Li Auto. It's ranked as being #5 on the top ten list and has plans to produce 800,000 units next year. Remember everything now is focused on units built. There is more to the story. First, here is it's five day chart!
Now look at yet another stock called VFS. It has big dreams which seem to be coming closer to fruition.It is a Vietnamese EV company now setting up a plant in South Carolina and they are currently selling cars in North America and elsewhere.
Look below at how it popped when it first got listed on North American exchange. There is a story behind that - it came out as a"Spac" and the float they released was very small of their total outstanding shares. The stock has gone sideways for a long time since released.
They potential have a small "box-like" truck as part of their portfolio and also make E bikes. They actually make a lot of E bikes. At some point in time going forward the laws in the U.S. may change, making rebates on the purchase of EV bikes the new norm. Now here is the lastest part of the "VFE" story.
Notice Lucid and Rivian were lumped together in the same camp based of unit production expectations.That theme guiding prices movements of EV stocks is now prevalent. Polstar now has this news. It is cutting back it's exposure to this space.
It's good is that they have just got additional funding.
Then there is Fisker falling below the $1.00 price range which has set off regulatory alarms. That's something they will have to figure out. Like it or not,the world is flush with money that is ready to float the boat in this new evolution. It's going to be an exciting ride for many investors.

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 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

I Wonder How The Back Office Is Going To Handle My Complaint

Image
The blog is about dealing with the back office of the brokerage company I trade with. This story happened today. Todays trading session has closed and I just made a telephone call to them just after the market closed to voice a complaint over how I feel I got short changed. Here are my background notes. 1) It involves trading the 370 Boeing Puts that expire at the end of this week. I bought in at 10:08:34 a.m. and sold out at 2:59:38 p.m. I was stuck in this position longer than I had hoped. I got lucky and did O.K., however that is not the point. 2) Here are my two "in-and-out" tickets. Two contracts in at 10:08 a.m. at $163.00 each and two contracts out then "at-market" for $365.00 each at 2:59.38 p.m. Now here is Boeing's one day chart. It dropped precipitously from 2:59:00 p.m.to 3:00:p.m. I just happened to be watching it at the exact time of the crash. That's when news came out that the "FAA opens Now a Boeing Inquiry over 787 inspections"
