Trade Alert: Getting Paid To Bet On Nuclear

The options market's giving us a much better setup today.

Why Two of Tonight’s Top Names Stand Out

One of tonight’s top names is a nuclear-sector stock that appeared in last week’s ranking as well. At the time, we weren’t able to structure an attractive options position in it — the calls were too expensive relative to what we could reasonably finance with puts.

That changed this week.

With implied volatility settling into a more favorable skew, we were finally able to build a hybrid structure that both reduces net capital at risk and leaves the door open for a much larger move than the market is pricing. It also gives us exposure through two different catalysts — earnings in the spring, and a potential re-rating that often follows pullbacks in this particular subsector.

Our second trade today fits neatly into our AI digital-infrastructure theme. The company is a plays-well-with-crypto name whose business sits directly at the intersection of AI compute, high-performance data centers, and the energy intensity of blockchain. It has the volatility we like, and the options setup allows us to harvest enough short-term IV to keep our long call exposure affordable.

As always, the goal with these structures is the same:
harvest IV where it’s richest, define our downside, and give ourselves a shot at asymmetric upside.

Below are today’s two trades.
