The Option Block 1494: Radioactive HYPE...and Yurts!

On this episode of **The Option Block**, we're feeling the HYPE as we break down the latest action across the options markets. We discuss the renewed surge in crypto and HYPE, what the market is watching ahead of NVIDIA earnings, and some unusual upside activity in VIX options. Then we head into the Odd Block for a radioactive blast from the past as **Denison Mines (DNN)** returns to the spotlight amid renewed interest in uranium and nuclear stocks. Is aggressive call buying a sign that the uranium bulls are getting ready for another run? Uncle Mike also explores potential options-based alternatives for the conservative portion of a portfolio, including protective puts and collars, before we wrap things up with what the panel is watching for the rest of the week. Plus: Bitcoin, MSTR, SMR, earnings volatility, fixed income alternatives, geopolitical uncertainty…and, naturally, yurts. **Featuring:** Mark Longo, Mike Tosaw and Andrew Giovinazzi.
