Author discloses long NVDA call position expecting a pre-CES pump above $195, while questioning Venezuela's impact.
Unpriced research observations (excluded from Calls and Returns):
NVDA — LONG The author bought call options expecting NVDA to pump above $195 before Jensen's CES speech after market close, citing speech anticipation as the main catalyst. He argues Venezuela should not affect NVDA because guidance did not include China, so the CES event is the biggest driver. Returns would track NVDA stock direction, not option P&L. The market may behave irrationally, which is his stated concern. ambiguous_option_contract
