"Nio". So Much At Stake.

One day option trading. Look at "Nio's" one day chart. What a waste of time it is you might say to look at junky options on junky $5.00 stocks. I know, "Nio" has kind of a checkered past. Monthly sales numbers however have just increased significantly. If that's the case why did the stock dip on the opening? That's a missing link in this puzzle and something we have to discount based on the opportunity that this quick price drop created. ... A thirty cent price drop happened on this stock on the opening and this week's Call options took a major hit. Obviously catching this morning's sell off using Call options as a trading vehicle was the way to go. Where these Call options are going to go from here is something I will track. Last week I talked about another stock in a rebounding mode called Hertz. When I pull up it's trading pattern today we can see the same thing happening again. $.19 cent Call options now trading at $.60 in one day. I do...

How bad was their earnings report? Do you think their pain and suffering is all now behind them? The stock is down 38% on the year. All I know is that they still seem to be making a pile of money.

Since that time and for whatever reason the stock in on fire. Both Boeing and Caterpillar also crashed last week on earning report releases. There seemed to be a hint of danger present in both companies releases. It's almost as if there was a domino effect. Next question? Why is Netflix gettng beat up? Look at it's chart. Is ...

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

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 ...
