[Image] May 12th, 2024 | Issue 233  Happy Mother's Days to all the beautiful mothers.   Hello , Greetings, YellowTunnel Community!  Last week, we dove into one of my favorite strategies in options trading, and today, I'm eager to share a story that highlights this strategy, especially during earnings season.  The strategy I'm referring to is one I've always had a fondness for during times of volatility: the large call skew. This occurs in options trading when there's a distinct preference for buying call options over put options, often signaling optimism or anticipated upward movement in the underlying asset. This approach enables one to embrace volatility during earnings season through the purchase of option debit strategies such as condors and butterflies. It's a bit like finding hidden treasure in the market, particularly around earnings announcements. So, with Disney's earnings report on the horizon, I couldn't resist the opportunity to put this strategy to work.  I decided to play it safe with Disney and took a position by betting that the stock would fall using something called a long put butterfly. It sounds complicated, I know, but it's all about setting things up just right to make a profit if the stock takes a dive.  And dive it did! When Disney missed its earnings targets, the stock took a bit of a tumble, dipping down to $105 in the opening hours of trading. That's when my carefully planned trade really paid off, allowing me to close out with a nice profit of over 100%.  So, what led me to make this move? Well, it all came down to spotting what we call a call skew. By looking at the numbers and seeing that there was a lot more interest in buying call options than puts, I knew I had a good opportunity on my hands. Take a look: [Inflation Buster On Steroids: Secure Your Financial Future Now Click Here]( In the image I've included above, you can see the data that helped me make my decision. It shows a lot of folks were interested in buying calls at the 105 and 130 strike prices, which tipped me off that something big might be coming.  This trade just goes to show that even in uncertain times, there are ways to make smart moves in the market. And as we continue to explore these strategies together, I hope you'll join me in uncovering more opportunities to grow our portfolios.  Until next time, happy trading, and remember, it's never too late to learn something new in the world of finance!"
