He bought the calls about a week and a half week ago.

I think IV crush is a risk gamblers accept when it comes to earnings.

I only trade daytrade futures, NQ and YM. I will look for setups in after hours trading.

Moot point.

The buyer is obviously expecting the stock to go up enough to offset any inflated IV.

I am not but I am thinking it will be a beat. Maybe add a poll to the thread so we can vote.

You are correct, friend just specifically said he is looking for NVDA to go to $1100.

You know it’s gambling when Reddit is warning people to avoid NVDA calls because they’re overpaying.
