Looking at options expiring today..
there is an open interest of 51K CALLS expiring at $195, BUT there's also 28K PUTS expiring at $192.50.
I expect us do close somewhere in between the two, possibly just below the $195, making the 12K PUTS at $195 worthless too.

Because of the direction that the pre-market taken, I'm think that the party is back on again boys and girls.

FWIW, you can probably mentally write off the ticket price expense when seeing the new Mission Impossible as a "worries about AI taking over" thought process.
These days I'm generally boring and don't see a movie in the theatre, not really seeing any benefit to doing that. Tom and the director even gave a "thanks for seeing it in a theatre" message, which my family told me they did for Top Gun too.
But it was a good movie.

And I remember the Mission Impossible TV episodes as being great. It also had extra scenes just for the sake of having extra scenes. I hate when they do that. Just because they have fancy tools that can do all sorts of cool CGI doesn't mean that they have to make excessive use of those tools.

As far as going back further, sometimes what was good or great then doesn't hit the mark on a rewatch. For us that happened with MacGyver, where we rewatched a couple old shows when the new series was coming out. In the end, we didn't like either. Guess the green didn't hold for AAPL. But that should only be a short term issue that doesn't matter much when looking at the bigger picture and longer timeframe.

It’s an interesting read.

It’s an interesting read. Good to know, but I doubt the author when he or she or it identifies TD and Robinhood as stable brokers? First TD is being sold to Charles Schwab. The transaction is a done deal and the best websiite, TSDs, will vanish. The Hood has been around for a short time. Gives one pause.

I was also shocked that Robin de Hood was on the list, but the jest of the story is, plan accordingly.
