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 Week Options. Are They A Good Bet In Times like This?

Look at how these these four stocks traded last week. 1)
What a great week for one week Call option players on Boeing even though the stock ended up down .83 cents on the week. 2) Roku. Roku hasn't yet recovered from a not so good quarterly report. Roku lost $1.13 on the week. (Netflix in somewhat the same space was up $35.780.)
3) Disney suprised. I talked about that in a recent blog.
4) Now Caterpillar. It was up $12.83
Now The D.J.I. was down .11% or basically flat. In good times Call options can be your best friend. To be continued. Now let us look at the next week's action. Let's begin with Boeing. Here is it's Monday March 4th one day chart.
Look at the buying opportunity which presented itself around 10:00 a.m. Next Roku. Look a how it traded on the day. Can you see how buying in on the opening would have been a mistake? That is a common theme with one week Calls on a Monday morning. Buying into it during the late morning was better.
Now Disney. First it's one day movement.
Note the strong open interest numbers.
Now Caterpillar. Last week it had a strong run up in price so it would seem to be more vulerable to a breather on the opening today.
All this happend on a day when the markets were down.
To be continued. Now a Wedneday after the closing bell update on March 6th. Everything is down.
Two days of going sideways like this is unheard of. Now Roku
It's 30 day chart tells us not to expect to much in the next couple of days.
Now Disney. It suprised last week on unexpected news. Not so much this week.
When the open interest in a series of Calls like this starts to creep up you know the option makers want to see the stock flounder for a few more days. Now Caterpillar. It's down. It still looks like it has some upside.
A March 9th weekend update. Boeing 198.49, Roku 64.50, Disney 110.32 and Caterpillar 339.19. The D.J.I. fell .9%. It was the second weeek that this index went sideways. Let's check in on these four stocks at the end of next week.
