Nvidia Stock Looks Too Cheap Here - Put Premiums are Very High and Worth Shorting

Nvidia Inc. (NVDA) stock has taken a tumble since the end of March but it looks too cheap now. Moreover, its put premiums are sky-high. This makes them worth shorting both for income and with low buy-in strike prices. That applies to out-of-the-money puts whose near-term premiums are at very high levels.  

NVDA stock closed at $762 on Friday, April 12, 2024, down $188.02 or 19.8% since March 25 when it was at $950.02. Moreover, on Feb. 22, the day after it released earnings on Feb. 21, NVDA stock was at $785.38. However, that was up $110.66 or 16.4% from the day before earnings came out.
