Options Fun Fact: Why Put Buyers Welcome Dividends | #OptionsHandbook EP023

Dividends aren’t just good news for shareholders. In the options world, Put (bearish) buyers also benefit—even though they don’t own the stock.🙋‍♂️ 📒 In The Options Handbook, the answer is pretty clear: ▶ Ex-Dividend Day Pushes Stock Prices Down 🏦 When a company pays dividends, the stock price usually drops on the ex-dividend date. ▶ Lower Stock Price = More Valuable Puts 📈 A falling stock price boosts the intrinsic value of Put options. For long-term bearish strategies—especially on high-dividend stocks—higher dividend yields mean your Put contracts become even more valuable. 🛒 Want more insights like this?

$SKYWARD SPECIALTY INS GROUP INC(SKWD)$ SKWD: bought some shares of SKWD at $48.54after the shares had fallen 10 out of the last 11 weeks from its peak at $65 made in early June. I had previously trades SKWD last Nov and sold all off for small profit only to miss the major run up. Now, I'm getting myself back into accumulation and we'll see if the stock still have some legs. Might not be bottom so had divided my purchases into few batches before my full allocation is met. Prepared to be averaging down or buying in the way up depending on how the market and this company trades. Earnings on 30th July were good, and company still sold down a bit so that triggers my buying. Insurance business is defensive in nature so I'm adding more defensi

$UnitedHealth(UNH)$ Yesterday, UnitedHealth Group UNH delivered a market shocker — not through earnings, but thanks to Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway quietly revealing a new $1.6 billion stake in the healthcare giant. The news sent UNH shares soaring over 10% in a single day, breaking through key resistance levels with unusually high volume. For me, this is the kind of short-term setup worth watching. Berkshire's entry often acts as a powerful sentiment driver, attracting institutional momentum and retail interest alike. Even if Buffett's time horizon is long-term, the initial market reaction tends to create short-lived surges as traders and funds reposition to ride the“Buffett halo effect.” From a technical standpoint, UNH has now broken

$Direxion Daily Semiconductors Bull 3x Shares(SOXL)$ I've been steadily adding to my position in SOXL (Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X Shares), and here's why. First, my long-term conviction in the semiconductor sector hasn't changed. In fact, I believe semiconductors remain the backbone of future technological growth—from AI and data centers to EVs, 5G, and consumer electronics. As global demand for computing power and connectivity accelerates, the need for advanced chips will only grow. Second, the recent volatility has presented opportunities. While short-term corrections in chip stocks often grab headlines, I see these pullbacks as natural pauses in a much bigger secular uptrend. For me, dips are an invitation to accumulate more at a

$Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ Why I'm Averaging Up in Palantir (PLTR) Despite High Valuations Palantir (PLTR) has been one of the market's hottest names, and yes—its valuation looks stretched by almost any traditional metric. But despite the premium pricing, I'm continuing to average up through a disciplined Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy. Here's why. First, I remain long-term bullish on Palantir's business model. The company has successfully transitioned from being purely government-focused to steadily expanding its commercial footprint. Its Foundry and AI platforms are becoming mission-critical tools for enterprises navigating the data-driven economy. For me, that kind of stickiness in customer adoption justifies paying a premium

$AMAT 20250829 155.0 PUT$ AMAT: collect $160 (1%) premium on this short put with strike at $155 and expiring in 2 weeks on 29th Aug.  AMAT dropped 14% on 15th Aug after earnings despite a double beat.  The fall is more attributed to weaker demand in China and guided a lower coming quarters.  This certainly warrants a drop in price.  However if I were to read between the lines, the weak demands is due to hold up in export license by the US Gov and this is mostly likely the way extract concession with Amat and also China on the borderline of extortion.  While I don't like what it's been done, I think AMAT can have the recent 'Apple' moment when they kiss the ring and US gov relaxed the regulation.&n
