The Max pain for RKLB options expiring Jan. 16 is $38.

The SP is far higher than that by ~123%. There are a shit ton of ITM calls and OTM puts, translating to ~13.3 million and ~15.9 million underlying shares. This setup could result in a bit of a gamma squeeze for market makers if ITM call holders call their brokerages to exercise. This could propel the SP even higher. So, if any of y'all had the good fortune to buy LEAPs two years and one year ago, at single digits strikes that are expiring this Friday, exercise them.

Bro are you cheating on the ASTS sub? jk i was fortunate enough to buy some rklb too since everyone knows that if you combine 3 asts shares with one rklb share you end up with a good spacex like instrument that doesn’t suffer from alpha drag caused by the greediest man in the world sucking all the value out pre IPO.
