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...

Lets Start With Caterpillar Calls On A Friday Afternoon at 12:08 p.m..

Now this. Call options which expire later in the day.
Now later. Well actually one hour and sixteen minutes later.
Now Telsa.
Now Telsa later.
Now Boeing with a first look starting at 1:22 p.m..
Now thirty minutes later. It's still stuck.
Now for a look at what the markets were doing when we first started this exercise.
Now a look at the markets at 2:00 p.m. about two hours later. It's turning out to be a strong day.
It's two p.m. Some options have doubled since lunch time. Time to exit. Things can get screwy towards the 3.00 pm. deadline for retail investors to get out of option positions. This is a Friday only rule on all options that expire that day. They want you out so that your positions do not gt exercised.Check back later over the weekend to see how these options ended up closing out. Friday Call option trading is not for the weak of heart but it can be a profitable adventure if there is strenght in the markets around lunch time. Now here are the three end of day readings. First Caterpillar. Notice that they hit a high of $2.60
Now Tesla. When we checked them at 2:47 p.m. they were trading near the top range of the day.
Finally Boeing.
A hour in the market holding a Call or Put position that expires that day can seem like an eternity.
