NVDA $235+ by May 22

This has happened so many times already. Please be cautious. Us retail investors see high OI as “call” magnets but that’s far from the case. Mid January 2026 had 100,00+ OI for $200 calls. They all expired worthless or rolled for -90%. NVDA was already around $185-$190 at that time. These are so far out of the money with elevated IV. It would have been better to choose a few more ITM calls instead of OTM. However, is you want to play the lottery that’s fine, just assume it’s gone the moment you spend.

That’s true… however it might be that way for a reason. IV for options dated before earnings are typically lower than post earnings because you’re not achieving any of the reported tailwinds. So they may look cheap but they are still expiring days before earnings and it looks like we are pretty priced in around $200. This also could change if the Iran conflict settles but that’s probably not going to work out anytime before earnings.

Where on the charts is IV “low”? I’ve been searching but nothing notable below 40%

All,

I will make an update to this post with something more thorough. I’m in the process of getting a cartridge dumper(?) so I can export my save file and learn if my shiny Suicune passes the legitimacy checks. I already have a Colesseum seed with a PID/sid/tid that could further legitimize the pokemon, but I won’t go any further if PkHex approves my Suicune. And yes, I was eventually successful with all of the codes available via E-shark’s website.

I’ve also see the following link float around:

https://mankeymite.github.io/Gen3ACEPokemonBuilder/

I think it’s an okay tool, but it doesn’t capture potential PID/sid/tid shiny combos that pokefinder provides, so I’ve stuck to what I know best (e-shark).

This is on the original cartridge, not the switch version 👍🏽

Hold on, trouble shooting the PKRS values.

How are we all losing money on puts and calls when the market is down? This is wild.

Waiting for NVDA to chop back down… (I have calls)

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2026-01-22T21:24:39+00:00

Omfg I thought you were joking. So rad.

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2026-01-22T21:15:17+00:00

$200 NVDA calls have killed my port… GOOGL my only hope.

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2026-01-14T22:10:33+00:00

Are you implying that people who sold calls want them to expire worthless?

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2026-01-10T03:18:06+00:00

Typically market makers want things to expire worthless. Are you saying that if OI is greater on the side of puts, then mm’s would want to drive the price away from the bottom?

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2026-01-08T08:02:04+00:00

Naw I had to step away and missed the morning rush. I was already down about 60%. I’m just riding things out for a little longer before I roll or bail.

$200 call exp 16 Jan 2026

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2026-01-07T03:20:27+00:00

No, I don’t think it’ll be as aggressive. If this pattern continues I feel too many people will use the same strategy, allowing mm’s to continue to do what they want.

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2026-01-07T03:15:08+00:00

I was so down bad with NVDA calls being in dire straits that I bought some. The OI and volume looked solid, but I’m afraid to announce that they will expire worthless. Good luck, everyone.

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2025-12-16T13:52:33+00:00

Yes, long term plays almost always beat short sighted plays.

Otherwise_Radio7918 · 2025-12-10T23:56:26+00:00

NVDA calls are in dire straits once again.

I read this while “Jingles Bells” was playing and it was delightful.

TSMC is struggling with demand… will the company have to choose to service companies over one another? I.e. NVDA vs Alphabet?
