Since January 9 is a special "closed day" this year, there are some arbitrage opportunities.On January 8, there were some arbitrage opportunities in the $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ expiration dates of January 8 and January 9 for two at-the-money (ATM) options (mainly focused on the 515 strike).Because of the January 9 vacation, the options expiring on January 9 will settle at the January 8 closing price, and the theoretical value of the two options as calculated by the BSM model should be the same.However, a spread occurs.Therefore, if one buys 1.8 of the 515's PUT and sells 1.9 of the 515's PUT at the same time, one can easily eat the Premium.As an analogy, at the close of trading on January 6, QQQ's 515's PUT for January 8 expiration averaged $0.61, while
$ACN VERTICAL 250214 PUT 340.0/PUT 335.0$ In the daily chart, the price looks to have reach its bottom at $345 and moving up. So, I have decided to open this bull put spread, with short call at $340, a $5 safety margin from the support level of $345.
Medical Value Stocks MRNA and PFE will Shine in 5 Years
Although high-valuation stocks in the current U.S. stock market continue to rise, and value stocks have lagged far behind growth stocks in recent years, stock valuations are still crucial for investors. Specifically in the medical sector, although the performance of U.S. medical stocks in the past two years has not been outstanding, the valuation is also lower than the $.SPX(.SPX)$ index.

$PLTR 20250117 69.0 PUT$ Selling a Short-Dated PLTR $69 Put – A Quick Premium Play! 💰 I sold a PLTR put with a $69 strike price that expires in the next 10 days, collecting a $1.56 premium. This short-term trade allows me to take advantage of time decay while betting that PLTR stays above $69. My View on PLTR’s Support 📉 I believe $69 is a strong support level, so if PLTR holds or rises, my put option will expire worthless, and I’ll keep the full premium. If PLTR moves up quickly, I could buy back the put at a lower price to lock in an early profit. If PLTR drops below $69, I might get assigned, but with the premium factored in, my effective cost basis will be $67.44 ($69 - $1.56), which I find reasonable for a potential r
