【October 10th US Stock Options Leaderboard】
Macroeconomic Preview: Trump threatens to impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese imports starting in November, combined with China's expanded restrictions on rare earth exports, leading to a collective decline in the three major indices (S&P -2.7%, Nasdaq -3.6%), a surge in volatility, and a shift towards defensive liquidity.
Strategy Quick Notes (High IV Environment):
$Tesla (TSLA)$ Price plummets while IV rises, prioritize selling protective Put spreads, or replace naked Calls with December bull call spreads.
$Nvidia (NVDA)$ Main players prefer to sell Puts for absorption, can utilize 11-12 month Put credit spreads, hedge Delta with futures/stocks if it breaks below the intraday low.
$Apple (AAPL)$ Sentiment is bullish but tariff cost elasticity is high, aim to use bull call spreads instead of naked longs; fundamentals have previously indicated the impact of tariff costs.
$iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT)$ Bitcoin drops to $112k during the day, IBIT retracts but AUM remains close to $94B; if looking for a phase of volatility, it is advisable to sell straddle spreads (adding protection legs on both sides) or buy put options to hedge coin holdings.
