Current XXI snapshot
As of June 30, 2026, spot at $4.92, ATM IV 262.20%, IV rank 87.50%, expected move 75.17%. The collar on XXI 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 17-day expiry.
Why this collar structure on XXI specifically: IV regime affects collar pricing on both sides; elevated XXI IV at 262.20% typically pushes the short call premium to roughly offset the long put cost, with a market-implied 1-standard-deviation move of approximately 75.17% (roughly $3.70 on the underlying). The 17-day window matched to the front-month expiry keeps theta exposure bounded while still capturing the post-snapshot move; longer-dated XXI expiries trade a higher absolute premium for lower per-day decay. Position sizing on XXI should anchor to the underlying notional of $4.92 per share and to the trader's directional view on XXI stock.
XXI collar setup
The XXI 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 XXI near $4.92, the first option leg uses a $5.17 strike; additional legs (when the strategy has them) anchor to spot-relative offsets. Premiums come from the bid/ask midpoint on the listed XXI chain at a 17-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 XXI shares for the stock leg in covered calls and collars).

|---|---|---|---|
| Buy 100 shares | Stock | $4.92 | long |

| Buy 1 | Put | $4.67 | N/A |

XXI thesis for this collar
The market-implied 1-standard-deviation range for XXI extends from approximately $1.22 on the downside to $8.62 on the upside. A XXI collar hedges an existing long XXI 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 XXI IV rank near 87.50% sits in the upper third of its 1-year distribution, which historically reverts; this raises the bar for premium-buying structures and lowers it for premium-selling structures on XXI at 262.20%. As a Financial Services name, XXI options can move on sector-level news flow (peer earnings, regulatory updates, industry-specific macro data) in addition to XXI-specific events.
XXI 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. XXI positions also carry Financial Services sector concentration risk; news flow inside the sector (peer earnings, regulatory shifts, supply-chain headlines) can move XXI alongside the broader basket even when XXI-specific fundamentals are unchanged. Always rebuild the position from current XXI chain quotes before placing a trade.
