OK, on to Blitz Daily…

In Monday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at electric vehicle company Rivian as it approaches its earnings release.

Markets are down Monday as Wall Street buckles up for another potential roller coaster ride from this week’s upcoming Federal Reserve interest rate announcement. 

Despite the gloomy mood to start the week, I think we’ll pick up steam as we head into midterms — I’ll be positioning myself to the bull side here and buying the dips. 

And judging by the order flow we’re seeing, I’m not the only one looking for stocks to take a dip… 

Shares of Rivian jumped as much as 4.3% Monday as the upstart EV-maker continues to pick up steam ahead of its Nov. 9 earnings date, and at least one big-money bear is ready to fade the move…

Around 1:30 p.m. EDT, my scanners picked up an institutional put buyer scooping up about 750 contracts of the Nov. 11 expiration, $35.50 strike puts for more than $180,000 in premium! 

And if that doesn’t get your inner bear roaring, check out this outsized order flow…
