Trade idea

SPACEX volatility trade

The trade involves buying 50 puts for June 2027, which are trading at around $1.75. The strategy is based on the assumption that if SpaceX's stock price decreases, the puts will increase in value. The maximum return is 14.5% over a year, and the trade is considered a volatility play. The risk is managed by the limited cost of the puts and the potential for a high return if the stock moves lower.

Trade idea Call spread

The speaker suggests a bearish strategy involving a $5 call spread for 450 and a put spread for 50 cents. The strategy is based on the idea that if the product doesn't move, the put spread would be worthless but the call spread would be worthless as well. The speaker also mentions that the put spread is more beneficial to sell, but the call spread is bought. The thesis is that the strategy is based on the assumption that the product will move in a certain direction, and the spread will be profitable if the product moves in that direction.

Trade idea

SPX put credit spread

The speaker suggests that selling put credit spreads can be a viable strategy when the market is trending up, as the put spreads are cheaper and the market is less likely to crash upwards. However, the speaker also notes that the market can drop significantly in a short period, which could lead to losses. The thesis is based on the idea that the market's skew pricing reflects the risk of downside moves, making put spreads a more attractive option for bearish scenarios.

Q's Out of the Money Call Spread

The Q's ETF has a high implied volatility rank (72%), indicating potential for significant price movements. A bearish trader can profit from a call spread by buying a call at $80 and selling a call at $85, capitalizing on the ETF's volatility. The strategy is suitable for a slightly bearish outlook, with a target of 50% of the premium. The risk is limited to the cost of the long call, and the trade should be closed if the market moves significantly higher.
