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...

Capitalizing On Monday Morning Exuberance - Roku

I have spoken about Roku in past blogs( April 29th, March 27th, Feb. 17th). I like playing sideways moving stocks. Here is an entry point I made at 1:52 p.m. last Friday. I purchased two Roku May 24th 58 series of Calls at $129.00 each. The stock was going sideways all week and then dipped a touch on Friday. Would new life come into the stock?
Monday morning saw excess exuberance so I got out of my Roku position without waiting to make more.
Here is what the chart looked like.
I like selling into strenght like this. At 10:05 a.m. I got out at $2.97. Remember I got in at $1.29? Here is it's one day chart.
Not a bad time to sell out with Roku at 10:10 a.m.being the high of the day. I did try to play it down after I sold out however I was off a few cents in my entry point of my Puts purchase and then I didn't want to chase it. At the same time another stock was peaking and attracting my attentions. Carmax. It's not a stock I follow but I just happened to see it spiking. Other companies in the same space where also up. Would it be a short term bubble? Look at it's early morning chart. Here is what I did and how I made out.
I got "in-and-out" of two little Puts in just under an hour. Here is how the stock traded on the day.
There wasn't much there to be made.
In the past most of my experiece with Monday morning exuberance is in Boeing. With the markets as of late being so strong, multiple opportunties now exist.
