【Options Insight】Weekly Options Roundup: Profits Amid Tech & Precious Metals Swings
U.S. markets have seen intense volatility across tech, precious metals, and semiconductors. These moves create prime options trading opportunities. Let’s dive into our community’s standout plays turning market swings into profits[Cool]!
Palantir’s Q4 earnings report has stirred up the markets. The company posted 70% year-over-year revenue growth, blowing past market expectations of 62%. However, the stock has seen wild swings. It’s down 22% so far in 2026, with a 7% gain followed by a 12% drop in the two days post-earnings. With a P/E ratio exceeding 200x, concerns over an AI-driven valuation bubble have weighed on sentiment.
Palantir’s growth is fueled by its unique deployment model. It combines AIP, Ontology, and AI forward-deployed engineers to help customers realize product value quickly. Still, the firm faces long-term risks. Analysts flag intensifying AI ecosystem competition, potential declines in success rates amid market expansion, and lingering valuation concerns.
Amid these wild market swings, how have our community members been positioning themselves in Palantir options? Let's dive in!

Silver and gold ETFs SLV and GLD have faced a historic sell-off. GLD tracks gold spot prices, dropping over 5% in two days. It fell nearly 4% on Thursday, matching gold’s slide to $4775 an ounce. SLV follows silver prices, crashing over 25% in the same period. It has wiped out all 2026 gains and plunged 40% from its Jan 29 record high, its worst turmoil since 1980. A surging dollar and fading safe-haven demand have turned precious metals sentiment sharply bearish.
GLD’s performance links to gold’s role as a dollar hedge and geopolitical safe haven. SLV gains support from precious-metals sentiment and industrial demand, with about half its use in solar, electronics and autos. Both face sharp near-term pressures. A resurgent dollar cuts appeal to dollar-denominated assets. Fading geopolitical risk erodes safe-haven flows. Leveraged investors liquidate positions amid equity sell-offs, and SLV faces extra stress from higher leverage, prior high valuation and weakening industrial demand.
Would you stick to trading SLV and GLD, or turn to options to ride this precious wild metal swing? Let’s see how our community members have used options to lock in gains from this dramatic sell-off!

AMD’s Q4 earnings report has stirred up the markets. The company posted 34% year-over-year revenue growth to $10.3 billion, blowing past market expectations of $9.65 billion. However, the stock tumbled as much as 17% the day after earnings, its biggest intraday drop since October 2018.
AMD’s AI and data center momentum drives growth. Data center revenue jumped 39% YoY to $5.38B, with key MI-series chip deals alongside OpenAI, Oracle, and the U.S. DoE. Yet near-term risks persist, including soft Q1 revenue guidance, stiff competition from Nvidia and custom chip efforts, and a slowdown in China’s MI308 sales.
Such fluctuations have put AMD in the spotlight for options traders. Let's take a look at how our community is navigating AMD’s swings for gains~
