JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 President Trump says "there is no 300 billion dollar payment to Iran by the US."

"That's fake news."

You could buy 100 shares of $META right now for ~$56,700.

Or you could sell a $525 cash-secured put expiring July 17 and get paid ~$800 to wait.

Here's how this plays out:

1. Stock stays above $525 by expiration - you keep the $800 premium. That's a ~1.5% return on capital in 36 days (~15% annualized).

2. Stock drops but you still like it - roll the put down and out to collect more premium and lower your entry.

3. You get assigned - your real cost basis is $517 per share. That's an ~8.8% discount from where the stock trades today.

Why I like the setup:

- Q1 revenue $56.3B, up 33% YoY with a 41% operating margin
- Forward P/E around 17x on 33% growth - PEG well under 1
- AI integration into the ad engine is driving both impression growth and pricing power
- Smart glasses hardware expansion targeting 10M units in H2 2026
- $525 strike gives you ~7.4% cushion from the current price

If the stock drops well below your strike, you're buying shares at a loss relative to market price. Only sell puts on stocks you genuinely want to own.

Selling continues:

"The floor is currently skewed -370 bps for sale.

LOs are skewed 15% better for sale on decent notional.

HFs are skewed slightly better to buy with demand in macro products, versus supply in info tech, energy, industrials, comms svcs"

More evidence of a robust US labor market today:
Initial jobless claims came in at 200,000, better than the 205,000 consensus forecast.
With the 4-week average at a low 203,250 and continuing claims falling, the labor market shows no signs of cooling.
Tomorrow’s more comprehensive monthly jobs report is, as usual, a must-watch.

Trump: I don't know if we need to break ceasefire with Iran, we may do

@MichaelAArouet Mr. Arouet, news please, not only old news. Thank you!

What people miss in the discussion about the second China shock in Europe is the depth. It’s twice as bad as the first one.

Germans still don’t understand what is coming their way and keep dreaming left-green fairytales.

Germany needs reforms, not the „tax the rich“ nonsense.

$LMT is having a bad time as multimillion dollar weapon systems are falling behind in drone warfare.

Price action has fallen into negative gamma and delta exposure is decreasing while puts are pricing up.
