Understanding put options is crucial for traders, especially in the current market environment because we’re seeing a lot of them hit my News Flow Scanner…
Put options are a way for us to protect our long stock positions from potential declines.
Institutional investors often use put options as a form of downside protection for their large stock holdings.

High-flying stocks like Nvidia and Tesla have more expensive put options due to their high volatility and potential for significant price swings.

P.S. How to Target 100% Gains — Overnight
A lot of people don’t know this…
But there’s a way to target overnight returns around 100% or more without looking at stock charts, candlestick patterns or technical setups.
Now I know that sounds a bit crazy…

But here’s the thing…
I’ve taught hundreds of traders of all skill levels how to target these gains, too…
All without using chart patterns, technicals, or any other commonly taught tactics. Are you ready to be my next student?
