AI Summary
Summary
The author sold put options on SPCX (strikes 150–195) on the first day of options trading, expecting the stock to stay above those levels despite lower-than-expected premiums due to a $60 billion acquisition news.
Thesis: SPCX’s market cap surge to #4 (above Amazon) justifies a bullish stance; selling puts captures high implied volatility on a newly optionable stock.
Quality assessment: Speculation with some reasoning (premium pricing, deal impact), but lacks deep fundamental or technical analysis; more of a momentum-based trade than researched DD.

Woke up early before any indications on the SPCX maiden options trading day June 16, 2026. Pre open with SPCX still under 203, I placed multiple STO Put orders at 150 to 195 Strikes. Got filled at $8 for the 190 Puts. The premium was lower, much lower than I calculated hours before, especially with the 229 printed overnight.
I guess the premium may have halved due to the all stock $60 billion deal for Cursor AI, but that news was not at all un-expected. So now as I write this, SPCX has climbed to #4 market cap, ahead of Amazon and now Microsoft nearing $3 Trillion.
