*HUM! Holy old people Batman!*
I did miss out on HUM, atm spot was $2k when hum was 380 today. Now HUM 436. 1DTE for 2k is unheard of, even for a SNDK csp
HUM up 12.5%, 2k premium vanished
Just sold 1k shares of HUM short at 440
HUM is 386, the next to spot premium is 16.40, ive never seen a more ridiculous premium for 10/9, that's 1DTE
if u wanna sell put/call, look at HUM UNH, massive premiums this week bc of the CMS rating coming out tomorrow
HUM still has an insane premium if u guys are missing out
chatgpt said i need to GTFO of HUM before 10/8 bc of the medicare advantage pricing bullshit
guys, check out HUM, it's their big week this week, the premiums is insane. Sold 10/16 csp 350 for $609
If selling covered calls I like high volatility such as GME in mid-late 2024 and early 2025. If buying calls I like low volatility, descending wedges, and multi-year support like HUM in Feb-Mar and FOUR in Mar-Jun of this year.
i was in those puts between 405-415 a few days ago now. closed when spot HUM was under 390
nice, what was your entry on that? i been watching HUM but got nervous after the dip in monday
I bought MOH at 118, HUM at 200, and UNH at 250 Who needs semiconductors 😎
I could have bought HUM at the bottom but no. Holding the bag 7.
Did he say buy HUM? It’s up 100%.
I can’t buy anything without a tweet dumping the stock at precise timing and then they recover out of nowhere. Look at HUM and UNH. Look at CRWD PANW after the SAAS apocalypse was going to kill them. Lines are straight up.
The way things take off it’s scary to sit out. Look at CRWD and PANW. Ripped out of nowhere. Same with UNH and HUM.
Why’d UNH dump in AH? I guess I could also Why UNH and HUM ripped the last couple weeks?
I was in UNH and HUM and a tweet came out just before earnings and drilled them. Sounded like they were toast for the rest of the this administration so I took my loss and now they ripped to higher levels than they were.
Look at SYK. HUM and UNH recovered
I thought healthcare was screwed? OSCR HUM UNH are ripping
I’m seeing that. HUM UNH got a tweet that crashed them and now they are ripping and nothing changed. Home builders Stocks dying. Staples dying other than KO.
HUM just ran up like a Chip company
Plenty of stocks in other sectors have been good too. HUM, NUE etc
Look at HUM. It’s up from 160
What’s going on with HUM today…?

Made some good cash on HUM,UNH calls
CI and HUM too. Congrats. and thank you for the post.
4:55 PM EDT, April 06, 2026 (Benzinga Newswire) Health insurer stocks are surging after the market close on Monday, following the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized [payment policies for 2027](https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/11/49083625/cms-unveils-2027-rule-to-refocus-medicare-advantage-on-outcomes). * **CVS Health stock is showing exceptional strength.** [**What’s behind CVS gains?**](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS) # Health Insurer Stocks Rise After The Bell The CMS released the 2027 Medicare Advantage (MA) and Part D rate announcement after the close on Monday, projecting a net average increase of 2.48% next year. Shares of **CVS Health Corp** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS)[CVS](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CVS)), **UnitedHealth Group Inc** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH)[UNH](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UNH)), **Humana Inc** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUM)[HUM](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/HUM)) and **Elevance Health Inc** [(NYSE:](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELV)[ELV](https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ELV)) all moved significantly higher after the announcement. The anticipated increase includes consideration of the various elements that impact MA payments, including growth rates of underlying costs, 2026 Star Ratings for 2027 quality bonus payments, and risk adjustment updates. "Medicare Advantage and Part D should work for the people who rely on them," said CMS Administrator **Mehmet Oz**. "These updates keep coverage affordable and ensure patients get real value from their plans." Here’s a look at the after-hours price action of the aforementioned tickers at the time of publication on Monday: * **CVS:** up 9.48% at $80.22 * **UNH:** up 9.34% at $307.72 * **HUM:** up 11.58% at $203.80 * **ELV:** up 5.83% at $320.25 *Image:* [*Shutterstock.com*](http://Shutterstock.com)
its almost always revised higher, it was 2.6-2.7% higher last year. medicare rates for most other things like hospices have finalized at 2.4-2.5% so a jump from virtually 0% rate for medicare procedures to 2.5% lets say is quite a bit of difference in profit. HUM , is doing pretty well today, they do a lot of medicare covered stuff
you have 56 min to buy UNH or UNH calls. Or HUM, CI etc.
Final medicare advantage rates for CY 2027 should come out today after hours. UNH, CVS, HUM
Look at the 10yr chart for HUM NKE
HUM, NVO, and UNH bagholder right here. Except I’m green on UNH
HUM pump into close. News coming?
robinhood has nothing to do with HUM, how fucking stupid are you lmao?
Is it just me or was anyone in HUM. They fucking scammed us. Was up $200 then right when market open down 200. Robinhood really be fucking everyone
I’m buying HOOD and HUM.
HUM going to dump 20% in the morning?
Puts on UNH easy money. HUM gonna blow their earnings (in a bad way you degens). UNH will follow and fallback to test $260
So is UNH gonna sympathy dump with HUM falls 20% on their earnings?
Is there any reason CVS and HUM won’t get killed? Are Medicare cutbacks fully priced in?
i traded some AGQ, bought some HUM, bought some other stuff. i'm not totally out of the silver market though.... too much whiplashing ahead
HUM is about give up 10 years of gains
Here are the worst performing S&P 500 stocks from January 2026 1 Applovin $APP -30%🔴 2 Intuit $INTU -25%🔴 3 Humana $HUM -24%🔴 4 ServiceNow $NOW -24%🔴 5 Constellation Energy $CEG -21%🔴 6 Trade Desk $TTD -20%🔴 7 Salesforce $CRM -20%🔴
Corn 🌽 dump is for ants. HUM dumped 30% over night and the following day because of some bullshit tweet just before UNH earnings. This is getting ridiculous
the last idea of this year that works well is absolutely going to be buying $UNH or $HUM once medicare reimbursements get negotiated tolike 3-4%. if you are patient enough to wait 2 months, this is the easiest play ever
i think it would rise, but its a meme..... HUM honestly makes more sense from a pe perspecitve in the same industry so i'm on the fence
tbh id leave silver go unless you want to gamble on a bullish dead cat bounce. i could easily see it at 70 or 150 this year i have no clue. i just had a strong read on the market being in euphoria in the past week and needing a significant flush if you wanna gamble short on stuff SanDisk and Palantir look appealing (im not doing either tho) i bought boring ass shares of HUM at 195 today with half of the capital out of this play thats a long term/ forever position i know its blasphemous to say right now but stuff like IBIT or ETHE SBET the lot of digital assets are appealing too if you want to play long on a sector
Don’t worry about Silver it’s not as red as UNH and HUM were when mango pulled the rug on us YET 🫣
240 was for UNH. For HUM I sold targeting 160s.
Alright I’m fully long but its all 3x index ETFs and Chinese market ETFs minus like a single call on RDDT, UNH and HUM that are long dated Still worried we might go lower so dont want to go wild with leverage quite yet
I have never related to a thread more (cries in HUM and PYPL)
I bought HUM and UNH calls today, somehow both are green.
Legend has it HUM may never catch a bid *again*
Just here to remind myself my puts on CVNA are now at $70 per strike and would’ve been worth 160 thousand today instead I lost 25000 this week and HUM leaps:)!
Bought HUM at 195, this is better than UNH.
UNH is about to follow HUM and drill
About how long do you all project until recovery? I’m bleeding HUM stock but trying to hold 🫣
Unh recovering while HUM keeps drilling 🫣
Every other health stock is up HUM is hot garbage and dropped another 5% down 20% on my leaps just from today
Looking at UNH and HUM going in opposite directions. 🤔
HUM is still drilling
Why $HUM the only one I have leaps on still going down😿
So… puts on CNC and then HUM after earnings? Was Luigi a bear?
$HUM leap calls or slv leap puts?
Last year they proposed 2.36% and left off with 5.09 % I see a similar case in this situation $HUM Leaps
The health care sector is in decline. $HUM (not a penny stock) nearing a 52 week low. This sector is going to rebound at some point. Maybe after the possible shutdown, it may be a good idea to start looking at some PSs in the health care sector. Obviously IBRX could be a great opportunity when it finds its sweet spot. Looking at others to rebound in the next couple of weeks.
Tanked everyone that was associated with medicare payments. UNH, HUM, ELV, etc. but Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Oklahoma) sold his position in UNH, he influences how medical care companies are compensated. Insider knowledge shit if you ask me.
I posted non-partisan due diligence on UNH and HUM yesterday and it was removed from r/stocks ... what are they doing? Wait for earnings too come out and delete posts that confirmed the narrative? https://preview.redd.it/1w5uifklcxfg1.png?width=728&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0264ddd2362bdf178a93f28a8331c072b6b5363
HUM might be a better buy than UNH here.
Why the fug is HUM down more than UNH
Jeffries gave HUM a buy rating this morning.
Not just UNH. HUM, and the likes.

Trump Administration Proposes Flat Rates for Medicare Advantage, CMS and White House Say - WSJ - $UNH $HUM $CVS UNH down 7.5%
I've *swung* UNH here and there, however long term I'm on the sideline as of now. Let me preface by saying I can be totally wrong and I haven't dug deep into the stock or the future of healthcare plans and politics behind it. I wouldn't be shocked to see UNH perform well since its a healthcare conglomerate and practically a monopoly. The stock went through MASSIVE selling this year, analysts are pricing in lower growth, there's political risk, etc. Despite getting positive earnings, raising future guidance, having the publicity of Warren Buffett/BRK buying, and more, the stock has failed to move higher as of recent. Had a convincing resistance at the 200ma and quickly fell below the 50ma, etc. Healthcare/Pharma as of recent has been pretty HOT, more specifically drug manufacturers. However, the healthcare plan stocks (UNH, ELV, MOH, CI, HUM, etc) haven't seen that, most are still down big YTD. why? In my opinion investors and firms could know (or think they know) something and are pricing that in while retail doesn't know/isn't factoring it in. (probably political risk or something). This sector and stock seems like an easy buy moving forward, but it hasn't been that way and with that being the case I'm on the sidelines.
HUM can completely kill UNH if they do badly
Honestly, i think this is mostly due to the government shutdown. Republicans are pushing to reduce federal spending on healthcare subsidies, which would raise insurance costs for many lower and middle income families. That could lead to fewer people being able to afford coverage, potentially affecting revenue for UNH and other health insurers. Initially, during the shutdown, many assumed Democrats would block extreme cuts. But with the shutdown surpassing the previous longest one in U.S. history, the possibility that Republicans succeed in reducing subsidies seems more plausible. Which explains why UNH and other insurance stocks have dropped. This is not specific to UNH, if you look at all the other health care insurers (HUM, ELV, CI), they are all down 10–15% across the board. This all feeds into a broader pattern of government corruption and abuse of power, including pardons like Ghislaine Maxwell and Changpeng Zhao, as well as shenanigans like the upcoming Supreme Court hearing on tariffs, which Trump announced he will not attend. So messed up.
It’s not enrollment in MA, compare deductibles UHC 5700 was 5200 and HUM deductible at 6500. People that needed procedures overwhelmingly choose UHC. We pay that for Car insurance these days… so yea MA is dead
Yes, that's why I mentioned the price where it began its rise and where it recently ended up (now that the court decision has been digested it has moved up 5% and looks like it'll keep going). Still, the timing is awfully suspicious. When an adversarial court decision is released and hasn't previously been polluted by insider knowledge, then the stock usually nosedives on that news. HUM didn't. It maybe went down a bit, but the real plunge began a week earlier. Still awfully suspicious in my view.
I took a hit on HUM last year
Quite the rotation going on look at HUM
HUM has a lot of catching up to UNH. Don’t miss this train
HUM is making me CUM.
Buffet Buy HUM too or CEO at White House?
HUM cliff diving again
