Last Call:Profitable Call Skew Strategies in Today's Market
Update: 2025-10-08
Description
SPX trades closed successfully, with call volume significantly outpacing puts across major tech names. Frank noted Intel's 321,000 calls versus 145,000 puts, with most calls being bought at or above the offer price.
The hosts implemented several strategic trades, including a buffer in SYM ($69 stock) that takes advantage of call skew while offering $1,100 profit potential versus $800 for a traditional put sale. They also closed a profitable MasterCard/Visa pairs trade and an FCX Jade Lizard at 31% profit.
To balance their predominantly bullish portfolio, they added a SPY "pool medic" calendar spread and UVXY zebra position as downside protection. The hosts noted their portfolio needed more bearish exposure to protect against potential market reversals.
