September 17, 2010: Easy A, The Town, Devil

I'm doing an abbreviated post today, and a day late, because I am dealing with some family stuff that requires my attention.

Easy A: Up recently, but down today. Great reviews, at 82% on RT. Strike price is H$15, and the call is doing well, while the put is below a buck.
Stock: Long
Call: Long
Put: Short

The Town: Same as Easy A: Up recently, down today. Even better reviews, at 92%. You go, Ben Affleck! Same strike price, although there is more of a disconnect between the options and the stock.
Stock: Long
Call: Long
Put: Short

Devil: Down quite a bit recently, not a great sign. From M. Night Shyamalan, although he didn't direct it, and his brand isn't what it once was. Same strike price, but with opposite movement.
Stock: Short
Call: Short
Put: Long

Alpha and Omega is dropping off a cliff. Same strike price again, although it's completely ludicrous. Looks utterly cliched.
Stock: Short
Call: Short
Put: Long

Update Sunday afternoon: Not a bad weekend, considering my abbreviated post. Ben Affleck did quite well, with The Town very nicely exceeding expectations, with $23.8 million, adjusting up almost H$20. Easy A did well, but not quite as well as expected, with $18 million, adjusting down about H$5. At least it beat the strike price. Devil and Alpha and Omega didn't, although the cartoon did slightly better than expected, and adjusted up a smidgen. That means that I got almost everything - 10 out of 12 - right.
