How to Profit from IV Crush in Earnings Season?

During earnings season, IV Crush refers to the sharp decline in implied volatility (IV) after a company's earnings report. Before earnings, IV rises due to uncertainty about the outcome, causing option prices to increase. After the earnings release, this uncertainty dissipates, leading to a rapid drop in IV.

The Leader Is Back! How Should We Approach Options Strategies Now?

The leader of American retail investors, Roaring Kitty, is back with a post! He shared an image inspired by the cover of Time magazine, featuring a blank computer screen resembling a YouTube media player. This seems to be a modified version of Time's December 25, 2006, cover, when "You" (the American public) was named Person of the Year.Since the post didn’t include any explanatory text, day traders quickly began speculating. For example:Unity Software (ticker: U) surged by as much as 8.2% intraday before closing up 4.9%.Clear Secure (ticker: YOU) reversed its earlier 4.6% decline but ultimately fell 1.1%.As a classic meme stock, GameStop (ticker: GME) soared 14% at one point before giving up most gains, closing up 5.9%. Another popular meme stock from the same era, AMC Entertainment (tick

May Volatility Expected to Subside, Institutions Position for Longer-Term Downside

The surprisingly cooler U.S. April jobs report stoked hopes for an earlier start to Fed rate cuts, sending the VIX fear gauge to a one-month low and pushing Treasury yields lower. Apple rallied nearly 6%, leading tech stocks higher.Options market data suggested expectations for reduced volatility in the S&P 500 near-term, with a sideways bias this week and potential for the index to finish Friday below 509. QQQ saw continued buying of longer-dated downside protection.

May Volatility Expected to Subside, Institutions Position for Longer-Term Downside
I had been buying $Sea Ltd(SE)$  since it dropping. I have faith and confidence in this company. The 3 business models for gaming, e-commerce and digital banking are making profit now. Therefore, I do not see why the stock price will not be going up. You must keep for long term and you can see the price shot to the moon. None of its competition is new. SEA is the dominant player in its markets, of course it won't grow as fast as someone just starting out and burning billions! SEA has challenges, certainly, will require patience no doubt, but as a long term perspective, I don't see how not to be long on SEA. I will keep buying. Great long opportunity. My target price is $80 by end of Aug 2024.

This week, the decisive battle for NVIDIA revolves around $800

After examining Friday's new options positions, I feel there's no need to wait until Monday's market close. I can assert that this week, the battle for NVIDIA's stock price will revolve around the $800 level.Specifically, I'm optimistic that NVIDIA will be able to maintain a price above $800 this week, although upside may be capped around the $840 level.Let me first share the overall picture of NVIDIA's options. Although some might regret missing last week's plunge, there's no need to worry, as the next major options expiration event is on May 17th, when the monthly options for May expire, with a significant number of open interest contracts. However, the specific dynamics will depend on the price movement preferences in May, for which I'll conduct a thorough analysis as we approach that d
