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. Disney has being a dog of a stock now for a year so might some profit taking set in? How is Disney going to pay for another theme park? With that on their plates forget any share buy back programs. They are taking on new risks in a period of global uncertainity. Are late to the party option traders best just to stay away from this unexpected situ...

Boeing - A Decision -Up or Down on a Friday Morning and Looking at Slightly Out-of-the-Money Calls As A Vehicle of Choice

Slightly "out-of-the-money" Call or Put options give you the greatest kick with only one day to go. With that in mind look at what was happening to the 222.50 Boeing Calls during the first hour of today's trading. On the opening the stock didn't seem to know which way it wanted to go and markets like this can be very exciting for option plays who want to make a flip in a matter of minutes. They just want to-get-in-and-out and never want to think about it again until next Friday morning at the same time.
Getting out an hour later was the name of the game. NOW Lets review this blog. It's saying to put a bid in at the opening on a Friday morning on slightly "out-of-the-money" Calls on Boeing that expire that day. At what price? Well in this case which is extreme (that's what your looking for) it's saying not to have a bid in on the opening but rather a bid in during the premarkets. In this case you would want to have a premarket bid already in at let's say somewhere in the range of one quarter of what it closed at on the previous day. I can't say an exact price but you can use what happened on the opening this morning as a future guide. Is that a good strategy? It depends what you consider to be good. It could be if your style is to "get-in-and-out" quickly with a winner takes all attitude in the first thirty minutes of trading, followed quickly by a mindset of cancelling all of your outstanding buy orders and walking away for thr rest of the day. Option playing doesn't have to be an all day obsession.
