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...

Trump Says "We Will Be Off To The Races When China Calls".

First Solar tanked on the opening (a Wednesday) on news of an economic slow down and Trump talk. At 9:43a.m. the D.J.A.I is down 630 points.
First Solar took a hit.
Now this about ten minutes later. The stock has stabilized. Volume on the Call side is increasing.
One trade at $2.86 and the spread between the "bid and ask" actually widening. It's the catching the falling knife syndrome. Now this.
The DJAI keeps going down.
Twelve minutes later strenght has come into these Call options. The spread between the "bid and ask" remains crazy high. The stock has stopped falling.
Where are these options going to be in ten minutes time which will be 10:20 a.m. Can you see how nerve racking playing this sell off is?
The "bid and ask" are now tigher. Normalcy is returning. Or is it?
Now a recap. $2.99 at 9:48:00 a.m.,$4.00 at 10:00 a.m. and $5.40 at 10:10 a.m. Only 29 contracts traded during this time period which tells us that option traders are not conditioned to be playing these kind of moves. Nor is Ai trading considering the millions of dollars they spend on tracking and profiting from market moves. Yes you can catch a falling knife. Notice that this stock started to rebound before the DJIA stopped falling. Successful Call option traders had to recongize that. Now a 11:20 a.m. reading.
Notice the increase of only one Call option traded? Now the final end of day pricings.
The DJIA closed up 148 points. :::::: Now a next morning look.
The end.
