How to Profit from IV Crush in Earnings Season?

During earnings season, IV Crush refers to the sharp decline in implied volatility (IV) after a company's earnings report. Before earnings, IV rises due to uncertainty about the outcome, causing option prices to increase. After the earnings release, this uncertainty dissipates, leading to a rapid drop in IV. This decline impacts options prices, often causing them to decrease even if the stock price moves favorably. ----------------- How to take advantage of IV crush in earnings season?

I had been buying $Sea Ltd(SE)$ since it dropping. I have faith and confidence in this company. The 3 business models for gaming, e-commerce and digital banking are making profit now. Therefore, I do not see why the stock price will not be going up. You must keep for long term and you can see the price shot to the moon. None of its competition is new. SEA is the dominant player in its markets, of course it won't grow as fast as someone just starting out and burning billions! SEA has challenges, certainly, will require patience no doubt, but as a long term perspective, I don't see how not to be long on SEA. I will keep buying. Great long opportunity. My target price is $80 by end of Aug 2024.

Investment Reflection: Selling a LEAP AI Cash-Secured Put Option

May Volatility Expected to Subside, Institutions Position for Longer-Term Downside

Elon Musk's Travel Plans Leaked, Bulls Quietly Buy Huge Call Options Betting on $250!

TL;DR: A mysterious institution is bullish on Tesla, expecting the stock price to explore $210 in June and return above the year's high of $250 by August.On the afternoon of April 28th, a sudden news report revealed that Elon Musk had been invited to visit China. The main purpose is to discuss the deployment of Tesla's self-driving technology in the Chinese market. Although there is no specific timeline, judging from official Weibo statements and the Tesla app's purchase page descriptions, cooperation between the two parties seems highly likely.On Monday, Tesla finally reversed its sluggish performance this year, with its pre-market stock price surging 12%, showing strong signs of a trend reversal. Previously, Tesla's option big orders were predominantly bearish, with the main strategy bei

Quarterly earnings. While many are obsessed over the after-hour price moves after earnings are being reported, and trying to figure out why is the stock price up or down, and why so little or so much. Instead all that we are choose to focus is going through the financials, and reading the earnings call transcripts, and making sure that the investment thesis of the companies that we own are still intact, and tracking their progress. There is something truly zen about being business-focused investors than to be price-focused investors. This is because we know what is the ultimate North Star and driver of our long-term returns from owning the businesses that can keep growing revenues, profits and cash flows for a very long time.

$Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ - I sold META puts a couple days ago. Although I believe META can rebound in the future, the capital used to take on those put positions will likely be tied up for at least 3 months. As someone who tries to unite theory and practice, I didn't really feel like talking much tonight and wanted to remain quiet.Despite lacking energy, I still need to maintain daily observations. An interesting question arises - after an earnings release, will market makers start killing off option positions?Call options will undoubtedly get crushed. For META's put options this week, the 450, 470, 440, 400, 480 strikes have the highest open interest. Looking at the intraday movements, although market makers can't control everything, they sti

Little Chance of Breaking 170, but Tesla's Friday Action is Worth a Shot

In summary: Tesla's stock price is likely to settle around $160 this week, but there is a small probability of a gamma squeeze on call options, pushing the price up to $170.After its earnings report, $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ rebounded 11%, essentially just recouping last week's losses. Apart from "killing" the shorts, there seems to be no other substantial impact - it was just noise.The short-sellers were hit hard, with the effect being significant. The top 9 out-of-the-money put options expiring this week were essentially all buried, expiring worthless. Listed from low to high strike prices, the put options with open interest above 10,000 contracts had strikes at: 150, 140, 130, 135, 75, 120, 100, 145, 125, 160, 115, 155, 110, and 90.The distribution

Institutional Strategies for This Week: ITM Straddles with Limited Leverage and Risk Control

Impacted by last week's plunge, tech earnings this week, even with robust numbers, may not see significant rallies and could potentially decline further. As a result, large options orders for tech stocks appear to have turned quite conservative, with institutions starting to employ in-the-money option combinations to reduce costs and control risks. This reflects the market's skepticism about the sustainability of the current market rebound. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ I believe META will remain the strongest performer this earnings season due to its monopolistic advantages. However, expectations should not be set too high, as the previous sell-off has made $525 a minor resistance level, making a repeat of last quarter's 20% surge unrealistic. No

The seven giants are adjusting, but US stocks are starting to differentiate. Except for NVIDIA as a necessity, the other companies are facing expenditure, profit, and tests. The performance so far this year, except for Tesla plummeting, the rest have surged and then fallen back. In the unusual options activity on April 23, the shadows of the small-cap stock $iShares Russell 2000 ETF(IWM)$ and the emerging markets ETF $iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF(EEM)$ appeared. IWM's small-cap stock put option 8% out-of-the-money for next month is relatively neutral, implying that some investors are betting on the performance of small-cap stocks next month; the emerging markets are a 17% out-of-the-money call for Dece
