In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at beaten down electric vehicle name Rivian after a major sell-off.
The blood continues to flow on Wall Street Monday as the indexes see more selling to open this week’s trading.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq led the way down with a 4% drop and traders peppered the tape with sizable downside bets.
One notable name among Monday’s biggest losers was EV-maker Rivian after Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) announced it would sell 8 million shares of its stake in the company.
Shares plummeted more than 20% in response to the news, sending premiums through the roof.
During this past week’s WealthPress Live Roundtable, I mentioned Rivian weekly $30 puts anywhere from around 2 to $3… And those puts traded over $7.50* today!
Be sure and tune in at 11:30 a.m. EDT every Wednesday for a half hour as we talk markets… and dish out trade ideas like this!
Institutional traders came back for more on Monday, snapping up around 550 contracts of the May 13 expiration, $24 strike puts for about $143,000 in premium!
And if that doesn’t get you charged up, I have two more top trades waiting below…
-
- Rivian Automotive Inc. (Nasdaq: RIVN): May 13, $24 PUT.
- Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX): May 13, $30.50 CALL.
- Marathon Oil Corp. (NYSE: MRO): May 13, $24.50 PUT.

P.S. We’ve all been there before… You buy the dip in your favorite stock…
But then that dip turns into a correction, and then that correction turns into a crash.
Before you know it, two to three months of gains are wiped out in two or three days.
This is what we call blowing up an account… And we see new traders make this mistake all the time.
The key here is to protect yourself by using a built-in hedge…
The hedge allows you to take full advantage of the potential upside, but when the market crash finally does come… you’re more protected.
