Tesla And One Of The Busiest Option Games In Town.

Here we are on a Friday morning with the DJIA index down over 1,000 points in the last three days of trading. Short term Puts nearly double everyday. Now look at Tesla's one and five day trading charts. Tesla was bombarded all week about news of autonomous driving. The narrative was relatively upbeat. Now at look at this series of Calls. Might Tesla suprise to the upside on the day? They did on the opening and then they dropped. Now this, how the indexes are doing at 11:15 a.m. They are only a tad better than when we first looked at them. .. Knowing that Friday afternoons can be a rough ride do you take a modest profit and get out? We did afterall miss the low of the day in this option series and part of the mini ensuing rebound. I would. Now this at 1:41 p.m. just under two hours later. The party for these Calls is over. This was a bad week for the markets. A short part two.

Since that time and for whatever reason the stock in on fire. Both Boeing and Caterpillar also crashed last week on earning report releases.

Caterpillar - It's First Quarter Earnings Report And Traders Are Staying Away. A Read Which Might Be A Good Reference Point Going Forward.

Image
Boeing rallied yesterday on the release of it's earnings report only then to tank. Caterpillar is tanking this morning in the premarkets. Let's begin with it's 5 day and 30 day chart. ... The world needs to be rebuilt and Caterpillar is there to help. It's growing, it's got a good reputation, it's not laying off employees and it's doing just fine. If it misses a beat on it's earnings report so what? Life goes on. Then there are those pesky analyst who are known to offer a convoluted spin on things. If you like Caterpillar just buy it on the dips and put it away. So the markets will be opening on the commentary by the companies C.E.O of "sales about flat". Phrasing it that way is a recipe for short term disaster. ..... The two printouts above show some of the early morning action in one Put series and in One Call series. What happened the next day? A slight rebound with next to no traders trying to capitalize on a rebound. What does this tell ...
