Superb vol crush in NVDA. Great heads up call yesterday Fuzzy!

Krispy Kreme has been a dog since the IPO. But it’s up 6% at the open. Go figure. I’m long (small) via short Jan 12.50 and 20 puts.

STO TNA Jan2022 55 put for 3.98. IV at 99, IVR 86.

Clearly, I was too early. STO TQQQ Jan07 130 put for 4.50

Cameco is continuing its run. 69 IV and an IVR of 44. STO December 24/33 strangle for 1.09.

STO Dec23 130 put (19 delta) for 4.50. Looking to add at lower strikes on further weakness.

Bought stock at 49.81 and STO Jan2022 55 call for .75. Capturing some dividend (ex-div 12/31) from this 3.9% yielder. The stock is at the lower end of a 2 year long basing channel. Plan on adding some on any weakness prior to ex-div.

/NG and its IVR is finally cracking. Since summer, it’s been an ugly ride being short BOIL. Finally having a decent amount green on my screen.

Market is mispriced? Bought stock at 12.99, STO March19 13 straddle for 14.65. Free money?

Opened a Feb19 8/15 Covered strangle for 3.90 debit.

Greetings all. Been off for a little bit. Y’all may be onto this already. Given all the hoopla over GME price action, I just realized that XRT has an IVR of 88 and with an IV of 108. The IV is actually higher than TQQQs right now. One may consider this trade over GME. STO March 65 put for 2.65 in an IRA. Trying to get a 115/65/60 reverse lizard filled in a non-qual. acct.

Keep an eye on this one. Still 50 IVR on an IV of 136. After a ridiculous 4x plus move in Nov., it seems to be “consolidating” somewhat. Hard to call a 10% intraday move part of consolidation. But thing sure does move!

Take a look at X. It’s been on a massive rally recently. But I haven’t paid attention to the chart until now. The move is too vertical as of late. IV is 79 although IVR is only 21. For example, the 20 delta Jan 15/23 mid is 1.04 with only $178 BPR for us TastyWorks acolytes. X is up another .80 pre-market, so 20 delta strikes may be different.

One of the few stocks that’s up right now. STO Mar20 6 put for .53

STO Mar20 (3 DTE) 100 put in an IRA for 9.00 with the stock at 108. I could have waited for a couple minutes and gotten a better fill. But I chased it a bit.

An “are you kidding me” trade. STO Mar20 75 put for 1.80, immediate fill. 27 delta with 4 days to expiration, 78 IV, 110 IVR. 78 IV for a yute? AYFKM?

XLU has an IV of 51 and is yielding over 3%. A basket of utes with an IV like a tech stock? The 40 month EMA (54.08) or the middle BB on the monthly chart has been support since 2010. Adding to my existing long position. STO Apr17 57 put at 2.14.

IV is at 42, more like a tech stock. IV rank is 237. Speechless.

Crazy (?) pricing on puts. Rolled OXY Mar6 33.50 puts to Mar13 33 puts for .41 credit. Fifty cent lower strike for 5 days with the stock at 27. Keeping the dream alive another week.

STO DAL Apr17 40 put for 1.83 for an IRA. IVR is 93. If assigned at this level, the div. yield would be 4%.

The VIX is tagging the 3 standard dev. upper BB on its daily chart, which is typically where it needs to be for us to get a market bounce. Also there is an ongoing negative divergence with the 5,3,3 stochastic in 1 hour VIX chart. With this setup, most of the time the market bottom is signaled after the first indication of negative divergence. Rarely, it takes a 2nd or 3rd indication to signal a short term market bottom. Looks like we will need a 3rd wave. I hope the chart snippet of the 1 hour VIX chart will clarify my description.

I just noticed the coorelation has popped above the zero line for the first time since the beginning of the month-long market pullback last May.

Two days to expiration. STO BA Jan10 320 put for 2.65.

This biotech has a shockingly high IV of 290 and a 92 IVR. 😀 STO 1 Dec20 25 put (8 delta) for 1.30. The bid/ask is stupid wide.

BTC LULU Dec13 215 Put @ 1.15. Opened yesterday afternoon at 2.28

I just noticed options are now trading in BYND. IV is around 106.

Rolled ROKU May17 weekly 78 puts to May24 77 puts for .59cr. I’m leaning slightly positive delta in this position, which includes a Jun21 80/90 strangle.
