Episode description

SNAP's recent IPO has had the name in the news quite a bit these days, so let's take a look at SNAP backspread with calls, which is on page 84 of The Options Playbook, on OptionsPlaybook.com, or on the Amazon Kindle edition.

In this episode, Brian covers:

  • A review of last week's long call on PFE
  • Still figuring out the SNAP valuation
  • Where is implied volatility?
  • Why a backspread instead of a straddle?
  • Selecting the expiration date
  • What about earnings?
  • Selecting strikes
  • What is the expected movement?
  • What is the risk? Upside?
