A Real Look At Ford On The Opening Yesterday.

The stock opened down and jumped at 9:31 a.m. Look at this chart. In our last blog I followed the trading pattern of it's Calls all day. Had you placed a premarket, "at-market" ticket on the 12 series of Calls your guarented fill on the opening would have reflected the drop in the stocks price in the first few seconds of the opening. Somewhere between 9:30:00 a.m. and 9:30:59 a.m. the 12 series of Calls dropped in price to $.57. Then in the first five minutes of trading they rebounded to a high on the day of $.76. "At-market", "premarket" tickets in this instance would have guaranteed that you would be part of this action. The flip side of this logic is that there were no guarentees that the stock was going to go up. The use of "at-market" tickets on stocks in this price range with four days of trading life left in them should be included in your bag of tricks. Scarier is the use of this type of order on "last-day-to-expiring" opti...

I see this companies electric vehicles on the road and I have to admit they offer a fantastic ten year warranty. Are they reckless in making such a offer when they have no track history? Might not high servicing costs come back to bite them further down the road?
Look at how the stock jumped this week on this good news. While high production increases are only one part of a companies story they are encouraging to their shareholders.
Visit there website and learn about their dealership network. The waiting game begins to hear about their next earning's report. Now look at these three charts.
Back on Sept. 6th I wrote a blog on "Nio", a chinese electric car company. Here is it's chart that I showed in that blog.
It shows Nio jumping 25% in one week. Now let's look at it's three month chart.
Recently I did some blogs on trading options in the five dollar range. The scary part is we have seen how other stocks in this space are down. Look at these four. None are up. All have a story but none of them are rewarding shareholders.
Lucid just made the announcement they are issuing new shares to help raise money. Other news.
Do your own homework on this one.

Waiting For A Drop On The Opening On Bad News - Eli Lilly

Image
Here is the bad news. The company is Eli Lilly. How bad is this news? Well look at it trading in the premarkets. So what do I think? I think the news is a setback of sorts, but not really all that bad. The stock is going to open lower, that's a given. It's like trying to play Boeing after an announcement that an airplane has crashed. So the stock is going to crash and it might have a small rebound and then it's going to slide down some more. A test of sorts will happen sometime in the afternoon. It might stock falling but then where will it go from there? The best case scenario is a recognition that investors got it all wrong and the stock ends up flat on the day. Yet there might be more of a downward dumping of the stock on the close followed by a selloff on tomorrows opening. Should option players be jumping in to play the upside on next week's Calls? That is the question. Here is a look at Boeing on the days after a crash. Day two after the crash was equally as ...

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

Some say to think small, not big. Trying to play Disney options is thinking big. It is a stock slightly 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-ma...

News on Polestar , Lucid (Trading After A Reverse Stock Split) Plus Ford News And Vinfast

Image
Look at the one year chart on Polester. Now it's one month chart. What's going on? It's confusing. It was down $.36 cents on the week. If you want you can spend $.20 or $.25 on Puts and hope that the company goes under in the next five or six months. They recently raised more money by releasing more shares so it's running out of options. You can't run at a loss forever and this news will most likely scare off potential new car buyers. This actually is a low number of outstanding Put options. The consensus seems to be that it is not game over yet. Lucid started trading this week on a "one-for-ten" reverse stock split. Here is its one week chart. It was down $1.39 on the week. It's also going to struggle. Both of these stocks have challenges ahead. On a more positive note here is a chart that looks kind of perky. Ford on the week. The stock was down $.03 cents on the week and it was the 3th highest in share volume trading on the NYSE. It appears...
