The Hot Options Report: 08-05-2026
Description
SpaceX crashes while AMD's post-earnings rally fizzles. On this episode of The Hot Options Report, Mark Longo breaks down another action-packed day in the options market as traders react to a wave of earnings-driven volatility.
AMD briefly pushed back above the $500 level after earnings before reversing sharply, while SpaceX suffered a brutal post-earnings selloff in its first earnings report as a public company.
