Disney

Few traders like trading options on Disney because the stock constantly disappoints. Look at these Calls which expire this Friday. Options on stocks in the 100 range offer good leverage and Wednesdays at noon mark the "middle-of-the-week" inflection points. Let's see what happens here. These Call options expire on Friday. To be continued. Now this, 36 minutes later. Is that good enough of a return? $1.05 was the low of the trading action. Now look at this "bid-and-ask" thirty four minutes later!

A Canadian Company Up 68% In One Day

Canopy Growth. It's one year and one day chart.
Now it's five day chart.
What's going on? Well let's start with why it surged last August.
So now what? Why did it pop this time? Well this time, like last time many of the stocks in the marijuanas space popped. Look at the last Fridays action in these other matijuana stocks.
Here is the news this time. Many sources talk about it in different way.
Now this.
So this kind of paints the picture of what is happening. Canadian companies have kind of got the jump on growing techniques after burning through billions of dollars in startup capital. Now they are all of on a mission to expand their footprints overseas. Skeptics of the industry who have witnessed these surges in this group of stocks might now tout this as being a good time to sell. Afterall there are millions and millions of outstanding shares and the daily volumes traded are at time quite insignificant.These are difficult stocks to play and even more difficult to play are options on them. Watching this segment of the market can be exhausting experience. A March 30th update. Look at how these stocks are trading one week later after this surge.
These numbers are diffcult to read so I will print them out. Sundial up another $.25, Canopy Growth up $.96, Village Farms up $1.03, Curaleaf up $.03, Tilray up $.16, and Aurora down $.67. Let the better times roll. **** To put things into perspective look at some of these ten year charts. Timing is everything. Look at the volumes of trading coming back into some of these stocks. What do you think is going to happen next?
More news, April 3th.

Waiting For A Drop On The Opening On Bad News - Eli Lilly

Image
Here is the bad news. The company is Eli Lilly. How bad is this news? Well look at it trading in the premarkets. So what do I think? I think the news is a setback of sorts, but not really all that bad. The stock is going to open lower, that's a given. It's like trying to play Boeing after an announcement that an airplane has crashed. So the stock is going to crash and it might have a small rebound and then it's going to slide down some more. A test of sorts will happen sometime in the afternoon. It might stock falling but then where will it go from there? The best case scenario is a recognition that investors got it all wrong and the stock ends up flat on the day. Yet there might be more of a downward dumping of the stock on the close followed by a selloff on tomorrows opening. Should option players be jumping in to play the upside on next week's Calls? That is the question. Here is a look at Boeing on the days after a crash. Day two after the crash was equally as ...

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 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...

Another Blog On "Vinfast"

Image
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. ...
