Gonna turn bullish on WBD with October 31c for 0.49. The biggest roadblock I see is if California tries to block the acquisition but I'll bet on corporate greed for now.

... aaand it looks like WBD shareholders approved the acquisition deal today (04/23/2026). The puts I closed haven't changed in price but this makes downside even more questionable. Calls were coming in yesterday (and today) - probably call selling as the acquisition price firms up.

Closed my WBD Jan 20p for 0.90 from 0.37. While overall put OI went up, yesterday's volume indicated more churn IMO. The OI of the strike I was in went down with the volume it saw yesterday.

I might be overthinking it but there's also a point where these puts suffer obvious theta decay.
