To The Moon

Have you thought Closing $Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ in Y2025 at $214 and currently trading at $552 (up 160% YTD). Wall Street is putting the red-carpet and welcome this soon to be $1 trillion market cap.

180 PE, you think is High or Low?

But buying shares at a multi-month high is an aggressive move. Implied volatility (the market's expected price swing) is highly elevated. Instead of buying expensive shares, smart traders sell that expensive premium.

Here are two scenario blueprints to navigate this semiconductor volatility without chasing the top.

Strategy 1: The Income Generation Route (The Wheel Strategy)

The Wheel Strategy (a repetitive process of selling puts to collect premium and potentially buy stock at a discount) fits this setup well.

• The Setup: Sell a Cash-Secured Put (an option contract where you agree to buy shares if the price drops) below current support.

• The Target: Look at the $500 strike price expiring after the July 22–23 AI event.

• Scenario A: If AMD stays above $500, you keep the entire premium as pure income.

• Scenario B: If AMD drops, you get assigned shares at a net cost well below $500.

Strategy 2: The Defined-Risk Approach (Bull Put Spread)

If you want a strictly capped risk profile, a spread limits your downside.

• The Setup: Execute a Bull Put Spread (selling a higher-strike put and buying a lower-strike put at the same time).

• The Target: Sell the $500 put and buy the $480 put for protection.

• The Benefit: Your maximum loss is completely locked in from day one. You profit if AMD stays flat, rises, or even dips slightly.

The Trading Rules

• Do not sell puts at the very top of a daily green candle.

• Wait for intraday profit-taking to spike option prices before entering.

• Focus on the major support zones.
