Boeing - A One Day Chart That I Now Like / Boeing and Deere

Here is is. Why do I like this chart? It spiked on high volume in the morning and volume came into it on the close. So here is what I did. If you see charts like this you could be also be doing this. On a cautionary note Boeing has hit a rough patch as of late but this trade might be good for a one dollar profit. If it happens take the money and run. If you miss a four dollar move to the upside so what. Here is a fill at 3:37 p.m. on a Tuesday which I could have got for less a few minutes later. I bought one contract for $2.01 or two hundred and one dollars. Here is Boeing's five day chart of torture. What might happen? Could it stumble on the morning trying to get fresh legs? Maybe. Here it is at noon the next day. Here is what I did. I am trying to show first time option traders the sizes of trades they can do. I got out at $2.42 at 11:12 a.m. It's American money. Look at the chart and see how it was trading then. What next? Today is now Wednesday which is a good day fo

The Stock Nio. Do You Know It?

Interesting action this week. The company had an earning report but more importantly was a release of the number of units they have recently produced. They are still as of yet to break even. The day they break even will be a day to rejoice. Once again all investors really care about are production numbers. This has being an exhausting ride for buyers who bought the stock back at $40.00.
It's jump from four dollars to five dollars has being noted. Look first at it's one day chart above and the volume of trading on the five series of Call late into the action on Friday afternoon.
Sometime after 9:58 a.m. when we first looked at these Calls at $.06 cents or six dollars a contract they sold down to $.02 or two dollars a contract and then rebounded back up to a high on the day of $.20 or twenty dollars a contract. Is any this action playable? Well in this case the options jumped up in about a fifteen minute period of time. If you look at the one day chart you can kind of figure out when that was. You would of have being kind of quick to catch both the highs and lows. In two of my past three blogs I focused on the topic of playing five dollar Call options. They are scary. Anyone buying the $4.00 series of Calls on Nio at the start of the week have done very well. Some people don't like the transparency of Chinese companies. I get that however Nio has become a global player in the electric car industry. Once again , options on five dollar stocks can sometimes suprise. **Nio was the most activity traded stock on NYSE this week up $.98.or 24.3%. Nio popped again ion the following Monday, Sept.9th. Options on a five dollar stocks can sometimes be on fire.

A Fireside Chat - One Year Options and Thirty Day Options. Which is Better?

Image
Some say to think small, not big. Trying to play Disney options is thinking big. It is a stock slighty out of favor. If we start with it's a three year chart, we will see it is down by about 50% over that period of time. Now it's one year chart. If the stock can break 110 in early 2024 the sky is the limit. It does have a lot of moving parts so anything could happen. Look at these Calls options one year out. One year in options buys a lot of time.They look reasonable. If the stock ever inched up to the $105.00 price level in the three or four months these options would jump up in price by about 50%. Even more if they had really good news. Yet it's the "what-if" aspect of the equation that castes such a trade in doubt. "What if" stories just don't cut it. There are to many variables in play. Then again, why are we even thinking of long-term Call options after a December's rally? Let's switch gears. If consumers are out spending for X-mas

The Crazy Last Day of Option Trading In Tesla.

Image
First, look at it's five day chart. Big jumps everyday. If you try and jump in and play the downside everyday you will quickly get beat up. Here for example is one look at the Tesla 235 Puts on Wednesday at 9:34 a.m., only then to check out the same Puts a few minutes later at 10:15 a.m. How do you know what to do? Well you don't fight stocks running up over $8.00 in the first thirteen minutes of trading. Now here is how these Puts were trading at 12:59 p.m. The game is to sell the Puts when the stock is rising and then cover them to be out of the markets at a profit by the end of the day. It's not the small fish playing this game. Now today is Thursday July 4th and the markets are closed. Tomorrow is Friday July 5th.These Put options will be expiring at tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. If Telsa opens down two or three dollars on the opening there is the potential for a small reaction. They will still however be extremely "out-of-the-money". They might jump a touch i

I Wonder How The Back Office Is Going To Handle My Complaint

Image
The blog is about dealing with the back office of the brokerage company I trade with. This story happened today. Todays trading session has closed and I just made a telephone call to them just after the market closed to voice a complaint over how I feel I got short changed. Here are my background notes. 1) It involves trading the 370 Boeing Puts that expire at the end of this week. I bought in at 10:08:34 a.m. and sold out at 2:59:38 p.m. I was stuck in this position longer than I had hoped. I got lucky and did O.K., however that is not the point. 2) Here are my two "in-and-out" tickets. Two contracts in at 10:08 a.m. at $163.00 each and two contracts out then "at-market" for $365.00 each at 2:59.38 p.m. Now here is Boeing's one day chart. It dropped precipitously from 2:59:00 p.m.to 3:00:p.m. I just happened to be watching it at the exact time of the crash. That's when news came out that the "FAA opens Now a Boeing Inquiry over 787 inspections"
