  • Hi, My name is Steve and Im with Options Trading
    Research, today were reviewing our recently
    published article

5
  • Unusual Options Activity in Disney DIS

6
  • As many of you know, unusual options activity can
    be a valuable indicator as to what traders are
    thinking, and more importantly, where these
    stocks are heading in the short-term.

7
  • This is something professional options traders
    pay a lot of attention to, and for good reason
    Unusual options activity can tip off big moves
    in a stock, either up or down.

8
  • So lets take a look at some interesting
    activity that caught our eye this week Disney
    DIS is one of the largest entertainment
    companies in the world.

9
  • The company is known for its amusement parks,
    movies, shows, consumer products, and more. For
    a good description of the company, follow the
    link.

10
  • DIS is trading at 109.77 up 17 for the year.
    Thats 10 below the 52-week high, and 33 above
    the 52-week low.

11
  • So what does unusual options activity in DIS tell
    us?

12
  • Although DIS is having a good year overall, the
    stock plunged around the time of the market
    correction. It wasnt just the correction
    though, as the company released worse than
    expected earnings around the same time.

13
  • However, Disney could get a huge boost from a
    blockbuster movie (much like it did when Frozen
    came out a couple years back). You see, the new
    Star Wars movie is coming out in December and has
    massive buzz attached to it.

14
  • It certainly seems like the new Star Wars
    merchandise is flying off the shelves of
    retailers.
  • Heres the deal

15
  • This week, there has been a ton of buying action
    in DIS short-term calls. Keep in mind, a call
    option makes money when the underlying stock goes
    up before its expiration date.

16
  • To be more specific, multiple traders have
    purchased over 16,000 110 calls expiring at the
    end of this week. Prices paid have been from
    0.18 per contract all the way to 0.86.

17
  • Open interest shows this to be opening action.

  • You can see where DIS took in on the chin over
    the summer, but has since recovered nicely. The
    stock has shot past the 50-day moving average and
    is clearly in a bullish trend.

20
  • Obviously, traders have become very bullish on
    DIS. So, why are they buying short-term calls
    expiring in just a few days? Its hard to know
    for sure, but my money is its all related to
    Star Wars.

21
  • The new Star Wars trailer dropped this week and
    buzz over the movie is at a fever pitch. From
    what I can see, theres a significant amount of
    excitement building for the movie, and as the
    trailer

22
  • makes its rounds this week, the momentum is only
    going to build.

  • More Options Trading Ideas

24
  • Keep in mind, theres a lot more unusual options
    activity going on than what we discuss here. We
    just try to bring you what we feel are the most
    significant ones and the ones you might actually
    be able to make some money on!
