To The Moon

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$  the company has seen strong performance in 2024, though it faces some challenges, such as losses from its Reality Labs division and controversies surrounding its AI assistant. Nevertheless, Meta is expected to report robust revenue growth, which could impact the stock price positively.

Here's how to take advantage of IV crush while expecting the results of Meta:

1. Sell High-IV Options Before Earnings:

By selling options (both calls and puts) before earnings when implied volatility is high, you can capitalize on the premium decay that occurs post-earnings. Selling options allows you to benefit from the IV crush, where option prices decrease as implied volatility falls after the earnings report.

2. Straddle/Strangle Strategies:

Implementing a straddle (buying a call and a put option at the same strike price and expiration date) or strangle (buying a call and a put option at different strike prices but the same expiration date) can help you profit from significant moves in either direction. These strategies allow you to benefit from the IV crush as long as the stock price moves significantly in either direction.
