LLYVK snapshot
As of August 14, 2026, spot at $108.90, ATM IV 28.70%, expected move 8.23%. The collar on LLYVK below is built from the August 14, 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 collar structure on LLYVK specifically: IV rank is unavailable in the current snapshot, so regime-based timing for LLYVK is inferred from ATM IV at 28.70% alone, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 8.23% (roughly $8.96 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 LLYVK expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on LLYVK should anchor to the underlying notional of $108.90 per share and to the trader's directional view on LLYVK stock.
LLYVK collar setup
The LLYVK collar below is built from the August 14, 2026 end-of-day chain, with each option leg priced at the bid/ask midpoint of its listed strike. With LLYVK at $108.90 on that close, the first option leg uses a $115.00 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed LLYVK 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 LLYVK shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

LLYVK thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for LLYVK extends from approximately $99.94 on the downside to $117.86 on the upside. A LLYVK collar hedges an existing long LLYVK 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. As a Communication Services name, LLYVK options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to LLYVK-specific events.
LLYVK 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. LLYVK positions also carry Communication Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move LLYVK alongside the broader basket even when LLYVK-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current LLYVK chain quotes before placing a trade.
