Bearish Puts – ABBV (AbbVie Inc.) drifted lower this past week. The anticipated earnings date is 10/30/24, and the gradual rise in implied volatility (IV) as earnings approach has kept our out-of-the-money November 1st put option in play. However, with only 11 days to expiration (DTE) and the stock not quite reaching the strike, it’s time to close the position.
Bullish Calls – Not much has changed with our Airbnb, Inc. (ABNB) position since we established it, apart from some initial strong momentum. With earnings scheduled for Thursday, October 30th, we are seeing a gradual increase in implied volatility (IV), which has impacted our Buy to Open 3 ABNB Nov 1st $133 Calls. Even though the stock remains stagnant, the rising IV continues to support our strategy. We plan to close the position before the earnings announcement, as we didn’t initiate the trade to take on the risk of the earnings event.
Bullish Calls – We are observing upside momentum building in Akamai Technologies (AKAM) following its recent breakout, and we currently hold a long call position, which is doing well. With 18 days to expiration (DTE) remaining and the upcoming earnings date on Thursday, November 7th, we anticipate an increase in implied volatility due to this known event, which should provide support and help justify our decision to stay the course for now.
Bullish Calls – Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) recently broke out above its trading range, and the upside momentum has continued. With the upcoming earnings announcement scheduled for before the market opens on October 31, 2024, we are observing a gradual increase in implied volatility due to this known event, which once again helps justify our decision to stay the course for now.
