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 Calls After Two Strong Upward Days of Trading

This blog follows a blog two days ago following the same thing. This time it gets more interesting as the stakes get higher. Here is how the Boeing did on the day. Will it keep risng tomorrow?
Here now are the premiums on the 190 and the 200 series of Calls we talked about in our last blog.
Now the 200 series.
In our previous blog these trading numbers were $1.92 and .31 cents. At some point in time in the near future the 200 series Calls will burn themselves out if the stock doesn't pop higher. It could. Let's see what happens next. The volume of Call option activity tripled over what happened the day before. Rising stocks attract attention. Thursdays and Fridays may suprise on the upside but Wednesday mornings can sometime bring reversals. Mid week option trading (Wednesday) I enjoy doing usually centres around one hour plays just afer lunch. Everyone trades differently. I would be getting out of Boeing after a little surge like this. More to follow. Now the action in early morning Wednesday trading. Note I talked about how this day of the week can have reversals. As Boeing opens strong look at how the "out-of-the-money" 200 Calls surge upwards. Look at how the 190 series of Calls keep going up.
Now here is where the Wednesday change of attitude can kick in. Look at these two 12:24 p.m. readouts. Boy things have changed. The 200 series of calls after a spectular run could now be toast.
Finally, this how Caterpillar closed the day.
What's next? What is the sweet spot? Well it's not six dollar Calls that expire in a few days.
