One Day Puts On The Stock Eli Lilly At 2.31: p.m. On A Thursday Afternoon

The DJIA is up something like 850 points on the day. Eli Lilly has jumped $50.00 on the day. Happy days are here again. If the markets cool on the opening tomorrow (Friday) could the stock give up some of these gains? If so what would these Puts do? Might the stock give up 25% of what it gained today? Now it's five day and one day chart. $850.00 for a Put on a stock that has jumped up over $50.00 in one day. It's a Put that expires tomorrow. Is this a recipe for failure? At 2:42.00 p.m. the DJIA is up 899 points. Now the action at 2:47:00 p.m. Now this. In at 2:31 p.m. if you like at $850.00 and out 38 minutes later at $1,100.00. That's a gain of $250.00 and all you did was skim a small gain off a hot market. Maybe that could be your trade of the day to avoid all of aggrevations of what might happen next. It would be catching the tail end of a 950 point one day rally. That in itself is not a bad strategy. Now a 3:30 p.m. update. Another small gain. Let's see what ...

Vinfast Hits The Lottery! And AMC. "Action On One Week Five Dollar Options"

Image
This post is easy to write. It's also something skeptics of option trading should read. Look at how all on the options exploded on this one. Here is why. Both of these articles were from Nov26th and 27th. Why the time delay in having this stock pop is something I don't understand. Back on Sept 5th and Oct 27th I did I blogs on this stock. Go back and read them. Both times I ended these blogs by saying "Do your homework on this one". Read my blogs about playing options on $5.00 stocks. Here now is how Vinfast closed the day. Now look at how the five series of Calls closed on December 5th (with only one trading day of life left in them). Profits on options on five dollar stocks come and go quickly. Here is a quick look at another company with $5.00 options that expire tommorow which had a few hours of glory in the last two hours of trading today.
