NO IV + Max Pain, Volume and OI Data until today (06/30/2026) or until Monday (07/05/2026)
I'm going out of town so I'll be away from my computer. Already feeling the withdrawal symptoms setting in and I haven't even packed yet.
But there is good news - you can look up the information yourselves!
IV30 Data — https://marketchameleon.com/Overview/GME/IV/
Max Pain Data — https://chartexchange.com/symbol/nyse-gme/optionchain/summary/?adjustment=GME
As always, have fun, happy hunting, stay safe and see everyone Monday.

And finally, at someone's suggestion —
WHAT IS IMPLIED VOLATILITY (IV)? —
(Taken from https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/iv.asp ) —
Dumbed down, IV is a forward-looking metric measuring how likely the market thinks the price is to change between now and when an options contract expires. The higher IV is, the higher premiums on contracts run. The more radically the price of a security swings over a short period of time, the higher IV pumps, driving options prices higher as well.
The longer the price trades relatively flat, the more IV will drop over time.
IV is just one of many variables (called 'greeks') used to price options contracts.
WHAT IS HISTORICAL VOLATILITY (HV)? —
(Taken from https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/historicalvolatility.asp ) —
Dumbed down, I'm not fully sure. Based on what I read, it's a historical metric derived from how the price in the past has moved away from the average price over a selected interval. But the short of it is that it determines how 'risky' the market thinks a stock (or an option I guess) is. The higher the historical volatility over a given period, the more 'risky' they think it is. The lower the HV over a period of time, the 'safer' a security (or option) is.
And if anyone wants to fill in some knowledge gaps or correct where these analyses are wrong, please feel free.
WHAT IS 'MAX PAIN'? —
In this context, 'max pain' is the price at which the most options (both calls and puts) for a security will expire worthless. For some (or many), it is a long held belief that market manipulators will manipulate the price of a stock toward this number to fuck over people who buy options.
ONE LAST THOUGHT —
If used to make any decision. which it absolutely should NOT be (obligatory #NFA disclaimer), this information should not be considered on its own, but as one point in a ridiculously complex and convoluted ocean of data points that I'm way too stupid to list out here. Mostly, this information is just to keep people abreast of the movement of one key variable options writers use to fuck us over on a weekly and quarterly basis if we DO choose to play options.

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE Hedge Funds SINCE I BEGAN Buying GME. THERE ARE 559 Shares OF GME IN My ROTH IRA Account THAT Diminish In Value Every Day For No Reason. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF Shares IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR Hedge Funds AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR Ken Griffin. HATE.

Today was supposed to be our 13 year anniversary.
Instead - we didn't even get to celebrate our 2 year anniversary.
I have weird, mixed feelings. I'm through the 'crippling depression' phase of this, and would even go so far as to say (since the gall-bladder surgery) things are generally 'good' - as long as I'm not actively thinking about it.
But days like this, it's really kind of impossible not to.
I'm not incapacitated, but I'm also really kind of not enjoying this moment.
I guess that's all.
Hope one day everyone in this hell can reach some similar place where the fires burn a little cooler and the coals glow a little dimmer.

And finally, at someone's suggestion —
WHAT IS IMPLIED VOLATILITY (IV)? —
(Taken from https://www.investopedia.com/terms/i/iv.asp ) —
Dumbed down, IV is a forward-looking metric measuring how likely the market thinks the price is to change between now and when an options contract expires. The higher IV is, the higher premiums on contracts run. The more radically the price of a security swings over a short period of time, the higher IV pumps, driving options prices higher as well.
The longer the price trades relatively flat, the more IV will drop over time.
IV is just one of many variables (called 'greeks') used to price options contracts.
WHAT IS HISTORICAL VOLATILITY (HV)? —
(Taken from https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/historicalvolatility.asp ) —
Dumbed down, I'm not fully sure. Based on what I read, it's a historical metric derived from how the price in the past has moved away from the average price over a selected interval. But the short of it is that it determines how 'risky' the market thinks a stock (or an option I guess) is. The higher the historical volatility over a given period, the more 'risky' they think it is. The lower the HV over a period of time, the 'safer' a security (or option) is.
And if anyone wants to fill in some knowledge gaps or correct where these analyses are wrong, please feel free.
WHAT IS 'MAX PAIN'? —
In this context, 'max pain' is the price at which the most options (both calls and puts) for a security will expire worthless. For some (or many), it is a long held belief that market manipulators will manipulate the price of a stock toward this number to fuck over people who buy options.

GME could buy back 20% of the free float right now and still have over $200 million to buy back even more when they crash the price even further in response (because of course they would).
409,070,000 * 0.20 * 21.51 = $1,759,819,140
$2,000,000,000 - $1,759,819,140 = $240,180,860
So anyway, I kept on buying.
Edit: JFC either the bots are out in force or there is some legit disingenuity in some of these comments. Either way, it makes me want to go buy even more out of pure spite lol.
Edit 2: There seems to be some misunderstanding - this is a number post, not a 'pull the trigger' post. I'm not suggesting or implying he should or will 'pull the trigger' on a buyback here. If the price is this low now, and the numbers are the above, imagine how they change when idiots push the price even lower.

Me watching the SPY shit its pants for the 4th straight day in a row, like:
Maybe reality is finally starting to set in? Maybe we won't see some idiotic reversal tomorrow in complete defiance of what should be the case?
I bet not. I bet $30.00 on a $740.00 1DTE call expiring tomorrow not. $30.00 I'll happily piss away if this shit keeps sliding. Because it's nice to see things finally start to make some kind of sense.
