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.

"Out-of-the-Money" Call Options on Boeing With One Day to Go

Who likes trading options that expire that day? Let's move forward. First here is the five day chart of Boeing prior to it's Friday morning opening.
It looks like it could bounce. Part two, here is what I did. Look at times I got in.
In at 9:32.34 a.m. at thirty-two dollars each on four contracts and out at 9:43.07 a.m. at sixty-nine dollars each and also in at 9:34 a.m. at forty dollars each on two contracts and out 9:44 a.m. at seventy nine dollars.
These are ten minute trades picking off doubles in price. Here is a screen shot of how Boeing was trading during this particular period of time. I caught part of a one dollar early morning move up holding "out-of-the-Money" Calls. the ones that move the most percentage wise when they only have about six hours of trading time left in them. That is something to study.
Had I waited another ten minutes to get out I would of had given up all of my profits and had I held on to these positions until the end of the day I would have lost everything. Here is a one day chart on how Boeing traded.
Here is a look at how this series of Calls, the 212.50 Calls traded on the day. Eighty Four dollars was the high of the day.
The real winners in this secenaro were the 207.50 Puts. That's a different story which would have taken guts to play.
Movements like this happen every Friday.
