I’ll be LIVE at 4 p.m. ET TODAY to size up my next Perfect Tesla Trade. The room is open — join us here!
If you’ve been following along in my Telegram channel recently, retail has been hot… And we saw a big fisherman wade into the retail waters with a big-money call buy in the king of e-commerce, Amazon.
With shares of AMZN up about 20% over the past three months, this trader sank about $591K into the January monthly expiration, $143 strike calls early in Tuesday’s trading, following a script we’ve seen a lot of to start the year…
BIG-money buys in more expensive options. You see, Amazon was trading a hair under $150 a share when this order hit, so it’s deep in the money…
I discussed this some during my morning scanner training session, how we’re seeing more expensive options hit.
This is likely because institutional money is moving back into the market to start the year, so these big-money traders are trying to squeeze every last bit they can out of these positions in the super-high-delta strikes.
Delta is how much the price of an option will move in regard to how much the underlying stock moves.
For example, let’s say a call option has a delta of $0.50.
This means that for every $1 the underlying stock moves higher, all things being equal, that option contract will move $0.50 higher.
This is an important but often overlooked aspect of options trading.
Now for the day’s top flow…
