Options for Beginners: Early Exercise Can Lead to Higher Profits
Why Exercise In-The-Money Options Early?Beginner options buyers often firmly believe that for profitable options, they should either close the position or wait until expiration to exercise. Early exercise is seen as wasting time value.However, in some situations, early exercise may actually be the wiser choice.The first scenario is when the underlying asset has a massive upward move, making the call deep in-the-money (or a massive downward move making the put deep in-the-money). While this is certainly a welcome development, deep in-the-money options often suffer from poor liquidity. At this point, if you decide to lock in profits, you may find that the bid-ask spread due to low liquidity can eat into a significant portion of your gains.By exercising early, since stocks generally have much

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
Market Risks Priced In, May Decline Expected to Narrow to 3%
Fading rate cut hopes and geopolitical uncertainties fueled a sell-off in large tech stocks, leading to a Black Friday for US stocks. The S&P 500 broke below the 4,000 level. The Nasdaq saw its sixth consecutive day of declines, the longest losing streak in over a year. American Express lifted the Dow Jones to close higher.Options market data showed expectations for a narrowing decline in the S&P 500, with a drop of less than 4.4% expected by May 17th. For QQQ, the expected decline narrowed, with a 2.1% drop projected by May 17th. For small-caps, Russell 2000 options implied a tightening range, with a 1.5% decline and 6.7% upside cap expected for May.Details:The $SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust(SPY)$ options overall showed a slightly bullish tra

$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ failed to withstand the squeeze pressure and plunged towards $800. The overall market had a significant number of options expiring on April 19th, with a heavy tilt towards puts, creating a resonance effect. As my friend said, it seems like we have an "option expiration day" every month now.Despite our thorough analysis this week, our optimism was a bit excessive. However, the silver lining is that after experiencing this minor squeeze, we'll be more cautious when we encounter similar option expiration setups in the future.Although NVIDIA's stock price took a substantial hit, there's some good news.

May sell curse early warning, institutions continue to bet bearish
Impacted by hawkish Fed rhetoric, strong economic data, and rising Treasury yields, the S&P 500 saw its first five-day losing streak since October 2022 this week. Semiconductor stocks sold off heavily, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunging, hurt by TSMC's downbeat outlook weighing on overall chip growth expectations.Options market data showed diverging investor expectations for the future. S&P 500 options reflected slightly bullish sentiment, but upside was expected to be limited near-term. Nasdaq options had a slightly bearish tilt, with investors positioning for relatively contained downside risks. For small-caps, Russell 2000 options trading indicated bullish sentiment, with investors mainly taking defensive stances by selling puts.Details:The
Hello everyone! Today I want to share some option stratgies with you! 1.People have messaged us asking why we are not doing a lot of optionselling earnings trades this week. We appreciate ya'll thinking of us. Answer: Purposely avoiding adding more trades to our basket. We are trying to reduce our current positions and have had to roll a few positions already. We also try to avoid trading too much during OPEX week due to the wild swings and uncharacteristic movements of the market, which sometimes can exaggerate the post-earnings move to where our typical risk cushion doesn't hold up. We prefer to avoid that situation. Good luck to everyone who is writing options during this crazy week.2.Anyone gonna sell puts on $Nasdaq100 Bull 3X ETF(TQQQ)$ to t

With the rise in risk sentiment, the market's heavyweight stocks have also begun to pull back. Although the performance of the seven tech giants this week has not been too different (except for $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ), investors have significantly different expectations.Among them, the IVs of $Apple(AAPL)$ and $Alphabet(GOOG)$ have reached a historical high for the past year, which means that investors expect a large volatility to occur next (usually negative).And the tech giants' earnings reports are in two weeks.

$NVIDIA (NVDA)$ The TSMC earnings report is crucial, and NVIDIA's stock price trajectory this week largely hinges on TSMC's performance. If TSMC's earnings are favorable, NVIDIA's stock price is likely to close above $850 on Friday. Conversely, if TSMC's earnings disappoint, NVIDIA's stock could slide to around $800. After all, this week's outstanding put options for NVIDIA are heavily concentrated at the lower strike prices of $800, $850, $820, $840, and $830.As a steadfast bull, I anticipate that TSMC's earnings will boost NVIDIA, allowing it to maintain a level above $850 this week. However, a dip to $800 is also within expectations, potentially triggering a squeeze. A squeeze, similar to GameStop (GME) being driven to $800, refers to a short-c

Powell Hints at No Rush to Cut Rates, Yet Markets Grow More Bullish
After Fed Chair Powell hinted that the central bank is not in a rush to cut rates, U.S. Treasury yields rose on Tuesday (16th), with the 2-year yield briefly touching 5%. U.S. stocks were volatile before closing mixed, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite falling for the third straight day, while the Dow Jones snapped a six-day losing streak, led by UnitedHealth.Options trading data shows diverging investor expectations for the future.

Oil Call Options hit Record Volume! ETFs & Bull Call Spread Strategy for You
1. Oil Call Option Volumes Are SoaringAfter Israel vowed to respond to missile and drone attacks from Iran, trading volume of crude oil call options surged to an all-time high. On Monday, trading volume of Brent crude oil call options approached 350,000 contracts, surpassing the record set in 2019. The premiums for these contracts relative to put options also rose to the highest level since October. Source:BloombergAccording to market sources, the majority of trades are focused on establishing new bullish positions and transferring existing contracts bought in the weeks leading up to the Iranian attacks.

Middle East Turmoil, Retail Data Weigh on U.S. Stocks, Call Options Poised for Rebound
The Middle East unrest and stronger-than-expected retail sales data weakened expectations for Fed rate cuts, causing the VIX fear gauge to surge, and stocks continued to fall on Monday (15th). The Dow Jones fell for the sixth consecutive trading day, with the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq both closing below their 50-day moving averages.The S&P 500 index options market overall had a slightly bullish sentiment. The number of call options held increased rapidly, but put option open interest remained above the one-year average level. The most favored new call options were the September expiry 600 strike calls, reflecting investors' expectations that the S&P 500 index will rise nearly 19%. For put options, investors used a spread strategy, expecting the S&P 500 index to fall no more
$NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$ - The Nvidia options market is expected to replay last week's battle, with market makers continuing to pressure both calls and puts. The 900 calls ($NVDA 20240419 900 CALL$ ) and 850/800 puts ($NVDA 20240419 850 PUT$ , $NVDA 20240419 800 PUT$ ) remain the targets to be crushed. So after taking out the 900 calls on Monday, the next 4 days will be a defense of 850. Holding 850 could allow for a minor bounce, but failing to defend it will likely trigger a squeeze down towards 800. The trading mindset remains similar to last week:Eit
