What Do I See Here? It's Disney In Nose Bleeding Territory.

First it's five day chart. There was news this morning which might be attributable to this morning's jump in price. Ai news should always be taken with a grain of salt as it doesn't add to the bottom line profits overnight. The markets jumped today big time. Do markets sometimes take a pause after big jumps like this? That's the question and that's why I am attracted to it's one day Puts today just prior to the closing bell. A fifty cent selloff in tomorrow's premarket or shortly after would cause these Puts to jump by 50%. A double in price on the Puts would take a bigger move down than fifty cents. Might the stock give back one half of what it gained today? Here is how it is trading in the aftermarkets on Thursday. One concern is the light open interest numbers.

Roku Jumped in Anticipation Of A Good Earnings Report

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 ...
