**EA Acquisition is a TRAP.**If this turns out to be true, it is the single greatest insider trading setup in history.**Rule #1:** When the market is 100% certain about something, the administration has the keys to change it and make a profit, *they will*.Look at the pattern. UNH, PDD, DJT, KODAK. MASSIVE, traceable option flows right before a Trump flips the entire script. This is not a conspiracy, it's their business model. They move markets and profit from the chaos.Now look at EA. Board approved. Large funds will vote yes. And EVERYONE, is certain it will pass reg approval because Jared "My Father-in-Law is the President" Kushner is involved with the Saudis. The corruption is so blatant that the market has priced in a 0% chance of failure.**THIS IS THE SIGNAL.**When everyone is certain, it's not certain. The sale will be personally blocked by Trump's CFIUS. The justification? "Foreign control of American media." They'll use the TikTok playbook. Nobody wants the House of Saud brainwashing kids with microtransactions in FIFA, right? It actually makes sense, which is the beautiful part. The very corruption that makes everyone think it's a sure thing is the reason it will be killed.**THE REAL PLAY IS THE VEGA EVENT** This isn't just about the stock going down. Look at the options chain. The stock is anchored at ~$210, the aq price. Implied volatility is CRUSHED. It's priced like a fucking t-bill for the next 6 months.When the deal is blocked:1. The stock de-anchors and plummets.2. The "volatility crush" INSTANTLY UNWINDS. IV explodes.This means you don't just profit from price move, but vega, volatility expansion. You can buy cheap OTM puts, OTM calls, fucking strangles, anything with long expiry and it will PRINT. The potential contract pool is in the BILLIONS, not millions. This is a scalability they've never had before.They are setting the minefield. When the announcement drops, it won't be a rug pull. It will be a tactical nuke.
**Reality Check:** The Saudis aren't stupid. Why would they pay $210/share for a company with a 50 P/E when they could have been loading up at $120 for the last year? The financing for a $20B LBO at 8%+ interest would take a year to arrange. This was never about ownership. It's about pumping the valuation to create the perfect conditions for this trap. ¶**CAP THIS:** Watch the options flow. Someone is slowly, methodically building a portfolio of late 2026 options. Daily bids, sometimes spiking 10x. They're buying up all the long-dated volatility while it's dirt cheap.
Post your position since youre so confident
how can i profit from this?
>>61223534>>61224311>>61223534>>61224311wtf why are there are random premium spikes for the long dated puts???
BUMPNegotiations with 20 banks take ages.
>>61224498I guess they are loading up once every few days. Even all my >210 calls went up like 5000% the other day lol.
So if one were to buy a put, what would the best expiration and strike price be? I wanna get rich anon. Are we supposed to buy calls too?
>>61223534thanks for the info. some of us realized even before the "liberation day" that they've been manipulating the stock market for a while.
>>61224444Load up long puts or super cheap long dated calls near current price levels. I think long calls might be more profitable as puts are being actively bought. They are cheap as fuck. When EA was trading at 150 usd the summer 26 calls near aq price were around 20x higher. But EA has had plenty of good news and year end earnings will skyrocket, so even if deal is blocked it could have traded near 200 usd anyway by sale close and probably won't drop much. Vega up and stock at 180-200 usd -> +3 month calls at 210 usd trading at 20 usd+
>>61224583Idk, deal might get stuck in the reg loop for a while if they want to burn the premiums. I loaded up 2026 march and june calls and puts but I'm afraid they are too early. The news are piling up so we might start to hear comments from the administration. Shareholder vote date is unclear, but board said the sale should be closed by FQ27/1, meaning Q2 2026 in calendar. I'm hoping it raises attention long before. I think the deal also worries some republicans, they are just too cuckold to raise concern over the daddy trump affiliated deal. Strike, well all with longer expiry will go up when IV explodes.
>>61224551500%***
>>61224621>>61224685Battlefield 6 is probably going to be extremely profitable for them next earnings. I dont know what im talking about btwBut if the deal goes through and the saudis acquire EA then we go broke right lol
>>61224701Your theory makes sense other than the crown prince wanting to westernize Saudi so rapidly. And they have the money to throw it away buying the top. But then maybe they’re simply getting screwed for getting in bed with BRICS
>>61224551But nobody is going to be buying your bags even if they did go up
>>61224621>>61224685you mean sell naked calls? why would u buy calls if u expect the price to go down...
>>61224999I think because right now there's no volatility attached to the calls because EA stock is basically caped at $210. But if the Saudi deal falls apart then the options will shoot up in volality which means the price shoots ups even if the stock prices goes down
>>61224685All the long dated calls and puts are already expensive they are like $5
>>61225027seems kinda tarded just short it lmao
>>61225027Lmao why the fuck would you buy calls though. IV will increase but price plummeting will destroy what little value they had.
>IV is dead because sale locks in price at 210>Trump will block sale in 6-12 months >buy calls ATM with long expiry>why?Won't the price fall when the deal fails?
thank u OPrare good thread on a topic i hadn't consideredbut i don't think Saudi Arabia is going to have a problem. they've already successfully got in bed with UFC/WWE for example. the 9/11 era has faded, china is the latest big bad, and even they still have their tictok on american devices. hope i'm wrong and it works out for you.
>>61223534>jared kushnerThe deal will go through. Trump won't fuck over his jewish son in law
>>61223534All they have to do is give King Idiot a shiny gold object and he will approve the deal
>>61225072>IV will increase but price plummeting will destroy what little value they had.No they wouldnt. The sep 2026 220 calls are 30 cents right now while EA is trading at $197. 3 months ago those same calls were worth like $9 when EA was at like $150. So say if within 6 months the Saudi deal falls apart and EA drops to $170 or something the calls would probably be worth at least $5. Or EA could pump to $220 something and your 30 cent calls would be worth like $50. But OP isnt a genius who just figured this out. All of this is already priced into the option price and there's a 99% chance it won't happen
Technical anons weigh in: is OP retarded?
