Today, the implied volatility for Nvidia options is at 51%, a five-year high. Once impossible trades are now doable.
I have been trying to buy Netflix for years, but it has always been insanely expensive. Investors are willing to pay big premiums for reliable dividends and earnings compounders like (NFLX).
However, after a 15% decline in a month, the shares are no longer insanely expensive, just expensive. I am going to get into Netflix because they are an absolutely outstanding company that clearly won the streaming wars.
If we had a different president of the United States, I would be recommending a two-year LEAPS on Netflix right now. But the world is too uncertain and unstable to contemplate such long-term risk now. I‘ll wait for the recession versus the depression to get settled first.
As far as I know, Netflix has no government contracts that can get cut any day without notice, a great risk to any share price these days.
I am therefore buying the Netflix (NFLX) April 2025 $800-$810 in-the-money vertical Bull Call debit spread at $8.50 or best.
Don’t pay more than $9.00 or you’ll be chasing on a risk/reward basis.
DO NOT USE MARKET ORDERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
Simply enter your limit order, wait five minutes, and if you don’t get done, cancel your order and increase your bid by 10 cents with a second order. If that gets you nothing, try raising your strike prices by $1.00.
If you don’t want to sit in front of a screen all day, simply enter a spread of Good-Until-Cancelled orders overnight, like $8.50, $8.60, $8.70, $8.80, and $8.90. You should get done on some or all of these.

By 2022, "Netflix Original" productions accounted for half of its library in the United States and the namesake company had ventured into other categories, such as video games and mobile games, through its flagship service. As of 2023, Netflix was the 23rd most visited website in the world, with 23.66% of its traffic coming from the US, followed by the United Kingdom at 5.84%, and Brazil at 5.64%.

The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. The difference between the bid and the offer on these deep-in-the-money spread trades can be enormous.
Don’t execute the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices at best. After the alerts go out, prices can be all over the map.
