In Tuesday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we take a look at tech titan Apple as iPhone factory workers continue to protest in China.
The low-volume holiday hangover refused to leave as markets sold off yet again Tuesday.
Protests across China over strict COVID-19 lockdown measures continued to weigh on tech stocks.
The situation has been brutal for top computer and gadget-maker Apple, as one of the key iPhone production facilities in Zhengzhou is at the center of the unrest.
But while recent reports suggest restrictions could relax as soon as Wednesday, analysts on Wall Street fear the damage is already done.
In addition to supply issues, the iconic tech company is also in the crosshairs of Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, the world’s richest man…
On Monday, Musk claimed in a series of now-deleted tweets that Apple has pulled most of its advertising and threatened to remove the social media platform from its App Store — ending with a meme suggesting he would rather “go to war” than pay Apple’s fees, which amount to 30% for companies making over $1 million a year.
The messy headlines helped drag down AAPL shares as much as 2.5% from its previous closing price, sending bloodthirsty, bearish traders roaring into the options chain…
My scanners picked up massive put buying the first 30 minutes of Tuesday’s session as a trader scooped up more than 2,000 contracts of the Dec. 9 expiration, $140 strike puts for more than $375,000 in premium!
And there’s loads more outsized short-term options flow waiting below…
- Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA): Dec. 2, $177.50 PUT.
- Tilray Brands Inc. (Nasdaq: TLRY): Dec. 2, $4 CALL.
- Canopy Growth Corp. (Nasdaq: CGC): Dec. 2, $4 CALL.
- Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL): Dec. 9, $140 PUT.
