What is a collar on RDNW?
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 RDNW snapshot
As of May 15, 2026, spot at $7.92, ATM IV 177.40%, IV rank 46.00%, expected move 50.86%. The collar on RDNW 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 RDNW specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; mid-range RDNW IV at 177.40% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 50.86% (roughly $4.03 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 RDNW expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on RDNW should anchor to the underlying notional of $7.92 per share and to the trader's directional view on RDNW stock.
RDNW collar setup
The RDNW 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 RDNW near $7.92, the first option leg uses a $8.32 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed RDNW 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 RDNW shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|

RDNW thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for RDNW extends from approximately $3.89 on the downside to $11.95 on the upside. A RDNW collar hedges an existing long RDNW 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 RDNW IV rank near 46.00% is mid-range against its 1-year distribution, so the IV signal is neutral; the collar thesis on RDNW should anchor more to the directional view and the expected-move geometry. As a Consumer Cyclical name, RDNW options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to RDNW-specific events.
RDNW 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. RDNW positions also carry Consumer Cyclical sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move RDNW alongside the broader basket even when RDNW-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current RDNW chain quotes before placing a trade.
