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...

Five Day Options on Tesla

First a Monday morning August 12th premarket look at Tesla. First a thirty day chart.
Tesla has a lot of moving parts which means that no matter how much you study the dynamics of how it operates you never can predict which way it is going to move next. Here now is a look at this coming Friday's 200 series of Calls and Puts. These numbers show closing Call prices of the closing markets last Friday.
Do they look kind of expensive? It looks like you need a price swing of at least five dollars over the next five days to make any money trading them. What a daunting challenge. Let's move forward. Let's look at the days closing numbers on these two series of Calls.
Notice how the open interest number in the Calls is unchanged. These numbers will only be updated before the following mornings openining. Now the Puts. There are always more Call than Puts outstanding.
Now lets jump into the action on Tuesday morning at 11:49 a.m. . Tesla is jumping up.
Now here it is now at the end of the day.
Now think back to the start of the week when the 200 seres of Calls where trading at $560.00. Day traders, take your money and run.That's what daytrading is all about. It helped that Musk had an interview with Trump which was widely watched. The two seemed to be able to work together. For Tesla that's a good thing. Yes you can sometimes buy Telsa Calls on a Monday morning. To be continued. *** The next day which is Wednesday July 14th. Here is how Tesla in trading in the first 30 minutes of trading. Sitting in Telsa calls for to long is never a good idea.
What's next? Thursday. Look at its chart and the 200 series of Calls we started with. Not every week goes this well.
Now Friday's end of week readings.
Tesla was up $16.12 on the week.
