In Thursday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at chipmaker Nvidia as the sector is besieged by new regulations.
September is finally here, and it lived up to its bearish reputation Thursday…
Even worse, the continuing sour mood makes for one awful looking options tape.
With markets this ugly, traders should be super selective with any moves they make…
Because if I’m being honest, there’s a lot of hot garbage rolling in on the wire — so much so that I’ve also scaled back what I’m trading.
Semiconductors are under fire once again as Uncle Sam unleashed a new licensing requirement on Nvidia, which could prohibit sales of certain microchips to China, Hong Kong and Russia — putting upward of $400 million worth of expected business in jeopardy.
Shares of the tech stock plummeted more than 10% on the news while bearish options traders sank their claws into puts.
My scanner spotted repeat downside NVDA bets hitting the tape Thursday, with one institutional trader grabbing around 500 contracts of the Sept. 16 expiration, $125 strike puts for over $145,000 in premium!
And if you’re still hungry for more bearish tech plays, then you’re in luck…
- Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (Nasdaq: AMD): Sept. 9, $79 PUT.
- Nvidia Corp. (Nasdaq: NVDA): Sept. 16, $125 PUT.
- Skyworks Solutions Inc. (Nasdaq: SWKS): Oct. 21, $95 PUT.
- Tesla Inc. (Nasdaq: TSLA): Sept. 2, $270 CALL.
- Roblox Corp. (NYSE: RBLX): Sept. 16, $38.50 PUT.
