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. ...

Snowflake and Charts

What the heck do I know about Snowflake? Not much. I know it's symbol. I have Snowflake and First Solar Inc. next to each other on one of the screens I watch and all I know is that their options are volatile. Today is Wednesday Dec 11th.
.....
If the stock was worth $185.00 two days ago why is it only worth $171.00 today? Should I scurry around looking for recent news to help figure out why it is down? At ten a.m. this morning the stock is relatively flat. What does that tell me? It tells me that traders are reassessing the causes of the damage that was done. At the same time I am mystified by the recent spikes in Boeing, Tesla and Rivian. Yet than again there are plausable reasons why those stocks are going up. Rivian is getting money, Tesla has a million things happening.... Which brings me back to Snowflake and First Solar Inc. Their stories don't get quite the same amount of attention. Here is how the 172.50 Calls are trading at 10:05 a.m.
Times change.
It is now 10:33 a.m. and look at those same options.
Ten a.m. on Wednesday morning are good times to be looking for stuff like this. A 12:24 p.m. update.
Picking a time to get out is the difficult part. Now nine minutes later.
What ended up happening on the day? First the one day chart.
Now for this suprise.
There was lots of warning in the mid afternoon that things were starting to change. Wednesdays are great days in the week for action like this. ** How did First Solar trade?
It's five day chart is kind of a flip of a coin.
These Calls are actually pretty cheap given that they are "in-the-money". Here now is it's one day chart.
My thoughts as I have said before is that buying Calls on a Thursday morning that expire the next day is a bit of a trap. Time value quickly can work against you. Wednesday options do not seem to have this worry.
