In this episode of The Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down a respectable day on the options tape, where it took over 522,000 contracts just to break into the Top 10. We dive deep into the massive retail and institutional flow hitting the tape for Tesla (TSLA) as robo-taxi hype sends shares soaring toward the key $450 level. We also analyze the fallout from Intel (INTC) earnings—why the stock is sliding in the after-hours despite a recent massive run—and look at the long-term "winner winner chicken dinner" bets being placed on Netflix (NFLX). On today's report, we cover: Tesla (TSLA): The battle for the 450 strike and the massive volume leading the tape. Intel (INTC): Post-earnings breakdown—why the Jan 60 calls are feeling the pain. Netflix (NFLX): Huge size moving in the September 100 calls. Is paper betting on a long-term recovery? Meta (META): A massive $34 rally—is the "bargain" hunt officially on? Nvidia (NVDA) & AMD: Tracking the semiconductor giants as they navigate pre-earnings positioning. Micron (MU) & Apple (AAPL): Checking the pulse of the tech heavyweights as they fight for gains.

Stephen Sopko sees a "fantastic" demand cycle for AI demand bolstering Intel (INTC) ahead of earnings. It's the company's customer base that he thinks may open a trap door to selling action. Stephen believes Intel needs to make moves that put the company "in the middle of a marketplace" for the tech trade. He makes comparisons to TSMC (TSM) to explain ways Intel can learn from international foundry competitors.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

TSMC's (TSM) record net profit in earnings is what Ben Bajarin calls a strong bullish signal for the AI trade. He sees the report giving a green light for other chipmakers to move higher, from Nvidia (NVDA) to Intel (INTC). Kim Forrest says the earnings dismiss any concerns for an AI bubble by "putting their money where their mouth is." As TSMC seeks to create smaller chips, Kim expects operating costs to increase.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

On This Episode: The Trading Block: The "Meme-ification" of Silver The Silver Surge: Why Uncle Mike thinks Silver has officially entered "meme stock" territory after a staggering 20% move in one week.

Volatility Check: VIX comes back to earth toward the 15 handle, but the VVX remains "frothy" at 98.

Kevin Green notes that the Russell 2000 is outperforming the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow, driven by a rotation into value and risk-on sentiment in certain market pockets.

Green also analyzes JB Hunt Transport Services (JBHT) earnings, highlighting expense management but noting revenue deceleration. Finally, he touches on a recent U.S. trade deal with Taiwan, which could incentivize domestic production and reduce tariffs, potentially benefiting companies like Intel (INTC). ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Ahead of Intel (INTC) earnings, Rick Ducat looks at the chart performance for the U.S. semiconductor stock. Comparing it to Nvidia (NVDA) over the last 3 years, he displays the dramatic difference between the two.

Later, Tom White composes an example trade for Intel using a call vertical strategy. Tom walks investors through the reasons it is considered a bullish trade and why he positioned it for December instead of closer to its earnings report.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

However, he acknowledges that some companies “might not make it.” He's looking to names like Western Digital (WDC), Seagate (STX), and other memory creators; he likes the “picks and shovels” of the tech industry. He also likes Intel (INTC), though he warns they could have a “few soft quarters” ahead.

BofA sees "strategic" challenges for Intel (INTC) as a major reason behind its downgrade on the stock. As Marley Kayden explains, the analyst also cites a "too far, too fast" drive higher in the stock price.
