The shares of chip firm Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:AMD) are tumbling today, down 3.8% at $156.09 at last glance. The semiconductor sector has boomed behind Nvidia's (NVDA) position as a leader in the artificial intelligence (AI) space. In fact, AMD hit a record high of $227.30 on March 8. The equity's subsequent pullback was saved by its 180-day moving average, and it still sports a 6% year-to-date lead and a 37.3% year-over-year gain.

Now looks like a good time to speculate with premium. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 39% sits higher than just 16% of readings from the past year, meaning premium is affordable amid low volatility expectations.
