Put Buyers Go HOG Wild as Market Tanks

by | Sep 29, 2022 | Options

In Thursday’s Blitz Daily with Lance Ippolito, we’ll take a look at automakers like GM, which are getting wrecked — and the king of the hogs, Harley-Davidson!

It’s been another amazing day of trading while the markets are a total bloodbath… Particularly for automakers like General Motors, which was down nearly 7% at one point this morning… WOOF. 

And if you read Wednesday’s edition of the Blitz Daily, then you already knew this trade we highlighted could pay off big time…

  • General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM): Oct. 7, $35 PUT.

These babies went from about $1 a contract to as high as $2.47 about 40 minutes after Thursday’s open — BANG, thos put buyers were spot on!

Today, we’re seeing heavy action flowing into Harley-Davidson weekly $37 puts, which doubled in about 10 minutes earlier Thursday!

And that’s not the only automaker seeing heavy put buying…

  • Harley-Davidson (NYSE: HOG): Sept. 30, $37 PUT.
  • Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F): Oct. 21, $12 PUT.
  • VNET Group Inc. – ADR (Nasdaq: VNET): Oct. 21, $6 PUT.

Check out my short video and I’ll break down today’s unusual options order flow in 33 seconds flat…

A friend of mine sent me this chart about three months ago. I should probably print it and keep it in my wallet next to a photo of my daughter. Given the sheer number of questions I’ve fielded lately, I’ll probably end up showing this chart more than her picture.
