      “This is the LARGEST oil supply disruption in history with no clear end in sight. > Brent crude oil has surged to $115. A 25% jump in a single day. On a Sunday night. > US stock futures have now erased over $2 trillion. > And there are ZERO signs of this slowing down. The last time the world saw an oil shock this severe was the 1970s. That crisis caused gas rationing and double-digit inflation.”

      Post-earnings NVDA Swings Wildly; Avoid Naked Directional Options

      $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ s earnings report exceeded expectations again, but its stock price fell sharply by over 5%.These past 2 days, Nvidia's earnings report has once again taught all options traders a lesson: earnings significantly exceeded expectations, causing a surge in after-hours trading, but the next day it plummeted 5.7%, wiping out nearly a trillion dollars in market capitalization overnight.This kind of "good news priced in, surge followed by a fall" pattern is a classic example of a double whammy in the options market—bulls get trapped, and puts may not even profit; once volatility recedes, both contracts plummet.Since August 2024, every earnings report seems to be followed by a period of decline.I've experienced this market pattern all too wel

      @TheBeautyofOptions：
      The explosive rally of $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ was primarily fueled by the blockbuster announcement of a strategic partnership with Meta Platforms.$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ will deploy up to 6 GW of AMD's AI compute chips, representing a potential multi-year order valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars.This massive deal solidifies AMD's position as a credible challenger to $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ in the AI accelerator market, overshadowing recent concerns about near-term guidance and operational expenses.Follow @TheBeauty_Options , who gains 15 Yrs Equities Journey, Learned Options at CBOE in 2012.I have a
