Yo Pit Crazies,


Traders are starting to bet big on a Donald Trump win.  How do I know?  Well just look at Trump Media and Technology Group (Ticker: DJT).  This stock is starting to take a lot of oxygen like Nvidia Inc (Ticker: NVDA) used to do at the beginning of 2024.  The Invesco QQQ Trust (Ticker: QQQ) closed above $500.  Alphabet Inc (Ticker: GOOGL) up smartly post earnings.

Betting markets have Trump 60/40 favorite over Harris right now.  Let’s say a lot of the weight is pushing to one side.  We have a Special Situation for the ages.

 

Is 6000 SPX in the cards?

 

SPX option prices says so

The SPX Nov08 straddle is trading for $150.00.  Don’t forget we have an FOMC meet on the 7th and more Big Tech earnings.  This year, SPX has moved 150 on the FOMC alone.

What I will say is the straddle has not expanded back to $200.  That is putting lower SPX outside of what traders think will happen.  They sure do think $6000 SPX will happen.

 

See how we trade it here.



To Your Trading Success,

 

AG
