【September 3rd US Stock Options Leaderboard】

$Google A (GOOGL)$​ Due to a US judge's ruling that Google does not need to sell Chrome, but only needs to limit certain exclusive agreements, tail risks have significantly eased, and the stock price has reached an all-time high. Although there has been a large amount of bullish trading in options, it is primarily net selling, indicating that funds are cashing out at high levels following the good news. Strategically, it is suitable to follow the trend while controlling risks, and one can create a November 230/260 Call spread, or sell a October 220/200 Bull Put Spread to collect premiums.

$Tesla (TSLA)$​ The leaderboard shows a large amount of Call transactions, but net selling, while net buying is observed on the Put side, indicating a tendency for funds to hedge at high levels. The stock price shows a clear oscillation pattern, making it suitable for collar protection (buy 320P sell 360C).

$Home Depot (HD)$​ Q2 slightly exceeded expectations but profits missed slightly, and the full-year guidance remains unchanged, with management still cautious. The leaderboard shows net selling of Calls, indicating neutral market sentiment. Strategically, one can sell a 390/370 Put Spread to collect premiums, or create a diagonal spread to bet on gradual upward movement. #OptionsFlow
