Volatility has returned as the Magnificent 7’s valuation is finally repricing. I want to embrace the volatility and produce income based upon the higher premiums investors are now paying for downside protection. I want to use options on the crown jewel of the Mag 7, Nvidia (NVDA) . Nvidia, the leader in the AI chip space, has been the backbone of the Mag 7’s performance over the past couple of years, with its stock surging nearly 1,800% over five years due to the AI boom. The “repricing” of the Mag 7 reflects the market reassessing their valuations which in turn is creating opportunity on the high beta stock Nvidia. NVDA had its worst post earnings reaction since August 22, dropping roughly 9% intraday which erased nearly $350 billion in market cap on the day. For perspective, Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is a $350 billion market cap company. NVDA 5D mountain Nvidia this week With NVDA nearly 20% off its all-time highs, I want to use options to express a bullish view after what looks like a post earnings shake out. The trade Selling a put spread in the high-flying name will produce an income stream and also potentially establish a long position in Nvidia. However, I want to define my risk in this trade in the event further liquidation of the GPU chip making King turns lower. Trade (Selling a put spread): Sold the 3/21/2025 $118 put for $6.50 Bought the 3/21/2025 $110 put for $3.50 This spread was established when NVDA was roughly trading $118 DISCLOSURES: (Jeff owns the spread.)
