Another Blog On "Vinfast"

There is so much to read about this companies history online. Do your own homework. Their success is not dependent on what ends up happening with their sales in North America. They are nimble. There are plenty of auto factories all over the world now for sale they can acquire. They have dabbled in Australia. Having access to money to keep going doesn't seem to be their problem. Rivian also seems to enjoy this advantage. Vinfast is currently building a new plant in India which could employ thousands of people. That's an emerging new market. New relationships are being built and new investors will be coming onboard. Are option players looking at this stock? Not really if we look at these "one-month-out" Calls. What about Calls further out? What about next January? Here is a look at the three and four series of Calls. Nobody seems willing to bet Vinfast Calls. Now this. Here are two snippets taken from a blog I wrote about this stock back in early December of 2024. ...

Exxon And Tesla One Week Options

Exxon's five day chart is obviously going in one direction. Or is it?
Last Friday was a strong day for the markets and Exxon jumped up even more. Here we are now on a Monday morning and this week's Call and Put options are priced equally. Which one is going to win?
As usual, there is more interest in the Calls than in the Puts. Let's also look at what might happen with Tesla this week. Oct 10th is now touted as being a "make or break day" for Tesla as it will be their "Robo-Taxi-Day".
I am not a big fan of trying to play Tesla options with one week to go because their premiums are so expensive. As for Exxon, I would be more inclined to follow the direction of it's recent trend. Let's watch and see what happens. To be continued. 1) Obsevation #1 on a Monday morning. Look at this.
Early into the morning trading the Puts have dropped down from the $1.80 level. Can you see how tight the "bids" and "asks" are. This helps to make them pleasant to trade. Buy five or ten of them at one time and profit on any small move the stock makes. With Tesla option traders don't have this luxury. To much money needs to be put out (the contract sizes are larger) for short term trading oppportunities like this. Here is how the Puts closed the day.
A look at these same Puts on Tuesday morning.
Would it be time to get out? It would be tempting to sell. Forget the Calls. Playing them for a rebound is going to be to much of a struggle. Now look at this further dip.
This second screeen shoot was taken fourteen minutes later and can you see the $2.60 price hit $2.90? Here is how they closed out the day.
Now Wednesday morning. This is a good day of the week to catch a reveral.
Might now be time time to cosider a slight rebound?
Now Thursday evening.
Take your money and run. Why play one day Calls on Exxon if you have a profit? What happened to Tesla? It's Friday morning.
The 250 series of Puts that started the week at $10.12 on Friday's opening are now worth $31.94
Now here is how they closed the week.
Options on Telsa with five days to go are pretty scary animals. Exxon not so much so however this was a week for it of unusual volatilty. Next week's activity will be anticlimatical to all this action.
