$APP 20250808 280.0 PUT$ I closed 2 lot(s) $APP 20250808 280.0 PUT$  ,AppLovin (APP) is drawing major attention — and for good reason. Rumors around the S&P 500 inclusion have been swirling ever since the Paramount–Skydance merger raised questions about Paramount’s continued eligibility. That merger could create a vacancy in the index — and leading contenders for that spot include AppLovin and Robinhood, both strong in scale and visibility. On the fundamentals front, AppLovin just delivered a blockbuster Q2 report: • Earnings per share: $2.39, beating expectations by about 23%. • Revenue: $1.26 billion, up 77% year over year. Shares surged 12%, closing at $437.34, after breaking out from a “cup base” technical pattern. Despite the pop, things have settled since earnings — my cash-secured put (CSP) opened two weeks ago has been thoroughly crushed, allowing me to keep the full premium. I’m also carrying a naked short call, so now more than ever, I’ll be glued to price action — hoping the stock stabilizes rather than running parabolic.

    S&P inclusion would be a rocket—keep one eye on that merger news, it’s the wild card.

    Naked short call here is risky—if it breaks out again, that could sting. Hope it stabilizes!
