Late To The Party Option Players - Disney

Can late to the party option traders make money? It's something to consider? These Call options expire this Friday. There was news on it before the opening today. The second chart below a few minutes later shows it hanging tough. At 10:01 a.m. we now checking out the Puts. The bid and ask on the Puts are very tight. That also makes us ask what happened to the Disney 101 Calls that we first looked at? Here is what the chart now looks like. More Call option players have jumped in to play the upside that the downside. Might one do a spread and try to play it both ways hoping for a breakout either way? That's an option to consider.

Boeing Calls on a Monday Morning And The DJIA Down 500 Points

Let's start with a few premarket opening numbers.
Not a happy opening. How do you tackle the week in option trading when it starts like this? Do you jump into Calls hoping for a rebound or do you stay away? Let's see the volume of trading on some of our favourite picks in the first five minutes or so of market trading. Note fifteen minutes into the trading day the DJIA is down about 500 points.
What is there to learn from this? Well don't expect a noon reversal. There might be buying opprtunities after three in the afternoon so sit tight and do nothing. Here are a few closing prices. Will the markets rebound and is this a welcoming buying opportunity for option players? No one knows and snap rebounds often accompany these major sell offs. Any kind of bounce on the opening tomorrow may be short lived. Here are the closing numbers.
Tomorrow we will look at "the open interest numbers" to try and see how positions increased as or if, computereized trading kicked in. Boeing seemed to sell off the least today making it look more interesting than others. Boeing has many daily news reports.
