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...

Tesla Puts With One Day To Go - This Time After A Trading Session Where Tesla Was Up More Than $15.00 On The Day

So, here they are nine seconds into the Friday morning trading session. If you wait two minutes to get into the action the dynamics of the situation may look considerably different. At this particluar junction if you have the guts to get in it's best to do it "at market". The bid and ask are tight.
Now 1.5 hours later.
As a trader wouldn't it seem like a good time to get out? It is afterall a Friday and there is always be more opportunities next week? Now look at it's five day chart. Are you able to see the massive rally of about $15.00 on Thursday on the news of interest rate cuts? Call option traders trading Tesla would had a grin on their faces.
Do you think it will drop more? To better answer that question here is one indicator as to what the markets are doing.
Now let's skip ahead and see the final readings.
So a morning exiting was the correct call to make. At 11:00 a.m. these Puts were trading for $2.80 and another twenty minutes later they went as high as $4.41. Now a look at it's closing one day chart.
By noon the stock was back up to $240.00 making the options impossible to trade successfully for the rest of the afternoon. ** From past experience what I have learned is that you can only successfully trade Friday afternoon Calls on Tesla on strong days when the stock is up six or eight or ten dollars by noon. Those days sometimes happened quite frequently a few years back. Some trader's use Tesla as their "go-to" option trading vehicle because of it's known volatility. I will try and do a few more "Friday Tesla Morning Trading Blogs" going forward.
