time for USO calls?
Yeah, this catches a lot of people off guard the first time. Most traders think "if I'm right on direction, I make money." With LEAPS it's not always that simple. USO moved your way, but your option wasn't just pricing the move in USO. It was also pricing future uncertainty. If IV was elevated when you entered and then came down, that drop in IV can offset a surprising amount of the gain. It's one of those lessons most options traders learn the hard way at least once. After that, you start paying a lot more attention to IV before entering a trade.
In my opinion. Your put isn't just tracking USO's price — it's also pricing in time and implied volatility. You got the directional move right (delta), but IV likely dropped hard after the big move (an "IV crush"), and that vega loss outweighed the gain from USO falling another $2. If that 6/16/28 is a 2028 expiration, it's a LEAP — very low theta but very high vega, so it's extremely sensitive to IV changes. Pull up the IV from yesterday vs today; I'd bet it fell, which explains the drop. Option price ≠ share price; it's delta + theta + vega all at once.
I’ve watched oil options a lot since the start of the Iran war, and volatility has crushed a lot recently, there is even an index for oil IV which is based on USO options, see ticker OVX
Isn't short interest on USO over 100%
Better than me. I'm flatter than a pancake, but at least I could buy the dip on USO.
USO lmao every tweet you get evicerated
MSFT down more than USO or BNO
They been droning ship every 72 hours bro no one GAF, cut ur USO bags https://iranwire.com/en/news/153780-explosions-heard-near-the-strait-of-hormuz/
For real. I bought $100 USO puts three months ago that expire… tomorrow. I’m so annoyed. They’re worthless.
crazy to me that oil is going to pre-war levels and USO will still be over 100... this etf is broken...
there will be a massive dump on USO at somepoint... it's still trading at a premium over WTI prices
The oil shorts are currently in a Mexican stand off to see who is going to close their positions first. Gotta unwind that 150% short interest on USO eventually.
Closed my short position on USO $111 puts expiring today. FOMC meeting has me scared and I'm going to bed soon. Don't wanna wake up to a bag of free-falling stonks
Buy the dip, USO has like 140% short interest
USO at 150% short interest as we hit tank bottoms. Totally not a recipe for disaster.
“We run out of oil in 4 weeks” USO rugs.
Short interest on USO is over 100% as well, you can smell the desperation to keep it down
Did USO fucking break? Look at how insane the chart is in the last hour
Look at the candles on USO. 700k volume up, and like a fourth of that to slap it back down to where it was. Bizarre.
Is it retarded to buy USO calls expiring next week?
Just made a quick 25% in USO calls, thanks for the tip! It was a stark reminder of how illiquid that trash is though and the spread is criminal. It’ll probably keep running but I’ll be staying away from oil. Thanks again and best of luck making your cash back 🍻
Ayo USO mooning. Warsh talking. Potential dildo up or down today
no it isn't, it's just the dogshit USO etf...
I had a 3 week streak there where I bought drones before the pop, then quantum, then SMR and then shorted BTC. I’d be cooked right now if I didn’t buy a shitload of USO puts predicting an oil drop before FOMC off CPI data. Just insane luck when only like 25% of my plays/hunches have worked in the past So hard not to go back to the table on a streak
the REAL selling volume on USO has yet to begin 😈
USO calls META puts SPCX calls
I get what you're saying. First, SPY is very tech heavy, so it's not really "the market" - it's a segment of the market that includes a lot of the corporations that are ripping the world apart for profit. Second, if you wanted to trade the war, which I did, you were trading USO, GDX, GLD, etc, not SPY. Finally, it will all come crashing down when demand for AI dwindles. An example is the anecdotal reports of people getting rehired, companies limiting their AI use due to token cost etc - when those stop being anecdotal, but instead are legion, that will be a signal. An event that will also impact will be the 2026 midterm. If Democrats take control, the major AI players' stocks will crater in anticipation of investigations, regulations and oversight. I day trade micro-swings in SPY pretty much every day, so I kind of live it and I've made money on Puts, but never more than 14 days out, because I've lost a crap ton of money betting against the irrational optimism surrounding big tech. Anyway, waiting for a bubble to pop is a waste of time. While everyone else is waiting for the big score that could happen in a month or three years, you could be making 25% every day just casually trading near expry SPY calls and puts depending on the trend. I will pick up a couple far OTM December Puts in October, because I figure the election is going to be a shit show regardless and they could easily print huge.
I need sum miracle lotto play here in order to stay solvent. Any suggestions? USO 80 EOD?
I bought into USO so I’m all for this. Come on Israel do your thing
USO has some serious catching up to do with WTI 😡
My concern: They haven’t signed the MOU yet. The Market is closed on Friday The deal looks/is fucking terrible for the US Israel does what it wants - full retard 24/7 USO still being this high makes me think the market knows something’s afoot The play seems too obvious Did dawny just want a deal on his Bday? If this backfires, you’re going to get wrecked. Last time I felt this way, I lost $10k. Good luck sir🫡
Don’t tell the government but I have 3 cartons of canola oil hidden in my pantry Waiting for USO to hit 300 before selling
USO under 110 tomorrow with all this news.
Hey so do we get an apocalyptic short squeeze on USO if this "deal" is bullshit? I dont think they can hold this much longer and is why the USA is scrambling for a deal even if its horrendous
i got in USO 130 calls june 24th today. am i fuk
In fact I saw several sophisticated WSB \*investors full port USO Puts today
Its hard to say. They can manipulate stocks much easier and for longer than commodity futures. The USO and oil futes situation right now is the same , they pummel USO much harder than the futes because no one has to take delivery of stocks and there isnt a real physical need for it. Its possible they can supress the stocks associated with it to a much greater degree than they can the actual futures contracts which guarantee a physical delivery at a certain price.
Correct and EWY is a hedge. My dumbass sold EWY and a bunch of other "high risk" plays back in late Feb/early March to buy energy equities and USO. Trying to rebalance somewhat now
can’t believe USO still isn’t even close to 100 😡
Holding USO calls into tomorrow.
USO puts have printed these past two days my god

I bought USO Calls so I think that means the Peace is for real this time
Bro, u was saying this same shit at the USO generational top. Time to accept u dont know shit https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1thkl86/comment/omnlx0b/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Call on USO maybe a few weeks out. Somehow i think Israel acuppers this deal.
Lmao I bought some USO calls on Friday.
and after all that USO still at 120... what will bring this dogshit etf down??
I made a lifetimes worth on the way up. I told that sub the timeline to go long was months ago lol. Being long past the literal top of the cycle margins is legit insanity, even if the fucking world is ending. USO was pricing in a level that would see catastrophic demand-side destruction if WTI actually rose to those levels
Lmao the cope in r/oil is hillarious: 1) Friday news about deal: "LMAO Only US speaks about deal, IRAN would never" 2) Saturday news about deal: "LMAO they will never accept it on TACOs birthday. Also no announcement from Iran" 3) Sunday IRAN national TV announces deal: "LMAO Bibi will never let this, keep on bombing Lebanese please daddy" I am buying USO puts $100 SP on open, just cause these war friendly greedy undercover bears, need to learn a lesson.
Priced in as just another "peace deal". The USO price jump will be tiny and temporary.
lol, we just had a -5% QQQ day like 5 days ago Iran could have just as easily taken Israel’s bait and retaliated against their Beirut strike today and killed the deal. Anyways, I have some long dated USO poots and calls from the dip so I’m not complaining. I was expecting to get burned tomorrow though for a minute.. still might
Need USO to go under 98 bucks now please
Brought 5 USO puts and I’m hoping for the best tomorrow.
USO bros are the new silver bros
I got gas today and before I pulled away some dude ran out of the convenience store and handed me $20 and a thank you card. USO calls are so over
Israel already said they're not pulling out of Lebanon. This deal will be dead by Friday. Buying calls on USO at open. The thing you need to understand is this is a religious war between Israel and Iran much more than just geopolitics. USA was dumb enough to help wipe out Irans military for them and now Israel isn't giving up the chance to secure their nation from their biggest threat.
I’m happy cuz I know a lot of my calls will print. But I’m also sad cuz one of them is USO :(
USO is only down 4%?! Who da fuq is buying USO right now at $120? When is it going back to $80?
I have calls 😀 But they are for USO 😔
There is this guy who shows screenshots of buying about 1000 shares of USO. Any he ways says there ain’t no fucking deal. I think last time he didn’t USO was 113.
so my friend totally hates the POTUS and was convinced the deal would fail. I think he put like 80% of his entire savings into puts on spy and various tech names that end this Friday and calls on USO. what chance does he have of salvaging anything ?
Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will only open on Friday. Well we all know what that means. Calls on USO 😵
