VolatilityIt's 140%. But if you go in the near term, it's as high as 340% implied volatility. In other words, these options get a little spendy uh be because of what has happened and the the move and how big 122% right now it's

Strikes & expiration>> Yep, it certainly was unusual, even though it was so far out into the future. But, that might tell you, folks, that people expect Shopify to not just pop on this earnings report, but perhaps on another earnings report that'll hit prior to the September expiration.

Calls & putshigh right now. The only thing I'll say about airlines is that I was on a show called The Take sitting in once again for for Pete today with our lead UOA analyst and we were looking at some of the UOA that we were spotting in the airlines and you know, over last week, it was all about the puts, they were right and now it does

Calls & putslook like you know, I I don't want to get too specific, but uh there's there's one airline in particular. John, can I am I able to say something like this?

Calls & putsif you have recouped half of that, the stock is, you know, in the 90s, you know, high 90s and that would be a nice profit on those calls that they've been accumulating. And there are several of those out there, folks, where whether it's Justin's Trade Monster AI or our

Unusual activityUh, all right. Let's take a look at a unusual option activity. And the reason this one um, Marvell is so compelling here, Pete, is not only did we have unusual activity with what Pete and I created, folks, which we call the Heat Seeker, and it is our unusual option

Unusual activitydoes for Market Rebellion. And both systems kicked off yesterday and said, "You better be getting long some Marvell here." Well, it moved up today. And here's what the unusual activity looked like there. When we see that activity, folks, we uh put it up for our uh

Calls & putsbuffer because it's already been cut in half, essentially. So, um an interesting one. I don't think this is one of those that you want to just say, you know what?

GreeksAnd they've been talking about the demand is still there, too, John. So, it's you know, I think they're really in a position to be win-win.

It seems like on a consistent basis, whether that's Delta or whether that's United or American, or

Greeksthe way what's going on with fuel, but obviously a nice very calculated move I'd say by United the way they manipulated into this position today and um I think these airlines are going to be crushing it.

Strikes & expirationYeah, it's been absolutely incredible, John. As a matter of fact, after seeing that, I got a lot closer a lot closer in expiration and put a little something on in this one, lucky, uh but also, you know, controlled luck as well because we're seeing trades like that come into this thing. And it wasn't even just the trades, John. For me, it was also just looking at the earnings cycle and what

Unusual activityUm phenomenal and this one is a frequent flyer on our unusual activity list, as well, Pete. I mean, it's been on I don't know how many times, but uh certainly some of the recent purchases that people have been making, you know, look at these. When the stock was uh let's see,

AI Stocks EXPLODE Again… But One Chart Has Wall Street Nervous- 6:06
Unusual activity>> But it's not airborne. Um so, uh anyway, we'll keep an eye on it, but I thought you'd like this, Pete, because did we have unusual activity in it? You bet we did. I mean, Moderna made a nice move and uh it was predicted by this.
- 6:24
Calls & putsLook at that, the 7th of May, so last week. Here we are, the 11th. So, the 7th, Pete, would have been Thursday last week. Somebody comes in and buys 18,500 of the July 50 calls. Hmm.
- 7:19
Calls & puts>> At least with their own pocketbooks. You know, Moderna is a stock, John, that has a uh pretty substantial short, somewhere between 14 and 18%. So, uh when this thing starts to run, when you see those upside calls flying the way they are, like you were just talking about, there's a really good reason for that, John. I mean, when you've got those shorts and you start to twist them a
- 12:09
Calls & putsplaying out. This stock is absolutely in fuego. We know that. Um I wouldn't want to fight against it, but at some point, if we start to see some puts maybe start trading in there, John, then maybe there's going to be a little bit of pullback. But, until then, and and and most recently, we've seen more call buying in there by far than the than any

Strikes & expiration>> All of them over 102 miles an hour.

Unusual activityyou're in optical networking, Pete, photonics and so forth, if you are somebody like GLW or a number of the firms that we talk about very actively, especially for unusual activity, well, they're doing just fine. Did they
- 5:18
Calls & putscorrect in March? Yeah, they did. And was it scary? I guess so, but Pete and I mainly trade options, folks. Um, and if you're trading options and you're buying a $4 option and it goes to two, it ain't fun, and maybe you should cut your loss at that point, but it's not a lot easier
- 13:16
Unusual activityNot too terribly long ago, not a month ago even, we had unusual activity in this name. And that unusual activity played out very nicely because they were buying an in the money call when the stock stock was 278.
- 13:33
Strikes & expiration278 a share. They bought the in the money 250 calls. What are they worth at that point? Well, they're worth almost 30 bucks. Well, they were trading 4240.

Unusual activityAll right. Uh Pete, let's dive into stocks. Let's do it. Um and we'll start off with Pinterest. Um and by the way, we did have unusual activity in Pinterest.
- 6:14
Unusual activityAnd that's what um Chris Sacor and you and the folks that populate our unusual activity, which we've trademarked, by the way. Um Pinterest was $20.46.
- 6:28
Calls & putsAnd 8,000 of those May 23 calls traded for 64 cents. 8,000, folks, is 800,000 shares of stock. Well, that one worked out okay, Pete, when they just blew through earnings estimates and didn't do
- 7:22
Calls & puts631 million. So, um they really are hitting it from all different spots. And you know, the guidance uh was well above what was previously put out there. So, a lot of good things going on for Pinterest right now. And those options sure were a thing of beauty yesterday.

GameStop’s $55B eBay Takeover?! Markets Go Wild- 7:45
Calls & putsYou saw eBay, they were coming in buying the 106 calls, and that's with the stock at 104. And then, with the stock at 103, they came in for the 106 calls again, you know. Those are the two big trades, and both of them worked out pretty well as eBay to the upside today.
- 11:53
Strikes & expirationUm, that's going to be a big deal. Uh, basically, you're going to get 950 per cash, uh, which is a 65% premium over where GBTC was trading pre- Pete. That's a pretty big deal for a Monday, right?

AI Isn’t Dead… It’s EXPLODING (Google, Amazon, Caterpillar)- 8:23
Unusual activityJust, you know, pretty much nothing, right? And guess who had unusual activity? And I put it out yesterday, again, Pete, to all of our Trade Monster AI people and I said, "Okay, here's the deal." They bought 45,000 of those May 355
- 8:40
Calls & putscalls, right? That's 4.3 million shares of a $300 company.
- 8:53
Calls & putsWe're talking massive potential control of you know, 4.5 million shares because 45,000 options, multiply it by 100 shares, you get the idea. Okay. So, they were buying those and I said, "Let's do this." Because those are still
- 9:10
Calls & puts$7 options.
- 9:13
Unusual activityAgain, you know, when you look at the unusual activity there, they're not cheap options even though they were above where the market was trading.
- 14:22
Unusual activityDid we have unusual activity? Yes, we did. Stock closed at whatever 363 I thought or no, 263, I guess, yesterday, Pete. Um, and trades all the way up to 273 today after and higher than that in the
- 8:23
- 5:32
Calls & putspositioned some of these different, uh, major technology companies uh have put themselves. And we know a lot about Meta already. We know something about Microsoft, but I think Google and Amazon should be pretty interesting. And Amazon, by the way, I will say there is a little bit of interest in in terms of the options, but that's a little teaser
- 5:32
- 10:21
Calls & putsThat's pretty extraordinary. That's pretty high. Makes it it makes you kind of look at it, John, and say, "Do I need to buy some puts in here? Do I >> [laughter] >> Do I need to figure out, you know, is this you know, because it was down there at at a pretty tolerable level. Um, it's not right now and I think that's something that I'd be a little bit
- 16:03
Calls & putsopportunity. I would love, John, I would love to see somebody come in here with a decent size order and start buying some calls in this stock because that would be a great clue that, you know what?
- 16:40
Calls & putsSomething like that on numbers that if you really look at the numbers that they're putting up there year over year, that sounds to me like a stock that should be up 10%. So, this is a 20% swing and like I said, I'd love to see some unusual options come in here buying some calls. That would be the trigger.
- 19:58
Calls & putsSo, you know, it's not it's not something they said, "Hey, this is a sell." But, nonetheless, I mean, Rambus had a hell heck of a run, and now on this pullback, it's another one where it makes you wonder is there a reason to maybe start thinking about this one as something to look at if if any options come in there,
- 20:17
Strikes & expirationJohn. And I keep saying the options because we never know about stocks until long afterwards, but with the options, we do see when those come piling in and they start buying some out of the money calls or whatever it might be. I I'd be very very interested and probably be watching this one pretty closely. So, we'll see, and I think Baird's done a

Unusual activityWell, and we had some unusual activity.
- 7:02
Unusual activityI mean, just last uh week, Pete, we had on Friday the unusual activity at the uh May 15s. Now, they were buying an out of the money, so you know view that as you will. I thought it would it made more sense to buy the 11s,
- 7:34
Strikes & expiration>> Yeah. Because again, out of the money and they've only got uh four trading days left this week cuz Friday's expiration. So, keep your discipline if you're somebody who followed us into this one. Keep your discipline and always remember that uh Pete and I like trading at the money's much more than

Strikes & expirationthe out of the money's. Mhm. A little bit out of the money, okay, but a lot out of the money like the 15s when it's an $11 stock >> [laughter] >> as Larry David would say.
