Well that kind of sucked on DIS, hopefully they can turn it around.
To be clear, it was just a blip on an overall good day. Was speaking specifically in reference to the volume spike followed by drop (which wasn't major in the overall picture).Fightin_Aggie said:topher06 said:

It doesn't necessarily mean that, but it does somewhat act as a leash on price. Since the March recovery, I have observed a phenomenon that the highest net gamma strikes have been acting as a magnet.Bob Knights Liver said:aggiedaniel06 said:
That would make you very happy if you pick the fly body at those strikes.
If going by net gamma alone, AAPL should close anywhere between 500-510.
Would that alone cause some downward pressure on AAPL above 500? Not that it necessarily means it will go down, but is that a force working against the buyers?

I believe this can be attributed to the fact that the volume and nominal value of options traded in relation to the corresponding underlying has been insanely high with the advent of people working from home, the popularity options trading has gained and commission free trading from Robinhood.
A great example of this is TSLA. For the past few months, there has been a huge demand for OTM options (mainly calls) and dealers are more than happy to create those options but in doing so, they then buy/short the underlying to stay hedged. So when an insane amount of 2-to-3 Std dev OTM calls are bought by Robinhood traders, dealers buy the underlying and and it creates a feedback loop. (I understand this is not the only reason for TSLA's price increase, but gamma positioning has played a big role as well).
So if you like trading butterflies, I think it is key to know the net gamma positions of dealers.
boy Howdy! I grabbed a call before close following the big money (245C) and opened a call spread. I'm hoping it's still up big at open tomorrow. These would be great to play flipping commons too.khaos288 said:

Anyone else see a mini-correction in the next 2 weeks? Looking at a 2-3 day decline totaling 1000-2000 pts on the Dow. Would 9/11 puts on companies that have risen a lot lately be the preferred play?
Would love some feedback from you guys who are much better technicians.
I thought this week was going to be the week, for what it's worth. I agree with you.iluvpoker said:iluvpoker said:

Will this help get my question answered?
**We aren't making this to be a hottie's thread.**
I'll go so far as to say it will happen. The only question is when. I've blown a little cash buying puts when I thought it was imminent.McInnis 03 said:
I think if any of us "knew" a correction was coming we'd eagerly share here, but none of us can predict the future. We mostly play the trends and moves based on some tech analysis.
Can it happen? Sure. Will it? I don't know and I'm not sure anyone else does either.

Walmart and Microsoft might seem like an unlikely partnership to acquire TikTok's U.S. assets, but until very recently the retailer had other plans.
Before teaming up with Microsoft in recent days, Walmart was part of a consortium put together by SoftBank Chief Operating Officer Marcelo Claure, which also included Google parent company Alphabet, according to people familiar with the matter.
SoftBank's Claure felt Walmart's all-American image and Google's cloud computing infrastructure backbone could be a way in for the Japanese technology company, which has specialized in buying young, high-flying technology companies in recent years, including Uber and WeWork, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions were private. The deal structure would have had Walmart as the lead buyer, with SoftBank and Alphabet acquiring minority stakes. One or two other minority holders held talks to join the consortium, two of the people said.
Walmart wanted to be the exclusive e-commerce and payments provider for TikTok and have access to user data to enhance those capabilities, one of the people said. But the people said the U.S. government wanted the lead buyer of TikTok to be a technology company because that would better fit with its national-security rationale for forcing Chinese owner ByteDance to divest TikTok's U.S. operations.
Alphabet, which also owns YouTube and could face significant antitrust opposition if it acquired TikTok's U.S. assets, was primarily interested in TikTok as a new cloud computing customer, and felt it was not in a position to lead the deal, the people said. That caused the consortium to fall apart last week and led Walmart, which had become increasingly convinced that TikTok fits into its strategy, to partner with Microsoft on a bid instead
