AAOG snapshot
As of September 29, 2026, spot at $2.09, ATM IV 183.90%, expected move 52.72%. The long put on AAOG below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 80-day expiry.
Why this long put structure on AAOG specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for AAOG is inferred from ATM IV at 183.90% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 52.72% (roughly $1.10 on the underlying). The 80-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated AAOG expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on AAOG should anchor to the underlying notional of $2.09 per share and to the trader's directional view on AAOG stock.
AAOG long put setup
The AAOG long put below is built from the September 29, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With AAOG at $2.09 on that close, the first option leg uses a $2.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed AAOG chain at a 80-day expiry; the cross-strike IV skew is reflected directly in the per-leg values rather than approximated. Quantity sizing assumes one contract per option leg (or 100 AAOG shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

AAOG thesis for this long put
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for AAOG extends from approximately $0.99 on the downside to $3.19 on the upside. A AAOG long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long AAOG position with one put per 100 shares held. As a Financial Services name, AAOG options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to AAOG-specific events.
AAOG long put positions are structurally bearish; the modeled P&L assumes European-style exercise at expiration and ignores early assignment, transaction costs, dividends paid before expiry on the stock leg (when present), and the bid-ask spread on the listed chain. AAOG positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move AAOG alongside the broader basket even when AAOG-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on AAOG are particularly exposed to IV-crush risk through scheduled events (earnings, FDA decisions, central-bank meetings) where IV typically contracts post-event regardless of the directional outcome. Always rebuild the position from current AAOG chain quotes before placing a trade.
