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...

Charts Don't Usually Do This So Quickly. FedEx

Look at this chart - it was early into a Friday morning. I am sorry I ignored it.
It was Fed Ex and I was too busy to be watching it. My first thought when I saw the drop was that here is a perfect example of how a stock can drop and then be held perfectly still at a lower level. I often see this kind of a chart formation and know that it is often a precursor to further price declines. Yet I overlooked something. It's Fed Ex and this stock has a history of over amplify bad news and then somehow discounting that news.
......
The chart above shows its one year trading history. It's a power house business which has a history of getting knocked down. Now this.
Can you see how some traders were not afraid to buy in on bad news? In this case there was time after it crashed to get in on the buy side. Now a look at next weeks Calls to see the slightly different trading action.
NOW LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS SOMETHING SUPER IMPORTANT. Look at the open interest now in these next week Call option. OPTION TRADERS ARE SMART. THEY KNOW HOW TO PLAY THE GAME. Pick your battle and run. There are now only eight open contracts on this series of Calls! Yes eight. The consensus now is that this particular option series is now to risky to hold onto. (I will check back in a few days to show yu how they are doing). The end.
