However the skew measuring the cost of bearish options versus bullish ones is inverted for microstrategy while Tesla is at highs, she said.

Frankly, it shocks me anytime Silverman says Tesla isn't inverted skew. However, it does present an opportunity to bet on a skew inversion by selling expensive Tesla puts for out-of-the-money Tesla calls. Then she suggested a risk-reversal trade which involves selling Tesla $700 puts expiring in December and getting 930 calls.
