SPY's the only short-gamma leg of the index complex right now
SPY at 707.66, sitting one strike under the gamma flip at 709.36. Net GEX is -$220M, so dealer hedging amplifies moves below the flip and supports them above. Call wall and put wall both pile into 710, which makes that the fight into expiry. QQQ (645) and IWM (276.51) are …

Naked calls on SNDK
Looks like free money to me. Calls are crazy expensive and SNDK is near the top
Sold $649 QQQ call options that expired Friday. They were all exercised while QQQ was under $649.
