Last night, Twitter announced that Elon Musk revived a bid to buy for Twitter at the original price of $54.20 per share.​Shares of Twitter climbed 22% to $52 last trading day. I don't want to discuss why Musk change his mind on Twitter again. I want to talk about our trading opportunities.​

Twitter shareholders voted Sept. 13 to accept the buyout offer as Musk submitted it. The company said at the time that 98.6% of the votes cast were in favor of the deal. That means the deal price of $54.5 is almost the final price.

Usually, before the transaction closes, the market price will be a discount from the deal price, that is, Twitter's stock price will not exceed 54.5 in a short term. So we can start to sell Twitter's call options.

I will trade it tonight, Sell Twitter's Call with the strike price of $52-54. I choose prices that is 95% of the deal price. If you are risk averse, Sell Call with the strike price of $54 or $55.

If Twitter stock price falls below $50, I will sell put options with a strike price of $43-44, which are 80% of deal price.$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$​​

    What if Elon cannot get financing for the deal? $TWTR goes kaput immediately. Sell call will be safer option

      he surely can get one, but the matter is whether he and the banker can compromise and get the agreement acceptable by both parties or not.

      This fellow always talk or do something without thinking.
      I don't even want to touch his company's stock, lest I suffer losses because of his whims.
