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.

Cat Puts or Calls - Going Into A Friday Morning.

First, a one day chart of Caterpillar on March 4th.
Now a March 7th five day chart. Can you see how it jumped in the last two days?
Now these closing readings on Thursday.
The above chart shows how the calls traded on the day and below the Puts.
Little volume and low open interest numbers. The real time to be watching these positions wil be thirty minutes into tomorrow's action looking for a reversal. Let's continue. Its Friday morning. Here we have a 9:46 a.m. printout of the 300 series Caterpillar Calls.
Take your profits, go away and forget looking for a reversal. The open interest number indicator doesn't add up. The deadline to get out of option positions on a Friday is 3:30 p.m. Here is readout of how these Calls were trading at 3:08 p.m..
Anyone with the guts to play Puts on the day could have done extremely well. Getting in after 10:a.m. and out around 2:00 p.m..
It baffles me why more traders do not have opportunities like this on their radar screens. Where is all the AI trading? I don't see it here. *** A look at the 340 Calls on Caterpillar on the following Friday, March 15th. It's pretty much the same story. Plenty of action on Friday with a relatively low amount of option trading.
