CLYM snapshot

As of November 13, 2026, spot at $10.36, ATM IV 106.10%, IV rank 10.59%, expected move 30.42%. The long put on CLYM below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with strikes snapped to listed contracts and premiums pulled from the bid/ask midpoint at a 35-day expiry.

Why this long put structure on CLYM specifically: CLYM IV at 106.10% is on the cheap side of its 1-year range, which favors premium-buying structures like a CLYM long put, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 30.42% (roughly $3.15 on the underlying). The 35-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated CLYM expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on CLYM should anchor to the underlying notional of $10.36 per share and to the trader's directional view on CLYM stock.

CLYM long put setup

The CLYM long put below is built from the November 13, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With CLYM at $10.36 on that close, the first option leg uses a $10.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed CLYM chain at a 35-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 CLYM shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

When traders use long put on CLYM

Long puts on CLYM hedge an existing long CLYM stock position or express a bearish view with defined risk; position sizing typically scales the put notional to the underlying CLYM exposure being hedged.

CLYM thesis for this long put

The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for CLYM extends from approximately $7.21 on the downside to $13.51 on the upside. A CLYM long put expresses a directional view that the underlying closes below the strike minus premium at expiration, frequently sized to hedge an existing long CLYM position with one put per 100 shares held. Current CLYM IV rank near 10.59% sits in the lower third of its 1-year distribution, where IV often re-expands toward the mean; this favors premium-buying structures and disadvantages premium-selling structures on CLYM at 106.10%. As a Healthcare name, CLYM options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to CLYM-specific events.

CLYM 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. CLYM positions also carry Healthcare sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move CLYM alongside the broader basket even when CLYM-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Long-premium structures like a long put on CLYM 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 CLYM chain quotes before placing a trade.
