1. Meme stocks plummeted overnight! Among them,$GameStop (GME.US)$Overnight, it fell more than 30%. As of press time, the stock had risen more than 10% in the premarket, with 780,000 options trading volume, a slight increase of 61% from the bullish ratio. The number of calls due today with an exercise price of $30/40 was the highest, with 49,000 and 31,000, respectively, and 32,000 and 12,000 unclosed positions, respectively. Furthermore, premiums for multiple single put options due today have doubled and surged.

Matthew Tuttle, CEO of Tuttle Capital Management, said, “It is difficult for this kind of meme stock without fundamental support to maintain a high position without a continuous influx of investment.” Sophie Lund Yates, chief stock analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said, “Valuations are still being artificially inflated, but these large single-day fluctuations are a reminder of the dangers of investors participating in speculative transactions.”

$AMC Entertainment (AMC.US)$Overnight, it fell more than 15%. As of press time, the stock had risen more than 5% before the market, with 790,000 options trading volume, and the bullish ratio rose to 68%. The long and short sentiment on the options chain is intense. Among them, PUT and $5 call transactions due today with an exercise price of 4.5 US dollars are active. The volume is about 46,000, and the number of unclosed positions is 18,000 and 25,000, respectively. Notably, when the stock price was $5.09, some large players were betting a drop when the stock price was $5.09.

According to analysts' estimates, AMC Cinemas is not expected to be profitable until the holiday season. The current transaction price is 1,500 times its expected 12-month forward earnings. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, this value is the highest among US stocks with a market capitalization of over 1 billion US dollars.

2,$Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (FFIE.US)$The three-day increase surged by more than 2,600%, with overnight options trading volume of 800,000, surging nearly 13 times from the average daily volume, and falling to 65% from the bullish ratio. Both long and short trades are active on the options chain. Calls and $0.5 puts due today are popular. The trading volume was 158,000 and 137,000, respectively, and the unclosed volume was 22,000 and 34,000, respectively. Also, when it expires today, you can earn 6 times the premium on the option at a price of 2 US dollars.

Some industry insiders believe that Faraday's future surge in stock prices may be related to the US policy of imposing 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. “The US government's move is aimed at protecting the country's electric vehicle industry and improving competitiveness. However, this policy instead allowed investors to see the huge potential of Faraday's future. As a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer, Faraday will have relatively little competitive pressure in the US market in the future, which provides it with a rare opportunity to develop.”

Risk warning

An option is a contract that gives a holder the right, but no obligation, to buy or sell an asset at a fixed price on or at any time prior to that date. The price of an option is affected by a number of factors, including the underlying asset's current price, exercise price, expiration time, and implied volatility.

The implied volatility reflects the market's expectations for options to fluctuate over a period of time to come. It is data inverted by the options BS pricing model, and is generally viewed as an indicator of market sentiment. When investors anticipate greater volatility, they may be more willing to pay higher options to help hedge risks, leading to higher implied volatility.

Traders and investors use implied volatility to assess the appeal of option prices, identify potential mispricing, and manage risk exposure.
