So, get this. I'm sitting at home, minding my own business, when my phone pings. It's my grandma. Now, most grandmas are all about knitting or baking cookies, right? Not mine. She just hit me up to brag about opening a strangle on NVIDIA.
Yeah, you heard that right. My 82-year-old grandma, who still calls Netflix "the Netflix," is out here playing the options market like she's the Wolf of Wall Street.
She starts breaking down the strategy like a pro: "Well, honey, I bought a call at 160 and a put at 140. The implied volatility on NVDA is just too juicy to pass up!"
Meanwhile, I'm sitting there Googling what the heck implied volatility even means. She’s talking about hedging her risks and I'm just trying to remember if I set my fantasy football lineup.
And if that wasn't enough, she finished by saying, "Just remember, sweetie, it's all about the Greeks."
Guess who's now second place in the family trading competition? This guy.
TL;DR: My grandma is trading NVIDIA options and making me feel like a financial noob. How's your weekend going?

No homo?
I hope it’s some high on cocaine and bud lights pasta type of shit cause if this is true story, then we are razor thin close to the top, if not already
I wouldn’t be surprised if this post is the pivot point and we drill to the earth core tomorrow.
solid strategy.
Whenever I hear anyone use the word “hardcore” non-ironically, I immediately think they’re an Elon fan boy and and incel. I can’t help it.
Grandma can too!
Yeah and then you woke up
