NVDA ($149) iron condor (DEC) $3.96 Credit
NVDA is the last of the Mag 7 stocks to report earnings, coming on Nov. 20 after the close. The stock is at all-time highs and vol has continued to expand. If you think it might be a bit overdone here, or at least maybe time for some chop, try an iron condor in DEC. Short the 125/110 put spread and the 165/185 call spread trades at around $3.96 with a 62% probability of profit.
UVXY ($20) ZEBRA (NOV29) $3.26 Debit
Volatility has come down to near lows, with the VIX sitting below 15. We've gotten the election out of the way, monitored rate cuts, and analyzed most of the earnings reports. With Santa on the way, what could possibly go wrong? If you think maybe there is some mean reversion in volatility in the near term, a ZEBRA trade is a cheap synthetic stock position. In this case, go long 2x the 19s and short 1x the 21 in the 17 DTE to capitalize on a little bit of volatility into the end of the month.
