Unusual Options Activity in Ford Motor Company (F)

Again in the NYSE, we saw unusual or noteworthy options trading volume and activity today in Ford Motor Company (F), which opened today at $19.97.

• There were 22,500 contracts traded on the $28, $27, $22, and $20 strike call options, all dated for January 21st, 2022, and sold at the bid.
• These contracts represent approximately 3,150,000 shares and $4,300,000 in premium traded.
• Of note, only the $28 strike call option had volume above its open interest, and it was sold below the bid at $0.11, with a bid-ask spread of $0.12-$0.13.
• It could therefore be assumed these positions are being closed, not sold to open, but that will be apparent at Friday’s open taking a look at the chains’ open interests again.

As Mr. Jim Cramer has been discussing Ford consistently as of late, we have investigated Cramer’s ability to move the prices of his favorite tickers.  In fact, we have found that:

Cramer’s show had a detectable impact on stock daily returns. More interestingly, we found the once lauded phenomenon known as the “Cramer Bounce” seems to now be a “Cramer Dive”."

As seen, the volume today is not enough to account for the chain itself, so it may be presumed this trader has closed these positions, and that Friday’s open interest will have decreased by the requisite 22,500 contracts from this order.
