You fearful bunch are adorable. NVDA has $99b in investments after years of investing. 1 quarter of NVDA revenue is $99b. So at max your circular theory is 25% of their revenue had investments been in 2026 only. Seems to me that even if their investment recipients spent 100% of their money on Nvda GPUS, there are still 3 more buyers for everything else. 1 vs 3. Yeah. Shut down NVDA. Crap business
I use AI to create Mitch porn. It's pretty intuitive. His body is flabby, yet riddled with weird red marks. NVDA 300 EOY.
Nothing or little to do with the economy. I think there's not enough compute to go around. Anyway puts on NVDA on Monday for sure, I'd be willing to get kicked in the nuts if its not blood red for semis and ai infra
I mean NVDA's fundamentals are just completely insane but it could drop further. I don't even understand why it's at the same level as before earnings, but what can you do...

Sir this is a 2011 SugarCRM thread and you are about to lose your house. "Why pay Salesforce $150/seat when I can spin up Postgres for free" was said by every CTO with a Blackberry. Postgres is free. Salesforce is $300B. Sugar is a Wikipedia stub. I have personally been paid for 12 years to clean up the smoking craters of companies who tried this. I am the ATM. You are the gambler. The weights aren't the product regard. The weights are Postgres. The product is the 40 person team you now need to keep your GPUs from sitting at 30% utilization while your "open model is only 6 months behind" is 6 months behind on the one thing your sales team needs today. You didn't buy a server, you adopted a science project with a burn rate. And the trade itself: long NVDA, short AI. Bro. Who buys the shovels if the gold is worthless. Your long leg is your short leg wearing a hat. Also you can't short Anthropic, it's private, so your "short AI" is shorting MSFT and GOOG who are also the ones buying all the GPUs. You've constructed a position where both legs get liquidated at the same time. Impressive. Truly. Same thing happened in CRM. Bottom got crushed to $0 (HubSpot free tier, Zoho, 6000 Indian dev shops). Top got fatter. Basic inference goes to zero, frontier keeps pricing power, and the hardware guys running under Salesforce captured exactly none of it. Positions or ban. Mine is 12 years of Salesforce admin invoices and it prints every single time someone in this thread gets promoted to VP of Engineering.
Dimmmm! I thought i lost money this week. 16k on just NVDA, sheesh. I'm just 1k down on TSLA.
Don't worry! NVDA is working on another round of financing for them. This is like when you plug the end of a power strip into itself and claim you have infinite electricity
Just start off selling SPX 0dtes for some experience on selling options. Like others have mentioned I don’t suggest you walk down the path you proposed with SNDK. IMO it would be beneficial to understand how to sell options on a ticker that you have confidence in its expected moves. I’ve been selling calls on NVDA and have only been assigned once. Currently selling a batch of NVDA 10/15 250s when NVDA ticked the $23x range recently. $5.4 a con and currently at 82% of premium kept and will likely ride into exp as NVDA isn’t in a range that I’m interested in selling at the moment. All that to say you really need to understand **when** to sell because you’re short gamma and when delta starts tipping out of your favor, managing the short position can quickly become uncomfortable
Ai slowdown? Rip NVDA stock. Scratch that, RIP all stocks
Nice work. That’s more than what I’m up holding AAPL since the tariff selloff so over a year. Were you buying at the money short dated calls? I’m still getting the hang of options. I got an at the money call on NVDA the day before earnings and the effect of gamma is crazy. I only had one contract but I was up over 50% in less than 24 hours. Happy birthday 🥳🎂🎁

Is NVDA making an unprecedented amount of equity investments or was I just not aware of how common that was?

One thing from Friday's close that is worth a look before Monday, and it is not a call on anything. **SPY closed at 765.04. Its max pain for that expiry was 765.** A gap of 0.01%. Before anyone gets mystical about that: max pain is not a magnet and nothing forces price toward it. It is an accounting fact — the strike at which the largest total dollar value of open options expires worthless. It is computed, not predicted, and it moves as open interest moves during the week. So what does a 0.01% gap actually tell you? Mostly that Friday's close landed where the largest concentration of option value sat. That happens more often on index products than chance alone would suggest, and the boring explanation is the likely one: a lot of that open interest belongs to dealers and systematic sellers who hedge continuously, and that hedging tends to dampen movement near the heaviest strikes. Mechanics, not intent. Nobody steered it there. What it does **not** tell you is anything about Monday. Open interest resets, new positioning comes in, and the level itself will move. If you find yourself building a trade off "it pinned at max pain", you have converted an observation about the past into a forecast, and the data did not do that for you. --- Rest of the board for Friday's session, ranked by how far each name moved from **its own** 30-day baseline rather than by absolute size — otherwise you just get NVDA and TSLA every single day: * **SWKS** — option premium $2.31M against a $224k baseline. 10.3x, and a z-score of **23.75**, the highest on the board. * **ALLY** — $269k against $17.9k. **15.1x**, z = 13.4. * **GAP** — call open interest 38,542 against a 12,339 baseline. 3.1x at z = 20.8. * **KR** — moved on two axes at once: put OI 4.2x its normal *and* put/call ratio 4.1x. Two independent measures on the same name is rarer than either alone. * **HRL** — the odd one. Put/call ratio 0.22 against a **6.55** baseline, z = **−12.9**. That is puts collapsing, not building, which almost never shows up in these scans because everyone screens for the other direction. Scanned 2,001 tickers; 1,118 cleared the threshold on a full end-of-week run. Each compared to itself, with the market-wide multiple for the day divided out so a broad risk-off session does not light up the whole board and look like signal.
Oracle is a 'boomer' company structurally critical to the technology, language models, that NVDA, is also structurally critically needed for compute. Oracle's growth parallels the growth of its data centers, not it's RDMS business.
I’d never put on NVDA
I was here this morning for a little, said buy NVDA puts
I could never take the responsibility for another trader. All I can say is trade one thing so you recognize the pattern. I trade QQQ and SPY. Never buy options in the first 5 minutes of market open. Heavy premiums. Learn about Max Pain and how the dealers work including gamma flips. Don’t get over leverage and don’t let bad trades keep running. Watch VIX NVDA TSLA etc when trading. Learn how those coordinate. Keep aware of Fed announcements and be prepared for the results. I buy quick when I see the move, and then set a limit order to sell for X cents more than I paid. Develop your own trading plan and stick to it. Make rules for yourself when you fuck up. After a bad trade, take a deep breath, walk away and refresh your head before making another trade. Don’t think about the profit left on the table. Profit is profit. I think that’s all I got and what works for me.

Funny thing about the bond tape right now: while everyone is arguing about how to save treasuries, somebody already put the biggest bond bet on the board - and it went the opposite way from the panic. Yesterday's single largest new options position in bonds was TLT **calls**. 106,885 contracts, roughly $900M notional, opened in the session right before a hot core CPI print. TLT calls pay if long bonds go up, i.e. yields come down. So that is real money betting on treasuries rallying, placed straight into the print that pushed hike odds higher. Either a contrarian duration view, or cheap convexity bolted onto a book that is already short duration. Both are real trades. For scale, the rest of what got opened the same session: * GLD puts - ~$2.97B * IWM puts - ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - ~$2.42B * META calls - ~$1.75B * SMH puts - ~$1.17B * TLT calls - ~$0.90B Gold, small caps, semis and high-yield credit all took puts in the same session that NVDA and META took calls. That is a book keeping its upside and paying up for protection. It is not a everybody-out panic, whatever the headlines say. One thing worth understanding about this data, because it is the part people miss: these are open-interest changes, not volume. Volume cannot tell you whether a trade opened a position or closed one. OI can - but it only settles after the close, so you are always looking one session back. It shows what got *put on*. It tells you nothing about who took the other side. I pull this off the tape every morning. It is consistently the most useful thing on the board and the least talked about.
everything up 2-3%, NVDA up a measly .8%
Worth adding what positioning looked like going *into* this print, because it did not line up with the hike narrative. Largest **new** options positions opened Thursday across the whole US market, by notional. These are open-interest changes - what was opened, not what merely traded: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B * TLT calls - 106,885 contracts, ~$0.90B Two observations: **TLT calls are the odd one out.** That is a long-bond position - it pays if yields fall. About $900M of it was opened the session before a core print that pushed hike odds higher. Either a contrarian duration view, or convexity bought against an existing short-duration book. **The equity side is hedged, not bearish.** Gold, small caps, semis and high-yield credit all took put flow in the same session that NVDA and META took call flow. That combination reads as tail protection on a book that is still long, rather than a move to risk-off. Data caveat: open interest only settles after the close, so this is one session behind by construction, and closing trades are excluded. It shows what was put on, not who was on the other side of it.
Everyone is pricing the hike. The single biggest new bond position on yesterday's tape went the other way. Largest **new** options positions opened Thursday, ranked by notional. This is open-interest change, not volume - what got *put on*, not what got traded: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B * TLT calls - 106,885 contracts, ~$0.90B TLT calls are a bet on long bonds going **up**, i.e. yields down. Roughly $900M of them opened in the session right before a hot core print. Either somebody is very wrong, or it is cheap convexity stapled to a book that is already short duration. Both of those are real trades. The rest of the board is a hedge cluster, not a tech-crash bet. Gold, small caps, semis and high yield all got puts in the same session while NVDA and META got calls. That is "keep the upside, buy the tail", not "sell everything". Caveats so nobody reads more into it than is there: OI settles after the close, so this is always one session behind. Closing trades are excluded. And it tells you nothing about who took the other side - a put buyer needs a put seller.
If you want to know how the biggest books are hedging this exact risk, you can just read the options tape. Open interest changes tell you what was *opened* - not merely what traded. From Thursday's close (last fully settled session), the largest **new** positions opened across the entire US market, by notional: * GLD puts - 74,750 contracts, ~$2.97B * IWM puts - 84,976 contracts, ~$2.44B * NVDA calls - 111,407 contracts, ~$2.42B * META calls - 25,776 contracts, ~$1.75B * **SMH puts - 23,204 contracts, ~$1.17B** * HYG puts - 91,760 contracts, ~$0.71B Three things that bear on your question: **1. SMH puts are the literal answer.** SMH is the semis ETF - the cleanest single-instrument expression of "AI/tech risk". About $1.2B of *fresh* downside protection went there in one session. Not QQQ, not SPY. If you want the same hedge shape as the size, that is the wrapper they used. **2. It is not a one-way bet.** The same tape opened ~$2.4B of NVDA calls. The big books are not net-short AI - they are holding the upside and paying for tail protection on the sector wrapper. That is a very different trade from "rotate out of tech", and it is usually the cheaper one. **3. The company it keeps matters.** IWM and HYG puts were opened alongside it. Small caps and high-yield credit are liquidity hedges, not semis views. So at least part of that SMH put flow is a macro hedge wearing a tech costume - worth knowing before you copy it as a pure AI-risk trade. Caveat so you can weigh it properly: OI settles only after the close, so this is always one session behind, and it shows what was *put on* rather than direction. Closing trades are excluded - these are new positions only. It tells you nothing about who is on the other side. No position in any of the above.
Why is NVDA on the downward move?
These F’s ain’t gunna D themselves. Let’s go NVDA
NVDA coiling a little bit...let's see if it pushes past $222
Oh thank god was able to get outta NVDA for a minor loss. Going to puts this shit wants to crash so badly today
Why is NVDA being such a dog?
NVDA can’t break 220, it’s fucking over damn. This is going to crash to zero today
NVDA please don’t do this today. One Shrek so I can get out
Because it is beneficial for OpenAI to call a human not AGI. They don’t have a clue how to approach getting to AGI based on the preconceived notion of it being human intelligence. For NVDA statement to be true; OpenAI would need to be hiding their tech, the technological breakthrough would need to be proven. Neither of these are likely when you consider the current version of AI we have right now.
damn, I lucked out - my NVDA swing call is looking like a beauty this morning
NVDA rocket upcoming.......
NVDA is solid company with unprecedented demand. However, competition is increasing. Also, it is making investments in OpenAi and other companies that are turning around and buying Nvidia's chips.
Yeah the Implied volatility of NVDA and DELL is not 300% during earnings boss. It's much lower. Here, the $170 OTM premiums were at $6 and the expiry is today ! Stock was at $152 yesterday.
Thats not true, and biggest point of gambling pre market is to catch price swing, like NVDA or DELL. Its risky but if earnings go in your favor you win big, what you saying is completely different play from what OP did.
NVDA🚀🚀🚀Go in before it is to late https://www.kucoin.com/news/flash/goldman-sachs-maintains-buy-rating-on-nvidia-with-300-target-price?hl=de-DE
NVDA fwd P/E is twice ADBE. They're also now a $5T company so unsurprisingly their market cap moves a little bit slower. Idk why I'm rustling jimmies. I just see them as a well established profitable company. But I guess they're "Dead in the water because AI"?
If it was so easy NVDA must be @ 300$ with the Guidence
| Ticker | Target | Entry | Current | Move | Expires | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | **NVDA** ▲ | $237.55 (above) | $224.10 | $218.40 | +6.0% | Expired | | **Record** | 1W - 0L | 100% | - | - | - |
I pray for u, that NVDA hold 220$
Honestly 9/11 is typically very bullish. Wouldn’t be surprised if NVDA crawl back to $225 tomorrow but what do I know
Looks like gambling. I better sell the options and collect the premium. 🙂 We will see. $NVDA gives me nice premium every week. I am very patient. 🤗
NVDA is going to do well until customers are unable to borrow more to pay. 100% too-big-to-fail territory and it's going to get ugly.
Imagine losing money on NVDA
hear me out, NVDA puts because it's the same thing but cheaper
I didn't know this. Well scratch that then. NVDA puts because probably cheaper than qqq
Personally I think the demand question is less about whether AI spend continues and more about how cleanly NVDA converts that spend through supply and competition. On one side the latest print still shows the buildout broadening and management is still guiding hard growth. On the other side memory constraints, export limits, and custom silicon are real pressure points on how long the easy part of the story lasts. FV looks around $387 versus price near $219. Wall Street consensus looks like Buy, with a lot of implied upside in those targets. Sentiment reads bullish. https://investor.nvidia.com/news/press-release-details/2026/NVIDIA-Announces-Financial-Results-for-Second-Quarter-Fiscal-2027/ https://www.gngresearch.com/stock/NVDA/ https://www.cnbc.com/2026/08/26/nvidia-70percent-growth-forecast-puts-it-on-track-to-be-tech-no-2-company.html https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/nvidias-huang-says-cybersecurity-will-be-next-major-ai-use-case-4896602
Its ridiculously overpriced, especially when you compare it to NVDA. I think some cultists are holding it just like TSLA and PLTR.
Because compute makes NVDA go up and they keeping the party going
Just buy the AI supply chain. MU TSM ASML KLAC LRCX NVDA GLW CEG etc.
guys I'm buying NVDA I think inflation is low wdyt
i dont think you understand NVDA fully. because of CUDA they have the ability to sell their NVDA AI enterprise its possible APPL catches up but not because NVDA “doesnt have a service”
My 5 year back test says that strategy gets you 202.57% return on risk. Buying NVDA on September 13th, 2021 at $22.15 gets you 885.82% at today's closing price. This doesn't account for the effect of taxes or dividends. There are more non-trading hours than trading hours is all this says.
If you have invested in NVDA since 2016 what are you doing here?
ChatGPT warned me about this many times which is why I didn't call it. I wish i called NVDA though.
Maybe not $235, but if ORCL can maintain the momentum by open tomorrow, we certainly see a +2% open for NVDA.
How much did you make in the last YOLO on NVDA?
Everyone who likes NVDA is my friend
Are we finally getting some life in NVDA?
Sandisk CEO - Memory shortage will last for atleast 10 years Delta CEO - Everyone will fly delta forever into infinity NVDA CEO - There is unlimited demand for GPU’s Tesla CEO - everyone will have a cyber cab robotaxi McDonald CEO - everyone will eat McDonalds for 3 meals a day
the only AI company making $ is NVDA though
**I’M GOING ALL IN ON PRINTER INK** You idiots are buying NVDA and SPY while the government is literally printing money like there’s no tomorrow. And what does a printer need? **INK.** Every trillion dollars they print = more ink. Deficit? **INK.** Stimulus? **INK.** $5,000 checks if Republicans win? **MOTHERFUCKING INK.** So I sold my portfolio and went balls deep into printer ink stocks and calls. My wife asked why. I told her, “The money printer is going brrrr.” She said, “That doesn't make any sense.” **She doesn't understand macro.** Everyone laughed at the gourd guy. They won't be laughing when I'm sitting on a mountain of HP cartridges worth $4.7 billion. **$INK 🚀🚀🚀** Not financial advice. I am an idiot.
ORCL survived. NVDA back to $235 tomorrow?
wish me luck ya'll. I'm swinging a 220 call for NVDA.
Well I almost never touch anything other than something that follows S&P or QQQ but bought a NVDA call earlier because spy was boring and I figured some individual stock may actually do something exciting. It didn’t and I just bailed on it fo the tiniest profit. What a boring market day
