Boeing" And "Tesla" On A Nervous Opening. Both Are Worth Watching

Boeing's chart. It's Calls that expire this Friday. A flat five minutes on the opening. Tesla, now 24 minutes into the opening is also deciding what it wants to do in this space. The Tesla Calls expire tomorrw while the Boeing Calls don't expire for four days. Here now is a look at the Tesla Calls with the same striking price which expire this Friday. They cost more than double to purchase however this printout is 25 minutes later after the stock has rebonded over $3.00. What attracts me to these two situations? First they both dropped a chunk in price on the previous day. Boeing has a cloud over it's head with rising oil prices and concerns about the debt the country is piling up on defense spending and Tesla is caught up in SpaceX coming soon news which is getting a lot of attention. It's a case of buying on the dips and discounting the possibilities of the bottom falling out of both of these stocks. Now a 10:30 a.m. look at these same Boeing and Tesla options...

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 us? It tells us option traders in general stay away from trading the "release of earning reports" on Caterpillar.
Now the one week out Call options.
Low open interest, a low volume of trading and relatively big pricings considering the these are only slightly "in-the-money" Calls which might take a few seeks to gain value. The bottom line is that this stock really got beat up and going forward it's going to be again upward journey. It helps that they are buying back their own shares. ** Now a look at how Caterpillar traded at the close on Monday April 29th.
#####
The volume of Calls traded is very light. That's suprising.
