Put buying day in history into a 22 or so vix. Obviously trump is surrounded by very high net worth , “ advisors” , and friends who can front run destabilizing, tweets, speeches, Q and As, etc. Biden has given team trump the free pass , aka, pardon option, to grift there way into 100 billion plus over the next four years, virtually risk free. Team Biden set a very dangerous precedent, this isn’t political, it’s fact. So, who is aggressively paying up for puts and did Trump tweets with respect to the Middle East trigger the buying? Stay tuned it’s going to be an interesting four years. Keep in mind over the years Musk has made it very clear what he thinks of SEC regs and disclosure while running tsla. Does crypto have serious regs? Team trump is on a free roll, let’s see how they play it but volatility figures to be impressive going forward. Good luck all. 🙏☮️

For those who might not follow trumps tweets, “” “Shalom Hamas” means Hello and Goodbye - You can choose. Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted! I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say. I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning! For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW, OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”

Puts, yesterday was the third highest put buying day in history...
Why should folks buying and selling puts bother me?
I don't do options. If folks want to speculate on what is essentially a zero-sum game, should that concern me it all?
Maybe it adds to market volatility? I have cash to invest. I'd like some volatility.

good morning, even if you, " don't do options" the space should, " bother you". If you have no interest in option activity in your positions, that's fine. Most hear do.

What I'm asking is: why should it bother me?
Some folks are making money, some folks are losing money. Does it affect me?

Ok, fair question, I type with one finger, mungo shares posts that would take me a week to write! SO, google, how does option activity impact the underlying stock.
Option activity can impact the underlying stock in several ways12345:
Delta Hedging and Market Makers: Market makers maintain liquidity in the options market, and their activity can affect stock prices.
Volume and Open Interest: The volume of options contracts and open interest can signal investor sentiment toward a stock.
Events Leading to Expiration Date: As options approach their expiration date, peculiar behaviors can emerge.
Psychological Impact: The demand for put options can decrease the demand for the underlying stock, creating selling pressure."
Read the material and you will get the answers.

Hey, it's better to have posts about options than posts about politics and politicians. Either politicians you love or politicians you hate.
Or reposting tweets by a politician.

I know its hopeless for many BUT, trump won, google it. Trump has a history of being, factually challenged. He may tweet or say market moving things at any time. MUSK has become the face of Doge and has decided to be very high profile by trumps side. THIS is FACT not political. Musk has a history of over promising and under delivering at tsla, PLUS, Musk doesn't have much respect for regs, the SEC, etc. THIS is NOT political it's FACT! If you think Buffett hasn't noticed, you live on denial Boulevard! Good luck.

I have cash to invest. Buffett has cash to invest. We want stock prices to go down*.
* Not forever, though. I do keep threatening to retire. I'll want them to go up then... ;-)
