mike, what do you see next here?> yeah, i mean, nike is in a difficult spot, i think, i mean, our valuation, we're getting to about 35 times earnings. now it has traded at higher valuations than that it did during the pandemic, but that was just a function of, you know, basically lower earnings at the time. we certainly saw some significant slowdowns. i think at this point, you know, one of the things that somebody could take a look at doing if you own the stock is you could look at selling a covered call and just a couple quick things, when you sell covered calls, keep them relatively short and sel calls unlikely to be assigned, i was looking out to the july 125s, collect $1.70 for that, well over 1% of the current stock price, a decent yield but it's only a 20 delta call, 80% chance applied by the options market, and expiring worthless and further to that one other point, the recent highs we saw were up around that level. i think it got up to about 128 or so, several months ago, so that's the other thing you're goi

mike's got a way to play it. mike >> first of all, point out that lennar is a name we own, it's trading probably about ten times full year estimated earnings, and i think everybody is aware that single family home construction has not kept pace with demand. that said, if there's ever going to be a time where this is a trade that could be under some pressure this coming week is it. so i think putting on a hedge here, going into earnings, makes some sense and actually, one of the things i notice is that you could put one on for relatively small amount right now the options market is implying a move of about 4.8 p4.8% o so, by the end of the week after they report. a simple way to hedge this, i was looking out to july, the 110-105 put spread is going to cost me about $1.15 to put that on, 1% of the current stock price. why am i choosing these strikes? if it's going to move within the implied move, less than 5% or so, i'm okay with that for our position what i'm more concerned about is that outside kind of event and

mike, what do you see next here? >> nike's in kind of a difficult spot, i think. our valuation, we're getting to 35 times earnings. it has traded at higher valuations than that it did during the pandemicing but that was just a function of basically lower earnings at the time, where you certainly saw significant slowdown i think at this point one of the things somebody could take a look at doing if you own the stock is you could look at selling a covered call when you sell covered calls you want to keep them short dated. you want to sell calls that are unlikely to be a sign. i was looking out to july 21 it's a decent yielding but only a 20 delta call. 80% chance by the options mark on this one. further to that one other point, the recent highs that we saw were up around that level. i think it got up to around 120 or so several months ago, so that's the other thing you're going to look for. when you're selling that call, there's less likelihood you're going to. >> charter, how do the charts look >> it's not a would you rather one is a chart with three drawings now,

thoughtfully laid out trade by mike. >> let's turn to micron.emistock up this year will the chip rip keep surging mike, how are you playing this name >> they're not catching the fire that the a.i. buzz has created as tim, who i know speaks about this name quite a lot, is probably going to be talking about here it's going to come down to pricing. it seems like we might be getting support there. this is a name that also can move around a substantial amount on earnings, this one implying a larger move, even, than walgreens is, probably 7, 8% here, i think, we can look t using an in the money call spread that's the trade i was looking at here, again, trying to offset some of that decay essentially using this as a proxy for stock. in this case i was looking out to july, the 62/72 call spread that was in the money, it was going to cost about $4 paying $5 for the 62 calls, selling th 72s against it this gives asymmetry to the upside, nominal decay. a few cents to make a bet. it's really disappointing news, a company that's been losing money the last qu

mike's got a way to play it. mike >> yeah.irst of all, i just want to point out lennar is a name that we own it's trading 10 times full year estimated earnings i think everybody is aware that ingle stamly home instruction has not kept up with pace of demands. that said, in there's ever a time where it could be under some pressure, this week is it one of the things i noticed is you can put on a hedge for a short amount they're implying a move of 4.8% or so by the end of the week i think a simple way to hedge this, i was looking out at july, the 110, 105 foot spread that was going to current stock. if it's going to move within the implied move, less than 5% or so, i'm okay with that what i'm more concerned about is the outside event. even if we get that, the likelihood much lower than the 105 strike is actually quite slim this can you pare a little bit of tlail risk. going into the next week. >> how does the chart look >> well, we're fighting back and that is the setup for a breakout or failure just a coin tows toss. my hunch is

so mike pins, he of fell from grace sweeney with old trump supporters. and donald trump still has round about a 3rd of republicans who will back him no matter what mike pins is internationally . the most recognizable name nikki haley is also in the race. she also was part of the trumpet administration as the un ambassador for the united states. but that's when it really starts to fizzle out. and in terms of polling its thoughts even earlier than that, because mike pins and the katie are both hovering round about 4 percent of the polling and support. when you ask republican voters at rome, desantis for the florida gulf, and that is just the round about 20 it. and donald trump has more than 50 percent support at this moment in time. so the polls are suggesting that we might well see if we run between joe biden. pretty much uncontested in the democrats. come on, donald trump, himself. that's if and it's a big is donald trump doesn't run into such serious legal trouble that either across his public support, you could even see him behind boss or a sentence in

this is "options action" live from the nasdaq market site on the desk tonight we have mike khouw, bonnisen, and tim seymour, and first-half hotties, nvidia up nearly 200%. meta jumping 40%, and tesla driving more than 100% ge, salesforce and more locking in soft gains in the first half. will they keep this running going in the second, key question, tell us the answer, tim. >> well, i tell you, you talk about nvidia, and you talk about one of the greatest momentum moves we've seen in any stock of all time i think it's, you know, options traders are certainly planning on how or part of the strategy is how you deal with that upside vol you've had and how you look at the future. when i look at a facebook where i think around a.i., and we just recently talked about this 27% of their content is a.i. driven, i actually think they're in a position in the second half to continue to ride because that multiple is much less demanding than some of these other names netflix is a name i've been long and i'm starting to fade the position none of this is about a.i. for netflix, it's about the profitabi

mike and i are thinking the same way. when you get that cup and handle formation, one trade i do like doing is putting a risk reversal call spread on, or just routeright buying the cal waiting before i sell the further out of the money call. tesla seems like that's one. we've talked about consumer discretionary sort of lagging the market, but tesla is one of the leaders there. if this is a stock that broke in trend, it's probably going to be the first one to move higher, whereas, maybe the rest of the sector, autos and whatnot, sort of lag behind if there is a stock to play, i think tesla is one it's one of the most heavily traded equity options out there. >>> well, apple's worldwide developers conference gets underway next week the vr headset and the stock riding high. how should you play apple ahead of wwdc? brian, what are your thoughts here >> yeah. i think apple's an interesting play because it's such a big market cap it's been such a big mover, why the s&p 500 has been up so much. apple, microsoft, google, and nvidi

its head up and did just that mike, how do you flex now?> yeah. the there's a couple things one could do if you wanted to take profits, that's an understandable response you could sell out of the call spread that we discussed another thing you could consider doing is actually adjusting it if you actually rolled from the 350 calls up to the 370s, what you would do actually is take more money out of this trade than you initially put in. you would be locking in some profits but you would have another potential 20 bucks worth of up side that is another way you could play if you want to continue to bet on the long side here. >> carter, how does the chart look to you after this big move higher >> right so we had sold off dramatically to the 150 day moving average. stock bounced in response to earnings i think you've set a high here for a bit or goalposts of sorts. what we know is lulu closed on the absolute low of the day. yes, it was up a lot, of course, but it didn't hold its strength. so i think today's high will stand for a while. i i caught

on the desk, mike khouw, carter worth and brian stutland.he markets with a much better than expected employment data. the nasdaq leading the way notching its sixth straight winning week the dow sharply reversed what looked like a losing week, but it wasn't just the megacaps this week the russell 2000 logged the best day of the year closing above the 200 day moving average for the first time since march, but an internal indicator we'll talk more about in a moment, the vix, hitting its lowest level since july of 2021 carter, you were taking a look at this market through the lens of weightings. explain. >> right so we have with the ongoing strength of the largest cap names versus the average stock, we have a spread now that it was only seeing basically during the financial crisis and at the covid low. so the way to think of it is this -- either the high fliers the market in general is going to sink and the high flyers are going to sink more, or the market keeps advancing, in which case the laggards start to play catch-up, but the reading would

mike pence is in a fix.er it is was, he was loyal on the verge being obsequious. and then he did a very courageous thing. and he has managed to tick people off on both sides of the donald trump debate. people very loyal to donald trump think he was a traitor. people who watched over the four years give him credit for what he did, but still hold him accountable for essentially being an apologist for trump over the four years. it's a very tough place to be. >> scott, what do you expect? >> well, i think i'd like to know whether mike pence would pardon donald trump. to me, it's fairly obvious that he's likely i guess to hedge, to be indicted that might lead to a conviction. i think it's a relevant question and probably ongoing in the primary. i think pence is in a different argument spot than say desantis. desantis' argument against trump is we have to end the culture of losing. the argument mike pence made today is he violated his oath of office and cannot and must not be returned to the white house that is no

mike pence will do what he can to attract attention.takes. in a very congested race, it's still candidates like him versus the absent donald trump, and it is the former president who still is clearly in the lead. sarah smith, bbc news, des moines, iowa. and just before i go lets take a look at some incredible footage of one of the world's most active volcanoes — which has errupted in hawaii. here you can see the volcano, spewing massive flows of lava around the crater floor. it erupted yesterday, for the second time this year. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. hello. some weather changes are now starting to take place. today really has been more of the same, more of the weather we've become used to. early low cloud burning back towards the east coast and then some warm sunshine. but, down to the south west of us, you can see this lumpy cloud, some showers and some thunderstorms looming. and just ahead of that over the next few days, a feed of much warmer and much more humid air. i think you really will notice the di

mike, can you hear me? ♪ minnesota minnesota ♪ >> jimmy: mike, it's -- >> is that kimmie campbell? heck you keep getting cameras everywhere? >> jimmy: we never established that. i want to know how you're doing and really what you're doing right now. >> if you must know, i'm burying all my loot in the ground. >> jimmy: oh, yeah, i heard you got banned by your bank. >> that's okay. i call this nature savings account. >> jimmy: okay, that's a positive way of thinking about it. i wanted to ask, what are you doing trying to deliver pillows to canada? >> i got a u-haul packed with luxurious mypillows for the truckers, but those canucks won't let me in! so then i was saying maybe i should toss 'em out of a helicopter. >> jimmy: right, i heard that. although -- i don't know. wouldn't they get sucked up into the rotor blades? if you threw pillows out of a -- >> ordinary pillows would get sucked up into the rotor blades, yes. but mypillows are filled with patented dead pigeon technology which helps them fall from the sky like bricks.

. >> mike khouw, what do you think of these first half hotties? can they continue to run >> they certainly could. we have seen high flying stocks in other sort of, you know, bullish areas continue for extended periods, and certainly names like nvidia could continue options traders are seemingly quite optimistic this is one of the most active names. if you want to understand what they're thinking, you can take a look at options volumes and nvidia has been in the top ten consistently i think it was number four today and if you look at it on a notional basis, even higher. the thing is these kinds of valuations if you're a longer term investor, sort of talking about the first half and looking ahead to the second half and beyond, it's a little bit harder for a name like this to really stay ahead i happen to think that a lot of the economic data we've been getting lately seems better than we might have otherwise expected if i was going to be picking things to be long for the second half, this isn't the place i'd put new money to work. >> fair enough bon

>> mike pence, he's a good and honorable man, but i think mike pence is trying to stake out his own lane run as a traditional, conservative republican, socially very conservative, trying to appeal to evangelicals and frankly, i think that's a difficult road at this point. especially mike pence is well-known on the abortion issue for example. he'll take the hardest position of all the candidates. not a great issue, frankly n a general election, and i don't think it's that great an issue in the republican primary. i think he's going to have a difficult time finding a lane. also, like the other candidates, they need to draw a sharp contrast with donald trump. mike pence is going to have to do that. he has been so tied to donald trump, but for post 2020 election when mike pence stood up and did the right thing. that's going to be mike pence's challenge. as was just stated by vaughn, these candidates can't try to battle themselves for second place. they have to go against the lead candidate. that's donald trump. fighting with each other, winning second place is really not a victory at all. yo

mike pence joins his former boss donald trump. who said nice things about him and former new jersey governor chris christie just launched his campaign yesterday and the former president did pick out the fact that chris christie he says, watch chris christie will go after the spiralling governor desantis. i think he will go after president trump >> ainsley: he said he's willing to take on the front-runner, desantis is willing, too. chris christie is someone to watch, someone we enjoy hearing. his sound bites can be colorful. he's not afraid. remember in 2016, he was yelling at someone who stood up and he yelled back at them. he is always interesting, can he beat donald trump? he wasn't able to in 2016, not sure he will get traction. >> steve: it is 517 days until the election. >> ainsley: the countdown is on. >> steve: absolutely. it is interesting, going back to former vice president mike pence, what they're trying to do and if the former vice president is watching, happy birthday, 64 today. his team -- >> ainsley: you said he is

crowd chanting: hang mike pence!e" was the cry from rioters who stormed the rioters who stormed the capitol onjanuary 6. now, defying donald trump and defending the constitution is a campaign pitch. i believe that anyone who puts themselves over the constitution should never be president of the united states. mr pence is on much safer ground in iowa, which will be the first state to pick a republican presidential nominee. also gripping and grinning with voters is florida governor ron desantis, senator tim scott — in fact, eight presidential candidates were all under the same roof last weekend. i want to say to you with deep conviction that god is not done with america yet. mike pence is already well—known to voters, and yet he is still trailing badly in the polls behind donald trump, the clear frontrunner. who knows? the more candidates like pence who get into the race, the more they split that anti—trump vote, and the easier they could make it for mr trump to win the nomination. these voters didn't get to hearfrom t

i think mike pence, you know, liberals have always hated mike pence.ike pence because of the events around january 6. and, so, i -- frankly, i don't understand why he's in this race. i don't see who the constituency is. >> well, i'm glad he's running. you know? i will say a couple things about mike pence. this is somebody that actually believes in something. i don't agree with him. but he's a conviction politician. and i think that's important. i respect mike pence. but i think it's healthy for the party and healthy for the country. >> you're just covering for the momentum. that's what you want to call it. >> we're not going to talk about that. >> i love that point. appreciate that. >> we'll speak with the brother of former president mike pence, greg pence in, our next hour. and tonight dana bash will moderate the town hall with mike pence. that is at 9:00 p.m. eastern. >> another mass shooting in america. this one at a high school graduation in richmond, virginia. two people are dead including an 18-year-old graduate. several more were injured includi

mike, what's your take on adobe? >> an also own adobe what i like about the strategy sur trying to squeeze as much juice as you can about whatever's remaining if you're long tech names such as adobe this is a way you can get juice out without taking more capital out and taking risk to the downside. my guess is you're closer to the end of the tech rally we've seen than we are to the beginning of it using strategies like this one where you don't take risk but give yourself juice for the upside moves will allow you to essentially get a little extra education poesexposure here. >> carter, how does tech look and ivg in general >> ivg looks similar to adobe. but it's to the point of laggard. cisco a week or two another in the same light these two have legs relative to the most extended names. >> all right, coming up, some carvana enlightenment. why options traders are kicking the tires on this trade. >>> we are shining a light on people inspiring america in a network special. jane goodall is still traveling the globe with

mike reese says he was on the same expaw tkeugs. mike says it was a one-of-a-kind voyage that made him feel safe no matter how deep they were falling. here's what the couple had to say about their experience. >> the mission control there that follows the sub, they could tell me where the sub was located, what was appearing. i got the sense that the mission control was in communication with the sub. >> there's no furniture inside the submarine. there's a comfortable piece of carpeting and it has the steel mesh walls, and i never felt the pressure change in my ears. not even as uncomfortable as like a 10th floor elevator ride. >> mike mentioning it was a long waiver he had to sign and the reality of death was mentioned, sometimes several times on the first page of the waiver. the couple, like the rest of the world, is track this search and they know at least two of the five passengers that are missing on the sub. and this many hours in, we're told at this point some organs -- because of the cold temperatures and lack of oxygen, may al
