What is a collar on BEEM?
A collar pairs long stock with a protective out-of-the-money put financed by a short out-of-the-money call, capping both tails of the position around the current spot.
Current BEEM snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $1.75, ATM IV 187.40%, IV rank 50.71%, expected move 53.73%. The collar on BEEM below is built from the same end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 34-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on BEEM specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range BEEM IV at 187.40% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 53.73% (roughly $0.94 on the underlying). The 34-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated BEEM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on BEEM should anchor to the underlying notional of $1.75 per share and to the trader's directional view on BEEM stock.
BEEM collar setup
The BEEM collar below is built from the end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With BEEM near $1.75, the first option leg uses a $1.84 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed BEEM chain at a 34-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 BEEM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $1.75 | long |
| Sell 1 | Call | $1.84 | N/A |
| Buy 1 | Put | $1.66 | N/A |

BEEM thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for BEEM extends from approximately $0.81 on the downside to $2.69 on the upside. A BEEM collar hedges an existing long BEEM position with a protective put while financing the put cost via a short call; when the premiums roughly offset, the collar acts as a near-zero-cost insurance band around the current spot. Current BEEM IV rank near 50.71% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on BEEM should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Energy name, BEEM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to BEEM-specific events.
BEEM collar positions are structurally neutral (protective); 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. BEEM positions also carry Energy sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move BEEM alongside the broader basket even when BEEM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current BEEM chain quotes before placing a trade.
