Option Pit Stop [fstp, logo, header] May 15, 2024 [ag views, logo, header] VIX could see the 11 handle before expiration  For the first time in a while, VIX 12.5 puts are doing a brisk business going into expiration next week. Nvidia Corp (Ticker: NVDA) won’t report until after VIX expires on the 22nd. While VIX is a 30 day number there is a whole week to go before the report which is arguably the biggest event this spring. [ded]( Traders are jumping into the VIX May22 12.5 puts looking for 100% gain or more to the mid 11s next week. That also pushes the clock a bit on the[Gamma Bomb](. We need low VIX to stick around for a while. - AG  [logo, pit profits] - Ticker Highlight Show - THS close DELL May17/Apr19 140 cc/ 115 p for a 25% gain Want to find YOUR winning fit?

The graph below illustrates this ongoing growth, showcasing how both nations are significantly increasing their investments in manufacturing infrastructure.  [ded]( Now, why does this expansion make sense? … Both the US and Japan have lost tremendous ground in global trade market share to China. To counter this, increasing investments in manufacturing capabilities within and between these two allied nations seems to be a strategic move. By enhancing their manufacturing sectors, the US and Japan are not just boosting their own economies but are also solidifying their strategic partnership. These trends do however, are fuel for building the foundation for higher prices as the trade war with China heats up.

Spent some time with big defense contractors like Palantir (Ticker: PLTR) and AeroVironment Inc. (Ticker: AVAV). In addition to drones, cyber security and artificial intelligence (AI) were the hot topics at the conference. From streamlining decision making to autonomous flight, AI is hot. And it’s not just military contractors. The private sector is diving deep into AI chips. For example, Advanced Micro Devices (Ticker: AMD) is betting on a rise in AI chips. But there are some headwinds. The market is trying to price proposed AI regulatory action by a variety of executive departments, including Defense, Transportation, and Treasury. Regulators are looking to add guardrails after generative AI, like ChatGPT, skyrocketed. Research by OpenAI estimates that roughly 80% percent of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work impacted by AI. Legislators are also concerned that the rise of generative AI tools that aid in deep fake technology could fuel the spread of political misinformation heading into the 2024 elections. That has us tracking some leaders and low fliers in the space.
