McDonald's. It's Difficult To Fight Strong Stocks.

Here is McDonalds five day chart at the close on Wednesday. Now here is it's three month chart. Now consider this. In two days the stock is up about twelve dollars. I often talk about Wednesdays being the one day in the week the markets can do reverals. Today the DJIA was up over four hundred points and McDonalds was down 60 cents. It dipped on the opening and came back a bit and then selling pressure came into the stock again on the closing. I personally hate McDonald's food. The internet has tens of Youtube videos saying their fries are poisonous. Yet I get it. But think about this. Whenever a new residential subdivision goes in anywhere in North America there is room for another one of their restaurants to go in. They just pop up and everyone knows what they are.

If it ever rebounded back up to that level in the next couple of days or weeks these options would probabaly jump up twenty percent. In other words, "one-year-out" Call options on stocks in this price range offer amazing leverage. The fact that they are one year out doesn't rule out the possibilty that you could be "in-and-out" of them with a decent profit in a relatively short period of time. On a differing note, options on stocks in the five dollar range can sometimes suprise. Here is a stock I talked about before it had some big moves.
For now, stay clear of all Moderna and Eli Lilly Call and Put options. That plus learn to appreciate that long term options can be used for short term gains. *** The same Ford Calls the very next day on the opening.
Now here they are two days later.
Here they are again. This time ten days later.
Look at the one day volume pour into them. Something has changed in the auto building industry to make this light turn green! Once again, long tern options on Ford can be an amazing trading vehicle.
