Among these, notable picks include $Meta Platforms(META)$$Eli Lilly(LLY)$ and $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA)$Meta Platforms (META): With earnings set for July 31, Goldman suggests buying straddles before IV spikes. T

Reviewing Yesterday's NVDA Trades and Outline Today's Trading Plans
$英伟达(NVDA)$ As what I noted yesterday : NVDA Pre-Earnings Plunge: Will the Surge in Implied Volatility Trigger a Sell-Off?"My plan was to sell calls at $800 if the stock rebounded, otherwise to sell puts at $580-600 if the stock price dropped 3-4%. However, my actual trade that to sell puts at $580 when NVDA stock price was $680. Last night, IV continued to surge, reaching 170% for at-the-money options, compared to the previous day's 140%+. With the stock price at $680 and seeing a put premium of over $3 for the expiring options at a $580 strike, thus I sold puts expiring this week.Regarding the financial report, it beats all expectations. The annual revenue for 2023 surpassed
NVDA Pre-Earnings Plunge: Will the Surge in Implied Volatility Trigger a Sell-Off?"
$英伟达(NVDA)$ stock had a big drop last, before its earnings, seemingly influenced by two pieces of news: 1) Microsoft is developing a new product to reduce dependence on NVIDIA graphics cards, and 2) Silicon Valley startup Groq, with its self-developed LPU chips, claiming the LPU chip is 10 times faster than NVIDIA GPUs.While these announcements may not immediately impact NVIDIA's sales for the current year, they have tempered investors' enthusiasm, serving as a reminder to the investors of the competition and challenges that NVIDIA faces.There's already been plenty of analysis on its earnings, I won't delve into it. I currently don't hold any positions in NVIDIA due to the rapid rise in stock prices.Before, I had considered selling some calls ahea
$3倍做多20年期以上国债ETF-Direxion(TMF)$ is an ETF which is daily 3X $20+年以上美国国债ETF-iShares(TLT)$. I am not really bearish on US Treasury bonds. Actually, I have sold TLT puts, as I mentioned before, Treasury bond bottoms are certain, and selling puts can be a good choice for a while.But TLT rose as much as 10% in November and it was one of the most crowded trades. It continued to rise in December. If I keep selling TLT at a safe exercise price, the premiums will be little. If I raise the exercise price of selling puts to $90, I don’t think it is safe. Since long-term U.S. bonds do not have such an increase, TLT has room for correction.I am willing to sell TLT puts at an exercise price of $87-89. I think it should c
