Markets are suffering from a bit of holiday hangover with stocks falling Monday over concerns of Chinese labor disputes.
The demonstrations erupted in response to the nation’s latest round of strict COVID-19 lockdown policies and have weighed on stock prices for tech and growth names…
The sour sentiment comes at a bad time for our old friends Cathie Wood and Zoom, the top holding in her ARK Innovation ETF (NYSEArca: ARKK).
Shares of the video networking platform plunged as much as 4.8% from its previous closing price, marking its ninth straight day of losses.
The streak is the worst stretch for the company since May 2021, with shares down around 16% so far for November.
Wondering what those little arrows mean and how they can help improve your trading? Get the details here!
And while I’m avoiding Zoom and Cathie Wood like the plague, the prolonged losing streak is catching the attention of bearish traders Monday.
About 30 minutes into the open, my scanners picked up one big-money trader loading up on more than 2,000 contracts of the Mar. 17, 2023 expiration, $80 strike puts for around $2.5 million in premium!
And that’s not the only long-dated flow we’re seeing…
- Array Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: ARRY): April 21, 2023, $25 CALL.
- GameStop Corp. (NYSE: GME): Dec. 16, $26 PUT.
- Zoom Video Communications Inc. (Nasdaq: ZM): March. 17, 2023, $80 PUT.
