$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ $PLTR So…this Friday we find out which companies got added and taken out of the S&P 500 index. Palantir has been GAAP profitable for 6 quarters in a row (it’ll be seven in November), has a market cap well above the requirement, has a very liquid stock, and is in my opinion of the top 500 companies in America — and I say that with the core argument around how AI is operationalizing every enterprise/gov agency they work with. If AI is a decade long theme and the S&P $SPY committee cares about the most important companies in the world…it feels like Palantir should be a company they consider. The last two companies they picked, $CRWD Crowdstrike & $SMCI Super Micro,

Institutions Preemptively Roll Covered Calls, Nvidia Faces $118 Resistance
$Nvidia (NVDA)$'s pullback on Tuesday was unsurprising, but what caught me off guard was institutions rolling their covered calls already, when typically they'd wait until Thursday or Friday for premium erosion:Closing $NVDA 20240906 126.0 CALL$ Opening $NVDA 20240913 118.0 CALL$ overwriteFor the 0913 118 calls, I expect they'll look to close before expiration once the price is favorable, rather than holding to expiry. So theoretically, Nvidia's closing price in the week of Sep 13th doesn't necessarily need to stay below $118.Or does it?With the Sep 20th monthly options expiring, the Sep 13th close will likel

i dont think SP500 will move a lot either side till the interest rate decision in mid sep 24. could get support at 5500 and will end up the week at 5560 to 5575 region. 25p reduction is already priced in. market looking for min. 50p reduction in interest rate during sep 24 meeting. unless that happens, there won't be any new highs for SP500. i assume the rotation from big tech will continue for a few more weeks before market start rolling back from mid oct 24 onwards.
I do expect the VIX to surge all the way till the US presidential elections are over and till plans from the new president is clear. S&P 500 is diverse enough except it is now mainly driven by the top 7 stocks. If not, I would be inclined to add positions when others sell off in October. However, with the current top heavy representation in the S&P500, I would prefer to take profit and wait till the coast is clear again.
