McDonald's. It's Difficult To Fight Strong Stocks.

Here is McDonalds five day chart at the close on Wednesday. Now here is it's three month chart. Now consider this. In two days the stock is up about twelve dollars. I often talk about Wednesdays being the one day in the week the markets can do reverals. Today the DJIA was up over four hundred points and McDonalds was down 60 cents. It dipped on the opening and came back a bit and then selling pressure came into the stock again on the closing. I personally hate McDonald's food. The internet has tens of Youtube videos saying their fries are poisonous. Yet I get it. But think about this. Whenever a new residential subdivision goes in anywhere in North America there is room for another one of their restaurants to go in. They just pop up and everyone knows what they are. Here now is a snippet I posted in a past McDonald's blog. After a lackluster trading session today McDonald's could drop in the next two days or at least on a Thursday afternoon sell off.

Five Day Options on Tesla

First a Monday morning August 12th premarket look at Tesla. First a thirty day chart.
Tesla has a lot of moving parts which means that no matter how much you study the dynamics of how it operates you never can predict which way it is going to move next. Here now is a look at this coming Friday's 200 series of Calls and Puts. These numbers show closing Call prices of the closing markets last Friday.
Do they look kind of expensive? It looks like you need a price swing of at least five dollars over the next five days to make any money trading them. What a daunting challenge. Let's move forward. Let's look at the days closing numbers on these two series of Calls.
Notice how the open interest number in the Calls is unchanged. These numbers will only be updated before the following mornings openining. Now the Puts. There are always more Call than Puts outstanding.
Now lets jump into the action on Tuesday morning at 11:49 a.m. . Tesla is jumping up.
Now here it is now at the end of the day.
Now think back to the start of the week when the 200 seres of Calls where trading at $560.00. Day traders, take your money and run.That's what daytrading is all about. It helped that Musk had an interview with Trump which was widely watched. The two seemed to be able to work together. For Tesla that's a good thing. Yes you can sometimes buy Telsa Calls on a Monday morning. To be continued. *** The next day which is Wednesday July 14th. Here is how Tesla in trading in the first 30 minutes of trading. Sitting in Telsa calls for to long is never a good idea.
What's next? Thursday. Look at its chart and the 200 series of Calls we started with. Not every week goes this well.
Now Friday's end of week readings.
Tesla was up $16.12 on the week.
