The Latest from NYT
|
U.S. stocks tumbled about 3 percent in afternoon trading on Thursday as investors assessed the worsening trade war with China, and President Trump clarified that he had raised tariffs on Chinese goods by a total of 145 percent since taking office.
There were other alarming signs on Thursday: In the government bond market, U.S. Treasuries started to sell off again, with the yield on 10-year Treasuries climbing to 4.37 percent, the highest since February. The technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite index dropped nearly 7 percent, with shares in Apple, Nvidia and other tech giants falling. And oil prices fell about 4 percent, trading below $63 a barrel.
Together, the signals pointed toward a mood shift since Wednesday afternoon, when the markets cheered Mr. Trump’s decision to postpone many of his tariff plans for three months.
The Trump administration appeared unmoved. “I don’t see anything unusual,” Scott Bessent, the Treasury secretary, told reporters, referring to recent market activity.
On Thursday, the White House put out a statement making it clear the 125 percent import tax on China announced on Wednesday was in addition to a 20 percent tariff Mr. Trump had already imposed on China for its role in supplying fentanyl and its precursors in the United States. He also left in place new tariffs on automobiles, steel and aluminum.
While tensions between Beijing and Washington showed no signs of easing, the European Union responded to Mr. Trump’s decision to put off implementing a hefty import tax on its goods by announcing it would also delay its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports for 90 days.
The three-month delay on most country-specific tariffs did not temper the concerns of many economists who cautioned that the full repercussions from the trade war between Washington and Beijing would not be felt for weeks.
A report released on Thursday showed that U.S. inflation eased more than expected in March, providing what economists say is likely to be only a temporary reprieve before Mr. Trump’s tariffs are expected to reignite price pressures.
The Consumer Price Index climbed 2.4 percent last month from a year earlier. That data covered a period before the majority of Mr. Trump’s tariffs — including the most recent ones on China — went into effect. And despite the reprieve for some nations, economists have been warning that the tariffs now in place will still prove costly, not only leading to slower growth but also higher inflation.
Here’s what else to know:
U.S.-China tensions: Mr. Trump suggested on Wednesday that he was waiting to hear from China’s leader, Xi Jinping, so the two could broker a deal. China has said it is willing to hold talks, but not under duress. “China wants to make a deal,” Mr. Trump said. “They just don’t know quite how to go about it.”
E.U. pause: Mr. Trump’s reversal prompted the European Union to put its new tariffs on hold in order “to give negotiations a chance,” said Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, though she warned that the tariffs would take effect if talks “are not satisfactory.”
Farmers react: The loss of China as an export market will deal a particularly hard economic blow to agricultural workers in many red states, hitting many of the voters who helped Mr. Trump win the presidential election. “If this lasts long term, we’re going to have a significant number of farmers going out of business,” said Caleb Ragland, a Kentucky farmer who is president of the American Soybean Association.
Republican nerves: Some Republican lawmakers, caught between their deep opposition to tariffs and fear of criticizing Mr. Trump, have cheered his 90-day reprieve on higher tariffs for most countries.
Relief in Asia: Stocks in Asia and Europe followed the lead of U.S. markets and rallied on Thursday. The biggest winners were Taiwan and Japan, each up more than 9 percent.

Apple Wont Build in America, Goes to India to Escape Tariffs, the Market is still All Over the Place
|
Bank of America analysts assert that while Apple could assemble iPhones in the U.S. thanks to available labor, fully shifting its highly complex global supply chain—especially the sub-assemblies like camera modules and logic boards—remains impractical and would take years to achieve. With Trump's recent 104% tariff on Chinese imports weighing on its U.S. market share and stock performance, BofA maintains a $250 price target and a Buy rating, signaling that without tariff waivers on critical components, a domestic transformation is unlikely.

Interesting Stocks Today (04/10)
|
Hi! I am an ex-prop shop equity trader. This is a daily watchlist for short-term trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed! I am targeting potentially good candidates for short-term trading; I have no opinion on them as investments. The potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, everything else is secondary.
Well, yesterday was crazy. Today I'm somewhat negatively biased because obviously this 90 day tariff pause doesn't change too much narratively in the market beyond less chaos (for now)- we still need to negotiate with every country that we plan to place tariffs on while China is still the elephant in the room and the US needs to face them down
Shorter format today, my sleep schedule has been terrible due to premarket/regular/afterhours/overnight trading.
News: [US Stock Futures Rise As Dip Buyers Emerge After Selloff](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-08/us-stock-futures-rise-as-dip-buyers-emerge-after-selloff)
[**TSLA (Tesla)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=TSLA&p=d)\-Tesla surged nearly 20% following the announcement of a 90-day delay on tariffs above 10%, relieving immediate pressure on its China-based operations. Signs of internal conflict within the White House (he called Navarro dumber than a sack of bricks lol) signal some political risk.
Overall, biased negatively today sheerly because there's been no real change in tariffs beyond the 90 day delay. Level I'm watching is 250 (far, I know), frankly don't know which way or how far the market will turn after the open today though.
https://preview.redd.it/wcgq9jd0b0ue1.png?width=1023&format=png&auto=webp&s=a645a601b2e8b7ccb9d7fb02a1a8198cac7977e1
[**AAPL (Apple)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=AAPL&p=d)\-A major potential loser if China retaliates with its own tariffs, given its reliance on Chinese manufacturing. (80% iPhone manufacturing done in China). While past trade tensions like in 2019 saw exemptions on key iPhone parts, it’s unlikely similar measures will be granted again. Overall, biased short today. We broke $200 yesterday, I kicked out of my position at $190-$195 so looking for a place to re-enter if needed
https://preview.redd.it/l527whbya0ue1.png?width=1021&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd7f988042095cfa8c07a0cd66fc9bafb566bdec
[**X (United States Steel)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=X&p=d)\-President Trump called for a new review of the U.S. Steel–Nippon Steel deal, stating a clear preference to keep the company American-owned. This entire deal is a mess. Frankly at this point, I'm only going to buy the stock if there is a clear buyer like Nippon, which is the only way I see a viable trade in this now. Keeping track of the narrative and incremental headlines is frankly a difficult way to earn money vs the tariff trades that are possible.
https://preview.redd.it/lm2yyxf1b0ue1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=c210feb15e74e4a413383b70d282fcd8b02edaa5
[**KMX (CarMax)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=KMX&p=d)\-EPS of $0.58 vs $0.65 exp on revenue of $6.00B vs $5.69B exp. Unit sales missed with 301,811 total vehicles sold vs 312,800 expected; both retail and wholesale fell below consensus. Used auto demand remains mixed, with macro headwinds impacting affordability and dealer traffic. Despite stronger earnings, volume misses suggest softness (this should be stronger due to people trying to buy cars due to tariffs). Slower unit sales hint at potential demand weakness or pricing compression

How did apple get back from that mess?
|
I’m not American + I know 0 about stocks, but I’m quite interested in this tariff topic. I just wanted to clarify a doubt that came in my mind and don’t have any friend who’s into these things to ask so I’m asking here waiting for a kind stranger.
I thought Apple stocks got destroyed last days because of the 104% tariff on China, but how is Apple getting back if the tariff on China got even higher? (I know iPhones are partially made in China)
I understand the pause on the other countries might have affected it’s going in some way, but this much?
I don’t want to offend anyone, I apologize if I did. And thank you in advance for any response.

How is that possible that every stocks have the same jump of that magnitude?
|
Can someone explain why is all the stock have the same jump today ? Who is creating that ? And why every stock affected the same way?
I understand that they were a news about a possibility of pause on tariffs but why the same reaction to every stock affected?

(04/9) - Interesting Stocks Today, China Strikes Back With Tariffs! (Again)
|
This is a daily watchlist for short-term trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed! I am targeting potentially good candidates for short-term trading; I have no opinion on them as investments. The potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, everything else is secondary.
China has retaliated.
News: [US Stock Futures Rise As Dip Buyers Emerge After Selloff](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-08/us-stock-futures-rise-as-dip-buyers-emerge-after-selloff)
[**AAPL (Apple)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=AAPL&p=d)\-China retaliates with an 84% tariff on US goods. The tariff escalation adds further pressure- Apple has flown literal planeloads of iPhones out of China but that's obviously a stop-gap measure. We've seen AAPL fall to $169, massively beyond what I could have even hoped. Still flat this but probably the #1 play if expecting a tariff reversal- the White House and Trump have signaled that tariffs are here to stay. Currently long a little from $170, but will bail if we fall back premarket/at the open.
**Related Tickers:** AVGO, QCOM, SWKS (all iPhone part manufacturers)
https://preview.redd.it/kecv7xjn5tte1.png?width=1533&format=png&auto=webp&s=c77eb9f5360a3bbb856f14c98cc465f56242b553
[**WMT (Walmart)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=WMT&p=d), [**TGT (Target)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=TGT&p=d)\-WMT scraps quarterly operating income forecast, citing Trump’s tariffs. They did cite net sales growing 3-4% this year. WMT backing away from guidance signals the "we are in danger" alarm over tariff impact on import costs and consumer demand even with net sales growing. TGT, with similar exposure, is likely to experience margin pressure in coming quarters. Margins are squeezed massively (and retailers are likely to take a loss on some goods simply because it's untenable to continue selling for a loss).
https://preview.redd.it/9t6nxeip5tte1.png?width=1020&format=png&auto=webp&s=a0522e39533a9bd6772ac148df71c9732ff61f99
[**DAL (Delta)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=DAL&p=d)\- CEO states Trump tariffs are hurting bookings, and was unable to reaffirm guidance. Forecasted Q2 EPS of $1.70–$2.30 vs. $2.23 est. Revenue to range -2% - +2% YoY vs. +1.9% est. Tariff fears hitting forward travel demand are a red flag, especially international bookings. Airlines face multiple macro pressures—tariffs, softening travel sentiment, currency exchange fluctuations, etc, overall a different set of circumstances from COVID yet as deadly.
https://preview.redd.it/2f8ig9rq5tte1.png?width=1021&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b040af20b1c426d5c6d15ba5f8981c11eb603ca
[**TLT (iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=TLT&p=d)\-Massive afterhours move as China sells U.S. Treasuries, resulting in a 5 point move afterhours. Bloomberg is also citing an unwind of popular hedge fund trade. The scale and consistency of the move suggest a structural shift, not just positioning. Treasury market dislocation is raising systemic risk signals across asset classes. I think we've hit roughly \~5% for the 20 year which is a big deal- China dumping treasuries means that yields go up but exacerbate inflation in the short term, and add to volatility.
https://preview.redd.it/owuwjh9s5tte1.png?width=1018&format=png&auto=webp&s=979ff86db08fabf507b5d3b328743d780657f15c
[**HUM (Humana)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=HUM&p=d), [**CVS (CVS Health)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CVS&p=d), [**UNH (UnitedHealth Group)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=UNH&p=d)\-Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced higher-than-expected Medicare Advantage payment rate increases for 2026. The unexpected increase in reimbursement rates is a huge tailwind for these providers, improving profit outlooks into 2026. We saw a spike in these health insurance names and subsequent selloff, interested in seeing if we make any sort of upward move today. (Addendum: Trump announced that pharma tariffs are also incoming, which may be the reason why we saw so many of these pull back).
https://preview.redd.it/enjb9bdt5tte1.png?width=1021&format=png&auto=webp&s=335a84805a943edaef2aeed74b030bc23265534a
[**VXX (Volatility Index)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=VXX&p=d)/[**UVXY (ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures ETF)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=UVXY&p=d)/[**SVIX (Short VIX)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SVIX&p=d)\-Volatility spike continues, but might be moving to shorting calls rather than shorting shares due to short locate issues. I'm interested in anything where VIX is above 60-65.
https://preview.redd.it/kkt6gbku5tte1.png?width=1017&format=png&auto=webp&s=650d28e7b1e3904fbb8103cf12beab1264ca260c

Interesting Stocks Today (04/8) - Minor Market Bounce!
|
Hi! I am an ex-prop shop equity trader. This is a daily watchlist for short-term trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed! I am targeting potentially good candidates for short-term trading; I have no opinion on them as investments. The potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, everything else is secondary.
We've had a minor bounce today from the multiple country individual panics on Monday, so today is mainly focused on finding stocks that have bounced that haven't bounced too strongly yet compared to others (mainly due to the exposure to tariffs they have compared to other companies).
Tickers are ordered from most risk and exposure to tariffs to least. **The next big catalyst I'm waiting for is an actual tariff response with numbers from China (because they haven't given firm numbers beyond vowing retaliation)**
News: [US Stock Futures Rise As Dip Buyers Emerge After Selloff](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-08/us-stock-futures-rise-as-dip-buyers-emerge-after-selloff)
[**BABA (BABA)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=BABA&p=d)/JD/FXI/other Chinese companies- China hasn't budged on the tariffs at all and signaled that they are going to "fight until the end" after Trump threatens 50% additional tariffs.
[**AAPL (Apple)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=AAPL&p=d)\- Mainly looking at this due to AAPL being the most exposed of the MAG7 due to iPhones accounting for \~50% of the company's revenue, we're 20% down from pre-tariff announcements, arguably this is one of my favorite candidates once we DO resolve tariffs to turn.
[**CAT (Caterpillar)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CAT&p=d)/[**SWK (Stanley Black & Decker)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SWK&p=d)\- Industry overlap in tools/equipment and having major manufacturing in China, CAT has far more exposure in China and is also arguably a more defensive stock despite being in line with housing/other infrastructure spending. (but also note that we're only 10% down from pre-tariff prices)
[**NVDA (NVIDIA)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=NVDA&p=d)\- Something that surprised me was the strength of NVDA selling off (I know that input costs will be the reason for inevitable rise in costs, despite Taiwanese chips being exempt from tariffs). Overall am still long from OVERNIGHT on Sunday night but still interested in any levels below $100 if we sell off today (but that's dependent on what we do at the time).
[**VXX (ProShares VIX)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=VXX&p=d)\- VXX spiked to 85 yesterday premarket, wasn't able to really short at a meaningful price or size so will stay away unless we have more volatility from China come in. China is the next "catalyst" I'm waiting on.
[**MSTR (MicroStrategy)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=MSTR&p=d)\- (This is unrelated to tariffs overall) The underlying holdings are starting to get close to the cost basis they have- their average cost is around $67.5K, and it's currently trading at $80K- at that point we may see something trade closer to NAV. (Currently at 1.70x)

Markets are Crashing - Here are the Safest MAG7 Stocks to Buy According to Their Valuations
|
Of course with the tariffs, no equities are 100% safe but the current environment also creates a buying opportunity. I used to be an investment banking analyst and wanted to provide some perspective with numbers on which of the MAG7 stocks are trading at fair valuations.
The pictured chart is a trading comps analysis of key growth and profitability metrics, EBITDA multiples, and how much of a discount today's current multiples are to the average of the past 1, 2, 5 years.
**Trading comps are a simple analysis but if it's new to you, here's how to look at it:**
* EV / EBITDA multiples
* Low = cheaper (green)
* High = more expensive (red)
* Premium (Discount) to Historical Multiples
* More negative (green) = trading at a discount vs historical multiples meaning the companies used to be trading at higher multiples
* Less negative or positive (red) = trading at a premium meaning the companies used to be trading at lower multiples
**Key takeaways as of 4/7/25 1:30PM EST trading numbers:**
1. **NVIDIA** is trading pretty fairly considering it has the highest growth and margins while trading at the same 2026 EBITDA multiple (14.2x) of Microsoft (14.5x)
2. **Alphabet and META** are also solid buys considering similar growth, margins, and multiples
3. **Tesla** is extremely overpriced considering decent growth but low margins
To be clear, I know there are a lot of macro factors that mean things can change very quickly and the recent tariffs are more harmful to some of these companies than others.
So point of this post is not to say "buy these stocks because these numbers say so" because there's so much more to investing than just valuation. Instead, given all the things happening in the markets, I wanted to provide one tool for your potential buying decisions as you do your own analysis.
Hope this helps!

Interesting Stocks Today (04/7)
|
Hi! I am an ex-prop shop equity trader. This is a daily watchlist for short-term trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed! I am targeting potentially good candidates for short-term trading; I have no opinion on them as investments. The potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, everything else is secondary.
D**oing the short formatting today because all of you know what the news is,** it's mainly about stock selection/risk tolerance today. I think we might have a minor bounce today, but likely going to bail out of all positions if we break the lows in the markets today.
Ordered the tickers from least riskiest to MOST. I think trading (shorting) expecting FURTHER selloffs is essentially betting on outlier moves at this point, so I am (barely) bullish. We may have more tariff announcements on China from Trump, but watch Trump's social media accounts for any marginally positive headlines based on if he has calls with leaders from other countries.
[**BRK (Berkshire Hathaway)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=BRK&p=d)\- Overall less vol than SPY for (close to) equivalent performance.
[**SPY (SPDR S&P 500 ETF)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SPY&p=d) / [**DIA (SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=DIA&p=d) / [**QQQ (Invesco QQQ Trust)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=QQQ&p=d)\- The long market ETF trade, of all the bounce plays this is the least risky and doesn't concentrate your money in a single play.
[**F (Ford)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=F&p=d) / [**STLA (Stellantis)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=STLA&p=d) / [**GM (General Motors)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=GM&p=d) / [**CAT (Caterpillar)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CAT&p=d)\- Overall screwed mainly due to the massive tariff exposure they have, not too interested in investing in any of these hoping for a change on tariffs.
[**COIN (Coinbase)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=COIN&p=d)\- Also facing a major downturn mainly due to the selloff in BTC, Cathie Woods bought in but that's not too meaningful. Interested in the $137.50 level.
[**AAPL (Apple)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=AAPL&p=d)\- Mainly looking at this due to AAPL being the most exposed of the MAG7 due to iPhones, interested in what it does after if it breaks $180.
[**TSLA (Tesla)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=TSLA&p=d)\- Dan Ives (a historically bullish analyst) has slashed his price target to $315 (from $550), calling it a "political symbol" and says that the "brand crisis tornado has turned into a F5 tornado". Overall still consider this uninvestible.
[**SVIX (Short VIX 1X ETF)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SVIX&p=d) / **(short** [**VXX**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=VXX&p=d)**)**\- The short VIX trade- SVIX isn't meant to be held for longer than one day (it's an inverse VIX futures ETF), VXX is a better choice if you choose to short vol (but still not meant to be held for more than a few weeks). This is not for beginners, please understand what "backwardation", "inverse futures ETF", and what happened in XIV in 2018 before you trade this.
**Earnings today:** LEVI, PLAY

What to Buy?
|
With the current stock market conditions, what are some of the best stock to invest in right now for long term growth? I obviously have my eyes set on Apple, Google, Tesla, Nvidia, and Amazon, but still looking for some other really solid companies. I actually have a few shares of Reddit, which has done really good, so I am thinking I'm going to purchase more of that. Also looking at Walmart. Anything I am missing for right now? I'm not purchasing Netflix simply because of the share price. I'd like the best bang for my buck right now which is about $4,500.
Edit: I'm 32 and looking for long term growth.

Individual holdings versus etfs
|
Curious what everyone is doing with their individual holdings with the current environment? I know people say DCA on the way down, but is anyone getting out of individual holdings and moving to a safer area? Specifically I have long term holdings (nvda, Apple, Amazon, etc.) and are down from all time highs a few weeks ago but still in the green.
Does it make sense to take the profits I still have now and DCA into like a VOO or VTI on the way down? Or are people just holding and hoping it bounces back?

Warren Buffet not only sitting on $330B cash but he cashed out $80B from Apple last year.
|
Hello everyone, as a young lad myself who is in their 20s, I always used to hear that how legendary Warren Buffet is. How well he plays his cards. But this is the first time I am witnessing it happening right in front of me in real time where I can myself witness too that how advance looking he is and how much of a LEGEND he is.
Seriously, I am very disappointed in myself for not paying attention to this legend and listening to his advices through his actions. By no means he is perfect, but overall Warren Buffet always comes out as winner himself and that also very consistently.
Respect to this player that how well he is doing even at his age. But as a young lad I have so much to learn from him.
From this recent crash he is going to so many good investments and he got all that dry powder.

Did a Big Hedge Fund Just Blow Up? $200M Losses Seem Likely

Who's buying calls for the weekend? 🤑
|
Alr regards, who's betting on Calls here?
Singapore & Indonesia just announced they won't be retaliating on Tariffs.
Vietnam representative meeting on White House this weekend to talk on tariffs.
This will affect markets a lot if Vietnam agrees on 0 tariffs this weekend. It will save APPL and Nike from a lot of pain as well. Basically other countries will follow as well.
I have posted my positions.

Interesting Stocks Today (04/4) - China Strikes Back
|
Hi! I am an ex-prop shop equity trader. This is a daily watchlist for short-term trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed! I am targeting potentially good candidates for short-term trading; I have no opinion on them as investments. The potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, everything else is secondary.
**China announced a 34% tariff on the US. The US may retaliate. "Reciprocal" tariffs can result in a positive feedback loop of the tariff percentage.**
News: [China Imposes 34 Tariffs On All Us Imports As Retaliation](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-04/china-imposes-34-tariffs-on-all-us-imports-as-retaliation)
**AVGO, NXPI, LRCX, AMAT- (ALL OF THESE COMPANIES HAVE 20%+ OF THEIR SALES COME FROM CHINA)**\- China imposing a 34% tariff on US imports escalates trade tensions and impacts supply chains, all of which have significant exposure to China. Overall, most are interested in NVDA at $95/$90 and possibly INTC at $20 if we don't spike off the open.
https://preview.redd.it/knjb3lbcitse1.png?width=1009&format=png&auto=webp&s=11e1184c234d34f7a135571a8232bf10e6ee1d62
[**AAPL (Apple)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=AAPL&p=d)\- AAPL broke $200 premarket following the announcement. Approximately 20% of AAPL revenue comes from China. Interested mainly if it breaks $190 intraday. AAPL relies heavily on China for manufacturing, with over 90% of its production based there. The newly imposed tariffs are expected to increase AAPL’s annual costs by $8.5B. Main risks involve increased production costs, potential price hikes for consumers, and a possible decline in sales volume. Additionally, further escalation in trade tensions could lead to more severe supply chain disruptions. AAPL is clearly the biggest MAG7 loser of the tariffs
https://preview.redd.it/ydeuzzjeitse1.png?width=1540&format=png&auto=webp&s=e49f1a506cc948bf35b750a2a4229c69d86b8308
[**VXX (VIX Short-Term Futures ETN)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=VXX&p=d)\- I still don't think we've peaked (as I mentioned yesterday). We've spiked to \~$40 on the VIX ($75 on VXX). I'm interested in seeing how the US will respond to China tariffs before making any significant trades. The risk in the VXX short is based on overnight headlines from China announcing more tariffs (which already happened), and now, waiting for the US to retaliate. Fun.
https://preview.redd.it/789axerfitse1.png?width=1020&format=png&auto=webp&s=0f3fa8a64ce8d78a728197f391d6de7b28d56a11
[**BABA (Alibaba)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=BABA&p=d)**,** [**FXI (China Large-Cap ETF)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=FXI&p=d)**,** [**YINN (China Bull 3X Shares)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=YINN&p=d)**,** [**YANG (China Bear 3X Shares)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=YANG&p=d)**,** [**JD (JD.com)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=JD&p=d)\- China announced retaliatory tariffs of 34% on all U.S. imports due to the announced tariffs. China-related stocks are selling off due to expectations of retaliation from the US. Also currently just a "watch", everything hinges on if the US backs off from tariffs or if we escalate. Interested in BABA if it hits $100.

Apple hasn’t innovated anything in the past 5 years
|
None of the new iPhones have anything special to grab user’s attention anymore. The Apple Watch and AirPods are all basically the same thing. I don’t see anything much in the future for Apple to grow anywhere near the same it has in the past 15 years. Even Warren buffet is beginning to sell some shares slowly. Does anyone have a bull case as to why Apple will outperform the market over the next 10 years.

S&P 500, Nasdaq tank, Dow drops over 1,400 points as Trump's tariffs rip through markets worldwide
|
[Stocks tanked on Thursday morning](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/live/stock-market-today-sp-500-nasdaq-tank-dow-drops-over-1400-points-as-trumps-tariffs-rip-through-markets-worldwide-133046524.html) in reaction to President Trump's broad reciprocal tariff announcement, sparking fears of a looming recision amid a full-blown trade war.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite ([\^IXIC](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EIXIC)) plummeted more than 4% while the S&P 500 ([\^GSPC](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EGSPC)) tanked 3.7%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ([\^DJI](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EDJI)) tumbled nearly 3% — over 1,100 points.
From retail to Big Tech, equities across the board tumbled. Megacap giants like Apple ([AAPL](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL)) sank more than 7% over [concerns of a disruption](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/apple-shares-slide-tariffs-threaten-210739852.html) to supply chains in China, the source of key iPhone components. Nvidia ([NVDA](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/NVDA)) and other chip stocks [also declined](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/nvidia-tsmc-chip-stocks-fall-after-trump-announces-sweeping-reciprocal-tariffs-215957858.html) amid similar concerns.

Please spare me the low effort CuLT stOcK bs and answer it genuinely. Can anyone explain how Tesla is up after its horrible sales numbers and everything else that’s going on including tariffs and brand image issues? Is there any actual manipulation going on that can be proven?

Interesting Stocks Today (04/3) - Liberation Day
|
Hi! I am an ex-prop shop equity trader. This is a daily watchlist for short-term trading: I might trade all/none of the stocks listed, and even stocks not listed! I am targeting potentially good candidates for short-term trading; I have no opinion on them as investments. The potential of the stock moving today is what makes it interesting, everything else is secondary.
Stay agile, and be on the lookout for tariff news from Beijing.
News: [Trump's Tariff Announcement](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/live-blog/2025-04-02/trump-s-tariff-announcement)
[**AAPL (Apple)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=AAPL&p=d)\- 34% tariff on Chinese imports, adding to existing duties, brings the total to 54% effective April 9. AAPL relies heavily on Chinese manufacturing, and these tariffs are expected to lead to increased production costs, which will be passed on to consumers through higher prices. Watching $200, but likely the stock I'm going to play if there's any chance of a bounce (in addition to NVDA). These tariffs will result in retaliatory measures from China, further impacting Apple's supply chain and profitability. Additionally, prolonged tariffs could lower consumer demand due to higher prices. Related Tickers: AVGO, SWKS, TSM, QCOM.
https://preview.redd.it/49spz0rldmse1.png?width=1017&format=png&auto=webp&s=6f64373c7e8bd5a60030b88823c66e9354c27574
[**CRWV (CoreWeave)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=CRWV&p=d)\- Google is reportedly in advanced discussions to rent Nvidia's Blackwell AI servers from CoreWeave. This potential partnership is huge because it means that CRWV has a little more diversification in their revenue stream (alleviating a huge risk to the company). It's hard, this has risen so much from the IPO but we're back at pre-tariff and pre-announcement prices- have a small long position but likely will exit due to all the craziness today and need to focus on the bigger fish. Despite Taiwanese chips not being tariffed, CRWV will likely benefit due to the rising costs of chips- it pushes companies to be more incentivized to rent for the short term.
https://preview.redd.it/29i57yvsdmse1.png?width=1524&format=png&auto=webp&s=dbd68618f5cf96b46c2325e6b14ff787ccc40504
[**RH (Restoration Hardware)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=RH&p=d)\- Reported EPS of $1.58 vs $1.92 expected. Revenue of $812M vs $829M. The company issued guidance for the current fiscal year, projecting revenue growth of 10% to 13%, an adjusted operating margin between 14% and 15%, and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20% to 21%. Management highlighted concerns over a higher-risk business environment due to tariffs, market volatility, and inflation risks, noting that RH has been operating in the "worst housing market in almost 50 years." Interested at $150, but won't focus on this today vs AAPL or other Mag7 names that are selling off.
https://preview.redd.it/hakavz1vdmse1.png?width=1528&format=png&auto=webp&s=652b31ff9c21aad705a4e6ebda02d2e3540a0a37
[**VXX (VIX Short-Term Futures ETN)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=VXX&p=d)\- The recent spike in volatility attributed to "Liberation Day" saw a massive VIX spike along with everything else selling off. Interested in seeing what we do but I doubt today will be the day I take a short position- volatility is coming and is not as likely to be the quick one-day spikes we've seen in the past. We may see additional tariffs from China in retaliation.
https://preview.redd.it/yer2664ydmse1.png?width=1015&format=png&auto=webp&s=93681fadd3cb370ce5d8f432a114cf1c016fa549
[**NKE (Nike)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=NKE&p=d)\- Nike is one of the biggest losers due to tariffs, as a substantial portion of its manufacturing is based in Southeast Asian countries facing high tariff rates. Notably, Nike produces nearly 50% of its footwear and 30% of its apparel in Vietnam. Currently long, but will bail if we break new lows (\~$55.20). Prolonged tariffs lead to higher consumer prices, and NKE has cited lowered demand/guidance for its goods due to competitors.
https://preview.redd.it/pcyb3hkzdmse1.png?width=1522&format=png&auto=webp&s=57ea7fba436bbe9e17297108858e91681f41815c
[**NVDA (NVIDIA)**](https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=NVDA&p=d)\- NVIDIA's exposure to the recent tariff announcements appears limited, as the 32% levy on imports from Taiwan. The White House clarified that semis are exempt from these tariffs, which provides a buffer for NVIDIA's core business and limits downside risk from the new trade measures. We still saw a 6% move post-tariff announcement.

Trump’s Tariff Tsunami: Global Markets in Freefall as Trade War Fears Resurface
| ERROR: type should be string, got "https://preview.redd.it/pifeh2qj6lse1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b2541e11df2fb781d456633587872433690f62f\n\nWell, here we go again. Trump just dropped a massive tariff plan, and the market is in full panic mode. A 10% baseline tariff across the board, plus brutal rates on China (54% effective!), the EU (20%), Vietnam (46%), and Taiwan (32%). The result? Dow futures tanked nearly 1,000 points, the S&P 500 is down big, and tech stocks are getting destroyed. Apple and Tesla? Down 7%. Nvidia? -5%. Even retailers like Dollar Tree and Gap are getting hammered.\n\nIf this feels like a rerun of 2018-2019, that’s because it basically is—but worse. Back then, the trade war rattled markets, hurt supply chains, and slowed global growth. Now? We’re already dealing with sticky inflation and a shaky economy. Traders were hoping for some stability, but instead, they got another wildcard move. (trolling a bit, The market will bounce back sooner or later!)\n\nThe real gut punch is China’s 54% tariff rate. That’s not a slap on the wrist—it’s a full-blown economic war. European stocks are taking a hit too, especially companies like Adidas (-8.6%) and Volvo Cars (-9%). The global reaction is clear: this isn’t business as usual; this is escalation.\n\nNow the big question: what’s next? If China and the EU retaliate, things could get uglier fast. The market hates uncertainty, and this is serving it up on a silver platter.\n\nAre we looking at another 2019-style rollercoaster, or is this just an overreaction? Buckle up—things are about to get wild. What’s your take?\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/ri09k1pa7lse1.png?width=989&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab62f1f7f855f137b6362632780299e0a2eadbad\n\nhttps://preview.redd.it/5dv061xg7lse1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=cd805cc69613b88777c5c7c67e3451eef797d4d9\n\n"

Can someone explain this? - VUAG jumps to 107.40 in Apple stock from time periods 3M and later. But disappears when looking at 1M and less. Weird April fools prank? Not on other stock tracker software online I don't think.

Week Recap: The S&P 500 broke its 4-week losing streak. Will a new rally start? Mar. 17, 2025 - Mar. 22, 2025
|
First of all, I don’t want to be misunderstood. This heat map is weekly that it reflects closing prices from Mar. 14 to Mar. 21. This week,
🔷 Apple gained 2% after dropping more than 10% in the previous week.
🔷 AppLovin surged over 7% and leading the Nasdaq100.
🔷 Incyte ended the week down 8.5%. The worst performer in the S&P 500.
Overall, this week was positive.
Mar. 14, 2025 Closes,
🔷 S&P500: 5,638.94
🔷 Nasdaq: 17,754.09
🔷 DJI: 41,488.19
Mar. 21, 2025 Closes,
🔷 S&P500: 5,667.56 (+0.50%)
🔷 Nasdaq: 17,784.05 (+0.16%)
🔷 DJI: 41,985.35 (+1.19%)
As I mentioned in the title, The S&P 500 broke its 4-week losing streak. Let's look at the numbers:
Feb. 7 close at 6,025.99 - Feb. 14 close at 6,114.63 🟢
Feb. 14 close at 6,114.63 - Feb. 21 close at 6,013.13 🔴
Feb. 21 close at 6,013.13 - Feb. 28 close at 5,954.50 🔴
Feb. 28 close at 5,954.50 - Mar. 7 close at 5,770.20 🔴
Mar. 7 close at 5,770.20 - Mar. 14 close at 5,638.94 🔴
Mar. 14 close at 5,638.94 - Mar. 21 close at 5,667.56 🟢
Day-by-Day Standouts;
Monday: The previous Friday, the government shutdown reduced fears. And then, the stock market was jumped 2%. In the weekend, Scott Bessent said "I’ve been in the investment business for 35 years, and I can tell you that corrections are healthy. They’re normal.". As a result, the futures market opened negative, but the day closed in positive territory. 🟢
Tuesday: After 2-day winning streak, the stock market opened lower. Concerns over Powell’s upcoming remarks on Wednesday led to larger than expected losses. 🔴
Wednesday: The Fed kept rates steady as expected and signaled continued monitoring of key economic data. The stock market reacted positively. 🟢
Tuesday: A quiet day with slight losses 🔴
Friday: After a calm Thursday, President Trump's remarks on tariffs and the Fed's rate cut. Additionally, the third Friday of each month is Triple Witching Day which typically carries negative expectations. Despite early losses, the stock market recovered and closed slightly positive. 🟢
The S&P 500 hit 6,147 on February 19, 2025, and then hit the lowest level at 5,504.65 on March, 13. This week, it closed 5,638.94. On Monday, Wednesday, and Tuesday the index tested the 200-day EMA, but it remains below. A breakout above this level could signal an uptrend. Meanwhile, 10-year bonds continue their downtrend. I’ve completed my purchases and focused on the long term.
How was your week? Are you optimistic or feeling a bit depressed? What do you think for previous and next week?

How long can Peloton survive?
|
I sold my Peloton today, sadly I can't justify the monthly sub. When I helped move the bike into the buyers car I noticed the whole frame was rusty but hidden by the black paint. It was a relief to get rid of it to be honest, seems an overpriced bike if it rusts that quickly.
From a personal perspective I also found it very risky to keep if the business goes under.. it would be a useless bike and everything is operated from Pelotons infrastructure.
My question is since they are making a loss of $92M (AFAIK) how do they continue to survive for so long? I thought the days of unprofitable tech companies were over? Apple fitness+ sub is just as good and only costs $10

How to Profit from a Trade War: Short Brown-Foreman!
|
Normally, I don’t advocate for shorting. But I’m seeing something develop in the market that’s not being widely reported. And investing is all about finding an edge and exploiting it.
**Thesis:**
For several weeks, I've been inquiring about local sentiment regarding a potential trade war. Yes, the Wall Street Journal has published a few articles in this regard, but few in the US—especially the South—are taking this threat seriously as most Americans are still regurgitating the tired idea that this is just a “negotiating tactic.” (I live 30 minutes from Lynchburg)
So what? The damage has already been done. Here’s how.
https://preview.redd.it/39gx6ysnecpe1.png?width=1304&format=png&auto=webp&s=8dac9d78ffc0a013b3875013970a6187980e5a45
https://preview.redd.it/owjyv4bsfcpe1.jpg?width=507&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abe3b20dd5607985817c33183bc5219c8e605b9a
[](https://preview.redd.it/how-to-profit-from-a-trade-war-short-brown-forman-v0-h9mzvsn1m9pe1.png?width=1304&format=png&auto=webp&s=150c0348acb9057b5e988761d39a9dfaf0e2ddea)
As you can see, money is already flowing out of US equities and into Europe. This is not a "temporary" trend. And we can reasonably predict this by the chatter on the sub. Take a look.....
https://preview.redd.it/0k364a3fgcpe1.png?width=1010&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6ec532c24f5136b35798edabe66593a23748aca
https://preview.redd.it/4hsnblsngcpe1.png?width=996&format=png&auto=webp&s=6b83e840a54ada722dae384cc9d236b02a20e7e7
https://preview.redd.it/m36hki7pgcpe1.png?width=994&format=png&auto=webp&s=f65150334d0187bf7420b57f15a7b8b395fa86e8
This community only has 3.5M members, and Canada only has 40M total citizens. Go check out the comments and see for yourself. Americans have no idea what's coming. FYI Here's a personal note someone sent me last night:
Oh hey, neighbor! You had a question about how serious Canadians are about this boycott, and I figured I’d answer it here instead of getting into a debate one the thread.
So, how serious is it? It’s pretty serious. I travel all over Canada for work—14 weeks a year—so I get a pretty good read on the country. And let me tell you, from the big cities to the small towns, this boycott is real. It’s not just some online outrage thing—it’s showing up in actual shopping carts.
First, the liquor stores pulled all U.S. products. Which, let’s face it, is a big deal. Canadians love their booze. We’re a nation that voluntarily drinks beer in -40°C weather, so if we’re giving up something, it matters. But it didn’t stop there. Grocery stores started tagging 100% Canadian products, and now people are checking labels like their groceries are trying to catfish them. “Oh, this rice looks innocent, but wait a second… U.S. import? NOT TODAY, CAPITALISM!”
And it’s not just in the big cities. My dad lives on a tiny fishing island on the east coast—population: a couple thousand and a moose that occasionally walks into town. They have one grocery store. And even there, if there isn’t a non-U.S. alternative, people would rather just go without. These are working-class folks, the kind of place where you used to see Trump flags on trucks. Not anymore. The flags disappeared faster than a campaign promise after election day.
But look, this isn’t just about tariffs. Canadians are used to getting the short end of the stick on trade deals. No, this is about something bigger. It’s about being told, very explicitly, that our country, our people, our values—none of it matters. That we’re just some real estate listing waiting to be scooped up.
And Canadians? We might be polite, but we’re not dumb. We see what’s happening. And if the choice is between keeping our dignity and buying American, well… I hope the US enjoys the boycotted bourbon because we’re stocking up on literally anything else.
**Takeaway:**
Take a look at what's being said, because it's clear Canadians have a plan to starve the US of every tourism dollar they can. They're canceling trips. Boycotting groceries. And the biggy, they aren't touching Kentucky bourbons or Tennessee whiskey. The same goes for Europe. Even if the tariffs are lifted, no one is going to buy American booze for at least 4 years.
And who stands to lose the most?
Brown-Forman. Take a look at their corporate summary:
*Brown-Forman Corporation manufactures, distills, bottles, imports, exports, markets, and sells a range of beverage alcohol products. Its brands include Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey, Gentleman Jack Rare Tennessee Whiskey, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Fire, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Apple, Jack Daniel's Bonded Tennessee Whiskey, Old Forester Whiskey Row Series, Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select, Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, Jack Daniel's Tennessee Rye, Old Forester Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey, Jack Daniel’s Winter Jack, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Bourbon, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked, Fords Gin, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Rye Whiskey, Slane Irish Whiskey, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Wheat Whiskey, Coopers' Craft Kentucky Bourbon, Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey, The GlenDronach, el Jimador and Part Time Rangers RTDs. The Company's brands are sold in more than 170 countries worldwide.*
But here's something else you probably don't know. Brown-Forman has been in decline ever since the GLP-1s hit the market. And the more GLP-1s that are out there, the less and less hard liquor people are going to drink—and that's not even counting BOYCOTTS.
**Bottomline:**
The whole world knows Brown-Forman's jugular runs through the heart of the Deep South where Trump won by a landslide. And now the world aims to punish the very voters who helped put him in the White House. It doesn't matter how long the actual "Trade War" lasts, people will always have a bad taste in their mouths for American hard liquor. And republicans should know this, because they crushed Budweiser for running LGBTQIA commercials during Pride Month. And guess what? Europe and Canada are a helluva lot bigger markets than the "Red Wave."
So to all you "neighbors," if you want play war, here's how!
https://preview.redd.it/y21t8nv9hcpe1.png?width=2164&format=png&auto=webp&s=36619c57e6ecafaf8afb9fac1b0493f51d7b1b70
Slowly begin to acquire the September PUTS at the $35 strike on BF/B. You want BF/B because it's more volatile than BF/A. If you choose to make this trade, always buy your puts on green days when the market it going up. Because what little recovery Brown-Forman may be experience presently, it doesn't matter. They have no idea what's about to hit them, and it's going to take a quarter or two to show up. But sooner or later, this stock is going to get crushed!
Happy Shorting!

Week Recap: Is the worst behind us? Mar. 10, 2025 - Mar. 14, 2025
|
First of all, I don’t want to be misunderstood. This heat map is weekly that it reflects closing prices from Mar. 7 to Mar. 14. This week,
🔷 Apple dropped more than 10%.
🔷 Nvidia surged nearly 8%.
🔷 Intel had a strong performance after announcing a new CEO and gaining over 16% in a week.
Overall, this week was negative.
Mar. 7, 2025 Closes,
🔷 S&P500: 5,770.20
🔷 Nasdaq: 18,196.22
🔷 DJI: 42,801.72
Mar. 14, 2025 Closes,
🔷 S&P500: 5,638.94 (-2.27%)
🔷 Nasdaq: 17,754.09 (-2.37%)
🔷 DJI: 41,488.19 (-3.16%)
Day-by-Day Standouts;
Monday: Selling pressure was extremely strong. The Nasdaq dropped 727 points. It's biggest single-day decline since COVID crash on Mar. 16, 2020. 🔴
Tuesday: A quiet day. The stock market awaited key data releases on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. But, it's slightly negative. 🔴
Wednesday: CPI was released. The monthly estimate was 0.3%, but it came to 0.2%. The yearly estimate was 2.9%, but it dropped to 2.8%. This was perfect for stock market, because it's increased expectations of a rate cut. As a result, stock markets are surged more than 1%. 🟢
Tuesday: After CPI, PPI also came in below estimates. Core PPI turned negative (-0.1%) and the yearly dropped from 3.6% to 3.4%. However, tariff concerns created pressure and then the stock market dropped 2%. 🔴
Friday: The government shutdown reduced fears. The stock market jumped 2% to close the week on a strong. 🟢
S&P500 hit 6147 on February 19, 2025, but has now dropped to 5,638.94. The lowest level at this week was 5,504.65. That means, the index dropped slight more than 10%. S&P500 is below the 200-day EMA.
If we can get 2 day consecutive positive close, some of money from other assets like gold may join the game into the stock market. For now, economic data supports the stock market, but we shouldn't forget that President Trump’s is more important than all the data and technical indicators.
How was your week? Are you optimistic or feeling a bit depressed? What do you think for previous and next week?

The dire situation of the market
|
Many stocks in the market are significantly overvalued—Tesla, Apple, Costco, Palantir, and much of the FMCG and pharmaceutical sectors, considering their sluggish growth. Even Nvidia could see its valuation tumble if China or AMD develop viable alternatives.
Market crashes don’t worry me; they’re necessary and often present great buying opportunities. What truly concerns me is the long-term effect of excess liquidity. Inflation is brewing beneath the surface, and we’ll see its full impact in the years ahead. Over time, the velocity of money has declined while the money supply has surged, artificially propping up asset prices. My real fear isn’t a crash—it’s that inflation-adjusted returns will be zilch.
Bonds are effectively useless. Stocks are outrageously priced, making it difficult to generate meaningful returns. This isn’t a market for investors—it’s a market for those looking to cash out. Genuine opportunities are scarce.
If inflation accelerates, cash will erode, bonds will remain dead weight, and overpriced stocks will have no room for growth. In the end, nobody wins. After years of zero interest rates and relentless quantitative easing, my biggest concern is that when the real downturn hits, the Fed will have little ammunition left to respond.

Why is the term 'correction' used when things go down?
|
It feels like self-pity to justify you made a bad move or you lost a good chunk of money. No, there is no 'correction' in stock prices because there is no such thing as a correct price. If a stock losing value is called a 'correction', then a stock gaining value is a 'mistake', but surprise, no one calls it a 'mistake'. Why are there no upside corrections? Be realist, things are going bad and stocks are going down. No stock is being 'corrected', things are shitty today and they will probably keep going as such for quite a time.
It is said that the market corrects itself, but the real meaning is that the market is always correct, because supply and demand and more often than not determined by subjective factors. To me, buying anything that has an Apple on its back is a stupid idea, but others throw a thousand bucks to buy a new fancy phone each year. To me, Apple has a crazy market cap, but others think it could even be bigger. I am neither right nor wrong, I have my opinions and I reflect them in the market with my purchasing decisions.
Same logic applies with stocks. People buy and sell, and fundamentals have little impact. The only fundamentals that matter is the level of government interference in the market. If you fuck it up, things certainly will go worse, and that's what is happening now. Speaking of 'correction' implies mending something that is wrong, but in a market driven by subjective decisions, nothing is right or wrong.
TL;DR: things are going shitty, SP500 is not 'correcting' anything. If anything, Trump is fucking it up with a Russian roulette of tariffs that come and go in a matter of hours.

Best Options for Scalping
|
I’ve been doing options for a while now, and did really well with Nvidia, Apple, hims, etc. I was trying to branch out so I moved to SPY. It’s been 3 weeks now and I have been obliterated. I tried 0DTE, weekly, monthly, all of the strategies such as iron condors, iron butterflies, spreads, you name it I’ve tried it. I love scalping but I also like having some longer dated options so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I usually don’t spend more than a hundred for 0DTE contracts(but I’ll buy maybe 4 or 5 at a time) and a few thousand for longer dated just to give an idea of my budget.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks

I’m using Webull. I had 363 Apple share and and as you can see the picture I used 300 share to sell covered call. My question is can I sell the rest of the 63 share which are not tied to any option? Will it cause any problem? Picture for reference.

Intel $INTC ($22.08): (+8% Surge) Options Flow Analysis
|
Intel had a great day yesterday. Surging 8% in a single trading session. The rest of the sector had only made 3% gains based on the same U.S - China trade talk news.
Lets take a deeper look.
Intel has been struggling for years. They've lost market share to AMD, missed the AI boom. The company that once dominated computing has been left behind by faster, more efficient competitors.
Intel got a new CEO to fix the mess. There's talk of potential partnership with TSMC etc
None of that justifies a 8% single day move on trade talk "hopes."
Intel's fundamental problems are still there if you really think about it. Apple is still ending Intel chip support completely next year. Recent earnings have been disappointing.
Lets take a look at the data.
Price action shows bullish breakout, but options positioning suggests this wasn't anticipated by smart money.
Options Flow Analysis:
* June 6 flow: No significant bullish pre-positioning detected
* Call activity: Mostly defensive, no large institutional sweeps
* Put flow: Heavy deep OTM put volume (suggests hedging, not directional betting)
* IV behavior: Neutral response despite +7.8% move
When stocks make big moves WITHOUT corresponding options flow, it's often retail sentiment driven rather than institutional accumulation
This feels like classic market overreaction. The move was driven by hope and optimism rather than concrete business improvements.
What I'm Watching
Key resistance: $22.50-$22.80 This is where Intel needs to break for any sustained uptrend.
Support: $21.00 Where I expect it to retrace if resistance holds
The new CEO has long term potential, but this 8% jump on trade hopes feels excessive for a company still working through fundamental challenges.
Expecting some pull back or consolidation unless Intel can prove this isn't just headline driven euphoria.
**Not Financial Advice. Do your own DD.**

Iron Condor for a conservative investor in a volatile market
|
I was sitting for the longest time on the fence selling something other than covered call options. Today was my first iron condor options sold. I sold AAPL 187.5/190/212.5/215 for June 6th expiry. I paid more than half of my profit to commission. I took a very conservative approach, picked the ones that are have a very low (~.10) delta, and arranged it in a way to hopefully all of them become OTM by the 6 June. I am looking to expand my iron condor strategy to SPY. I picked appl because I was following it more than other stocks. What are your recommendations for tipping my toes into iron condor at this moment in time? The IV and VIX are suggesting against this strategy?

I'm Picking Up Google (GOOG) Ahead of Apple's WWDC — Big AI News Incoming
| ERROR: type should be string, got "https://preview.redd.it/lv1hx64vz74f1.png?width=1381&format=png&auto=webp&s=8a882c78f93e16ebda3d7f12ac612c6a0e2ddda8\n\nI'm buying Google stock ahead of Apple's WWDC on June 9, betting there's a big AI announcement coming.\n\nGoogle looks undervalued right now, about 17% off its recent highs despite posting strong earnings growth (+36% YoY). With a relatively cheap P/E of around 19, it feels like a good time to step in.\n\nThe real kicker: there's credible buzz that Apple might announce a partnership integrating Google's Gemini AI into iOS. Even Google's CEO Sundar Pichai has hinted at something big potentially coming by mid-2025. If true, that could drive Google shares sharply higher.\n\nI'm planning to enter around $168–$172, targeting roughly $190 if the announcement hits. If nothing happens or the rumor fizzles, I'll limit my downside and exit if shares slip below $160."

Just saw the news — Trump’s cranking up the trade war again. He’s threatening a 25% tariff on iPhone
|
Just saw the news — Trump’s cranking up the trade war again. He’s threatening a 25% tariff on iPhones unless Apple moves production to the U.S. Says he told Tim Cook this “long ago.” AAPL dropped nearly 3% premarket.
On top of that, he’s slapping a 50% tariff on *all* EU goods starting June 1 unless they’re made in the U.S. EU’s already prepping $100B+ in retaliation. Luxury stocks and auto makers are getting hit hard.
Feels like we’re heading back into 2018-style chaos. Is this just Trump playing hardball or the start of something bigger? You buying the dip on AAPL or staying away?

GOOGL call options
|
What do you all think about GOOGL hitting $160 by 5/30? It was at $165 earlier this week and just got beat up with Apple News and it seems overblown. They are still dominant in Search and have over 52% of digital ads market share. Seems like it has resistance at $165 but at least should make its way to $160-$161. Curious on other’s thoughts on this play.

The Case for Gold's Rise and Apple's Fall - My Options Strategy
|
**Looking to go long GDX & short AAPL – here's my game plan (4-part position sizing):**
1️⃣ **First 1/4 on GDX calls** – betting on gold miners
2️⃣ **First 1/4 on AAPL puts** – riding the bearish momentum
*(Will scale in/out based on market moves!)*
# Why GDX over GLD?
✔ **Gold demand** – Classic hedge against inflation/chaos. If you think either’s rising, GDX wins.
✔ **Industry consolidation** – Big mergers (Newmont-Goldcorp, Barrick-Randgold) = stronger, leaner miners
✔ **Market fear** – When stocks tank, gold pumps. GDX benefits.
✔ **Fed rate cuts** = Gold bullish. And if Trump’s trade war fails? He might start a real war or mess with gold reserves – more upside!
✔ **Mining tech revolution** – AI/quantum computing slashes costs (Newmont’s error rate dropped from 35% → 8%). **2025 ROI forecast: 15.4%!**
✔ **Green gold rush** – 54% of GDX companies are *zero-emission* (Barrick uses hydrogen trucks) EU carbon taxes? No problem
# Why short AAPL?
❌ **"Apple Tax" under attack** – US court just ruled they *can’t* force devs to use their payment system (no more 30% cut!). Revenue killer
❌ **China market shrinking** – Losing ground to local brands (Huawei, Xiaomi). iPhone = AAPL’s cash cow. If it stumbles, so does Apple
❌ **Supply chain mess** – Tariffs + India move = higher costs, lower quality (remember those defective India-made iPhones?).
❌ **Innovation lag** – Tech moves fast. If AAPL can’t keep up (looking at you, stagnant iPhone updates), they’re toast
**What do you think, bro? Solid strategy or am I missing something?** Let’s discuss – always down to learn and make smarter trades!

**LAST MINUTE MONEY MOVE** Options Plays for AAPL Earnings and Beyond
|
LAST MINUTE OPTION PLAYS FOR AAPL EARNINGS AND BEYOND
Continuing our eventful week of earnings and government reports, another great opportunity for investors comes from Apple. Personally, it is so difficult to tell which way the underlying will move, as Apple is one of the strongest and best companies in the world(heck just about everyone I know has at least some type of Apple product), but with economic uncertainty in the US and risk of costs drastically rising from tariffs, its impossible to know what will happen. That being said, we still came up with the best options strategies for whichever way it moves, and this could be the opportunity YOU have been looking for.
Our goals were to limit downside risk, maximize potential profits(duh), and be in the money as soon as possible, rather than finding a trade that is only profitable near expiration. On this note, for you bulls out there, the first trade we found is a 250/270 Call Spread, expiring in June
https://preview.redd.it/29lfp9wvd7ye1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=d5ad8032fb1911455083281c0ba40d582843641e
The cost of this trade is slightly higher than average over the past two years, but well cheaper than it’s been over the past month and a half, which I believe gives it quite good value
https://preview.redd.it/opkhip3xd7ye1.png?width=1004&format=png&auto=webp&s=c00260cd72d206184bb86899e4b947069dbe2b8d
Similarly to many of the leading US equities, the cost of the underlying is high compared to the past couple years, but also well below its recent February high. The implications of this are for each investor to determine themselves, but there is a case to be made for movement in either direction.
https://preview.redd.it/itki5a9yd7ye1.png?width=1002&format=png&auto=webp&s=0d5f7857e65314e158b8996c473f8592790150b5
The heatmap of this trade shows the profitability probabilities, and we like this trade because it profits immediately on a positive movement in the underlying, while limiting downside risk to the cost of the premium only, making it a safe trade with the chance for very strong returns.
https://preview.redd.it/pntbuqwzd7ye1.png?width=1228&format=png&auto=webp&s=c144f3ad663a7b675e6db96a7177d9ed8b2cee12
On this flip side, for you bears out there looking to profit on a downward move, we found a 185/165 Put Spread, also expiring in June
https://preview.redd.it/fvab5uy0e7ye1.png?width=3035&format=png&auto=webp&s=860af779a14bb5d7dfacbeecfc6c8aaf05f71ecb
The cost of this trade is similar top the positive one, in the sense that it is slightly higher than it was historically, but also cheaper than it’s been over the past few weeks.
https://preview.redd.it/0prq7ra2e7ye1.png?width=999&format=png&auto=webp&s=6afa7f8ad836f4b9496ed81b2507c0885fa9682a
The heatmap of this trade shows the strong profitability of this trade, showing how it profits immediately upon a downward move of the underlying, while at the same showing how risk is limited to the cost of the premium, giving it a high return chance with minimal negative risk.
https://preview.redd.it/grhbdi85e7ye1.png?width=1225&format=png&auto=webp&s=a9975e124b91f9fb972e1e03fc59a0eb58af04c6
In conclusion, this is a time of uncertainty in the US and global markets. This creates opportunities for investors to capitalize on volatility and make serious money. While I do not have a crystal ball and cannot say which direction AAPL or any stock will move, we can and do provide the best trades to make for each side and leave it up to you.
And remember, at the end of the day, it’s better to be lucky than good, so good luck to you all.

Have you ever been assigned and then forced to sell the stocks at a huge loss?
|
This is my greatest fear and the only real risk that I see with options trading when you don't have the cash to keep the stocks if you're assigned; if you have to buy them and then the stock price dips and you're forced to sell for a big realized loss because you can't afford to keep and hold the shares.
Has this ever happened to anybody here? I would like to hear about it. This is the one thing that holds me back from trying options, as I only have enough to cover keeping and holding cheap stocks, if I were to be assigned. If I were to try trading something like Apple and be assigned and the stock dipped like $5-$10, it would crush me.

Reminder: r/options is for discussion specifically of options, not a general market discussion sub
|
Over the past few days, I've removed an inordinate number of posts that don't mention options at all.
Please be aware that r/options is focused on discussion of options. It's not a general stock market subreddit. It's not a place to post "what does everybody think the market is going to do today?" or "will this panic selling last?" or "what will the effect of Trump's tariffs be?" or "I think SPY will rebound today."
Here's a sampling of three posts I just removed, all posted in the past hour.
**Title:** Following Trump on Truth Social should be illegal lol
**Body:** At market open, Trump posted this before he later announced the 90d pause on tariffs:
<screenshot>
A few days ago, fake news headline went out about the 90d pause and markets jumped 10%. Shoulda had my notifications on.
**Title:** Is this panic retail
**Body:** What’s with this crazy pump following Trump’s social media posts on immediate 125% tariffs to China and pause on “non-retaliating” countries to 10%?
If anything, this is even worse as a full blown trade war is on and China is bound to retaliate heavier and harder, potentially banning certain exports to the USA totally. Do people not realise US is a net importer of Chinese goods?
Apple is up 11% and a good portion of their iPhone components come from China, which will now immediately pay 125% tariffs.
**Title:** Insane
**Body:** Damn near every stock in my watchlist is pumping out of nowhere at like 12:40 pm. I knew things were volatile, but this is nuts.
Is this like the last gasp before it really tanks?
# Posts like the above are considered off-topic for r/options and will be taken down.
Also, we are trying to have actual discussions here. This is not a Discord chat. One-sentence posts consisting of nothing but "anyone buying puts on NVDA today?" or "who thinks SPY calls will print today?" while they technically mention options, are considered low-effort and will be removed.

🔥 AAPL Short Play Activated: Scaling Into $192.5 Puts Ahead of Tariff Chaos (3x Entry, 10K Each) –
|
Now that the price of apples has skyrocketed, I'm going to start shorting apples! Selected the 192.5 puts with expiration date 250417! Bought 30K in three batches, bought the first 10K shares today, and will continue to add 10K near the close of trading on Friday! If we see if we make a profit or loss by next Tuesday, then we will see what happens and make adjustments, we all already agree on this operation concept!
1. Tariffs Are a Margin Killer – Supply Chain’s a House of Cards
"Made in USA" Disaster: Trump’s push to reshore iPhone production could spike costs by 15-20% (JPMorgan estimate). China’s ecosystem of suppliers – from Foxconn’s assembly lines to BOE’s displays – can’t be replicated in Arizona factories overnight.
Triple Tariff Threat: Proposed 25% tariffs on imports from China, Vietnam, and India (where 30% of Apple’s suppliers operate) would crush margins. iPhones currently bank on 22.5% gross margins – these tariffs alone could slash that to 18%.
Consumer Backlash: Pass 10-15% price hikes to buyers? Good luck competing with Samsung’s Vietnam-made Galaxy S26 priced 20% lower.
2. Innovation Flatline – iPhones Are Yesterday’s News
iPhone Growth Stagnation: <3% sales growth through 2026 (Gartner forecast). The "Siri 2.0" flop and delayed iPhone 17 (now pushed to 2026 per Ming-Chi Kuo) leave zero excitement. Gen-Z’s ditching iPhones for Humane AI Pins and Rabbit R1s.
Services in the Crosshairs:
EU’s $5B Antitrust Fine: Forces Apple to cut App Store fees to 15% (from 30%), gutting services revenue growth (currently 22% of total).
Regulatory Domino Effect: U.S. DOJ lawsuit looming – a breakup of Apple’s hardware-services bundle could vaporize $120B in market cap (Goldman Sachs model).
3. Valuation Reckoning – Smart Money’s Heading for the Exits
Bubble Territory:
P/E at 30.6x vs. 5-yr avg of 25x → 22% overvalued
P/S ratio of 7.3x screams "tech bubble 2.0" (compared to Microsoft’s 12x with actual AI revenue)
Forward P/E at 23.7x shows analysts slashing EPS estimates
Institutional Exodus:
Berkshire dumped 8% of its AAPL stake last quarter (Buffett’s "too big to grow" verdict)
Top 20 hedge funds cut AAPL exposure by $7B in Q1 2025 (13F filings) → Rotating into NVDA/AMD AI plays

Long Puts to recover

Hi
Seeking to explore the pros and cons of repairing deep on the money CSP on APPL: Strike 225 expiring 2 May (3 contracts).
The worst case is to own the shares but wanted to lower the assignment price if so, and thinking to roll to 17 Oct with e net credit. This is a bad idea?
Thanks for your help.

Was puts really that obvious?
|
I’ve lost so much money from 2020-2024 buying puts when everyone was making on calls, I am inherently bearish.
Im just a retail trader (loser)
I made some money on puts early March as talks of tariffs began. But I saw how wishy washy it was, tariffs being delayed or manipulation from Twitter comments from the president etc. Then all the big dips on opening and watching everything get bought up to green by close this week….
As a retail trader who occasionally gambles on options, if I was buying options was it really that obvious?
Just seeing all the gain posts on wsb today. I stayed out of the market until I bought some 15 day apple calls at close yesterday (sold this morning for 25% loss)

Need help to make sense of the option analysis graph on IBKR IPhone Mobile App
|
# I’m learning IBKR option analysis tools and I added a very simple April 250 long call, that cost 4.85 at that moment, for Apple to my watchlist. On the expiration date which is April 17 P&L and P&L target should be the same, no? This is what I see: [https://ibb.co/LdD827Lv](https://ibb.co/LdD827Lv) Please help me to understand these 2 graphs.

Just tried chating with AI
|
So I figured I would see what AI would tell me. I asked it for selling a creditspread and selling an ironcondor. I gave it screenshots and information on what I can and cant do with webull I had it look for factors and everything else. And it gave me 1 for each.
Creditspead
Apple sell 235/230 put spread for March 14th. 75% probability
Iron condor
TSLA for March 7th sell 275p/ buy 285p/ buy 295c/ sell 305c. 80% probability
How well do you think it did?

options to close my short
|
Hi guys,
I have a short position that is currently losing money down about 30%. Are there any options strategy that I use to slowly earn some premium / close my short position?
Add more context
I have a Apple short position of 50 shares at $200. I believe cash secured put is the best option for me now. But, I don't know how far should I sell my put to earn some premium while waiting for it to fall.

Apple covered calls?

Anyone selling covered calls on Apple before earnings today. If so, up to what strike price?
Some analysts have got a Target price of $188 on the stock amid slow growth in China regarding its economy, cheaper phones, AI disappointment and loss of market share.

Short PMCC ITM scenario
|
I bought about 40 calls on AAPL with $240 strike 3/21 expiry when apple was really down. I also sold 40 calls for the same strike expiring 1/31 thinking it won't jump 10% given that it was down by a lot.
I guess I couldn't have been more wrong. I'm doing good on my calls and almost equally bad on my sells. What are my options here?
Roll for a higher strike and pay a premium debit and call it a day? What happens on 1/31 when apple is ITM at $240+, how does Robinhoof handle this given that I don't have 1M cash to cover my sells but my long has good value?

Pelosi options Alphabet and Amazon
|
I put up a screenshot of Nancy’s January trades and I saw she did some calls on Amazon and Google. The price she picked for the. Calls is 150 which somewhat makes sense due to the great value of these stocks and the limited possibility of major downturns. What’re y’all’s thoughts on these trades in the image? I have a small account 8k and another one at 8.7k. Would be nice to grow these with options. I’m 24 by the way. I have a lot of solid long term stocks and have great price points on them, but I don’t really have the capital to keep buying into them substantially enough to make the major profits. I understand the risks involved with options and the old saying of “only risk what you are okay to lose” but with quality stocks like this it seems difficult to go wrong in,es something major were to happen. What would be the strategy to roll out these calls should they expire with poor return. I know Robinhood will sometimes exercise your calls sooner than the expiration date. Any advice is appreciated! The more I’m learning the more I realize how much I don’t know, I have studied options for awhile now and I am just hesitant to pull the trigger as I very much understand the risks.
Here’s a link to the site I looked at shown in the image: https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Nancy%20Pelosi-P000197

Understanding the poor man’s method
|
So I’m starting out trying to understand options. I’m using robinhood and I have bought 1 call on Aug 15.
I’ve done some research and I want to now test myself doing it. I bought a leap of apple (or I thought I did) for Aug 15, but when I then go in to try and sell that cover call at an earlier date (feb 14) which the research I’ve done says I can do, robinhood tells me to don’t have the shares to sell that?
The only thing I can think is wrong is I did not buy a leap, because one video I watched said it needs to be a year, investopedia says 9 months - I counted this month I guess this one doesn’t count? But I guess it needs to be around October to be considered a leap?
Help?
Edit: looks like I need a level 3 for Robinhood. I missed that step
Thanks for the help!

Technical Indicators to Detect Short-Term Price Increases for Options Trading
|
**Note: This is an updated version of a previous post that was removed as it wasn't sufficiently related to options trading; Mods, please let me know if this post is still not adequate**
Hello all!
I'm posting here again relating to technique I've started using which I'm hoping will be rather profitable in options trading. The technique I use relies on 3 technical indicators to predict short-term (12 - 24 hours post-signal) increases in the market; while the increases can vary considerably, you can consistently rely on a $1 - $2 jump in the price for most liquid stocks (that are above $100/share), which should be able to generate a profit a good chunk of the time.
# The Strategy
The technical indicators (and filters) I rely on are:
* **200 MA**: The price must be above the 200 MA
* **Stochastic RSI**: A built in indicator on tradingview where sub-20 indicates oversold conditions; two conditions must be met here
* The indicator (K) must dip below 20 at some point
* The difference between the fast (K) and the slow (D) must be greater than or equal to 5
* **The Ensemble Technical Indicator** **(ETI)**: The ETI is an indicator I created (which is available on Tradingview) which converts numerous technical indicators into 1 or -1 (based on whether the trend is bullish or bearish for that specific indicator), sums these numbers up and then sums across the previous 20 value to generate a singular value. Here values under -40 indicate oversold while those over 50 indicate overbought. For more details relating to this indicator, you can refer to a post I made in the technical indicator subreddit [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/technicalanalysis/comments/1fc1kln/the_ensemble_technical_indicator_a_new_technical/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). The indicator must dip at or below -40 for this strategy.
So, to summarize, for a buy signal the price has to be **above** the 200 MA, with the Stochastic RSI **dipping below** 20 **while** the ETI is at-40 or below, **and** the difference between the K and D metrics of the Stochastic RSI must be **5 or more**.
That's a mouthful! But it's quite easy to spot on a chart (I chose AMZN as I'm monitoring the chart right now), which I've pasted below. The candles are at the 4 hour level as this (and the 1D) level tends to have a higher success rate than lower timeframes (1 hr can also be used for more frequent signals)
[AMZN chart on Tradingview](https://preview.redd.it/h4xh4is7elde1.png?width=1061&format=png&auto=webp&s=54db642ff824c00f8145e77d8bb97f086667044b)
So we can see that on Monday November 25th at 9:30a, all our criteria have been satisfied:
* Price is above 200MA
* ETI is at/below -40 (-44)
* Stoch RSI has dipped below 20 while ETI is at/below -40
* The difference between the K (blue line) and D (orange line) is equal to or greater than 5 (6.59)
As such we would buy an ATM option at the next open ($201.90).
There can be some slightly ambiguous circumstances, which IMO fulfil the criteria I laid out, but are not as obvious. For instance, below we see the difference between the K & D is greater than 5, but the K is above 20. Again, the K simply has to dip below 20 while the ETI is at/below -40, so this in my mind is still a buy signal
https://preview.redd.it/sjv8clhuelde1.png?width=1063&format=png&auto=webp&s=276d1c9fa81689745eb5dc9489a31c10b97a7fb7
# Success Rate
What does the success rate look like using this strategy? I ran a backtest using 4 hour candles from Tradingview, using the above parameters for SPY, NVDA, GOOG, AMZN, APPL & TSLA given these stocks tend to have the most liquid options. I also only included signals where the stock price (at its high) was at least $100.
Data went back as far as 2004 depending on the stock and when it crossed the $100 level (e.g. SPY) and a total of 175 instances were identified. When a buy signal was generated the average maximum dollar jump in the following three candles was $3.44 (vs. $2.62 when the above filters are not applied; a statistically significant difference).
In terms of thresholds, if you're looking to sell when the stock increases by $1 from the opening price of the candle following the buy signal, that occurs 69% of the time (vs. 62% of the time when the price is above $100 without the additional filters).
The results also vary by stock as seen in the table below. We can see that with the exception of AAPL and TSLA, the strategy is better than random chance at identifying at least $1 increases in the stock price in the 3 bars (12ish hours) from the buy signal.
|Ticker|Less than $1 Increase|$1 Increase or greater|% Strategy|% Chance|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|AAPL|10|15|60%|72%|
|AMZN|2|23|92%|72%|
|GOOG|2|7|78%|67%|
|NVDA|1|6|86%|77%|
|SPY|29|46|61%|50%|
|TSLA|8|21|72%|88%|
# Strategy for Option Trading
Now that I've explained the strategy, how does it work for option trading? when I see that a signal is about to be generated, I look to buy:
* ATM options with a delta of at least 0.4
* a DTE that allows me to make a profit with a $1 increase over 2 days.
* Once I hit my $1 increase I either sell, or set a stop-loss (acknowledging those don't always work) so I can further profit as the price goes up (remember the average increase is $3.44 with the median being $1.82 - meaning that 50% of max increases are above $1.82).
* If $1 increase doesn't hit I exit at the close of the 3rd bar (for the 4H candles; exit at the end of the 2nd bar for 1D candles)
I've already started using this strategy over the past 3 or 4 days using candles at the 4H and 1D level and have made a small profit winning 5/6 trades (the last one hit the $1 increase, but i wasn't fast enough to sell).
Issues with this strategy include that when you have to buy options at the bell, the volatility can mean you get less than favourable prices given how difficult it can be to time a good buy at the bell. Additionally, while this strategy at the 1D candle works 81% of the time (i.e. 81% of the time the price will increase at least $1 over 2 days) for stocks currently in the S&P 500, this is not much better than chance (78%).
I would look to hear people's feedback, thoughts, criticisms, etc.

Is a double diagonal with long deep ITM and short OTM the safest play to make with decent returns?
|
Take for example Apple (AAPL).
Exp 12/19/25 60C u/176.20 ; delta 99.8
Exp 12/19/25 320P @ 87.55 ; delta -100
Total cost: 263.75
Intrinsic value: 173.5+86.5 = 260
Extrinsic value = 3.75, or $375 per contract
Gamma, Theta, vega (immaterial in this case)
Max loss is capped at just the extrinsic value, which is at most \~1.5%.
Sell weekly 25-45\*delta options against it.
Exp 1/17/25 235C u/2.03 ; delta 44.6
Exp 1/17/25 232.5P u/2.05 ; delta 40.6
total premium: 4.08, or 108.8% of extrinsic value.
Total money to set aside is 26,375 for the long options. For the short options, you are covered from your longs, but let's say 50% set aside to be safe: (235+232.5)/2 = 233.75 ; 233.75\*2\*100 / 2 = 23,375.
25375+23375 = $48,750
You are indifferent about the stock rising or falling as the deltas on the long options is 100 offsetting the rise in the price of the short options. If you get assigned, you can exit by closing your whole position. A weekly return of 408/48,750 = 0.83% which annually comes to 54%.
Accounting for the recovery of the long intrinsic value, annual returns are 107%, or in other words, a portfolio value increase from:
48,750 --> 101,195
Thoughts on this kind of approach?

Tool to quickly calculate annualized return rate of a trade
|
Here's a handy little calculator for option sellers. Calculates your annual return on risk capital for a given trade. I use it next to thinkorswim, to quickly size up potential trades. It's a 'progressive web app' - a website that will behave like an app if you add it to your homescreen. That way it can be installed on desktop, phone, or tablet, on any of the common operating systems. Was tired of using spreadsheets and the like, and wanted something light and quick and cross platform. So I came up with this. Would appreciate any feedback. Happy trading: [https://arorc-calculator.app](https://arorc-calculator.app)

DCA into SPY by selling puts? 250k never traded options before.
|
Hi guys, I will try to give context to my whole situation while also keeping it brief.
After all income minus expenses (mortgage, other) I have a surplus of about 2-3k a month that I just collect in my bank. For the past few years it was just rotting in my BOA account, but recently I moved it to Robinhood so it atleast gets 4% now.
A few years ago I put 50k in GTE, sold it when it hit 65k. Had to pay taxes on the 15k. Then put the 65k into SDC. DCA’d when stock fell in half and put in another 50k. SDC went bankrupt so I lost 115k. Would be nice if I could tax harvest it some how.
Also this whole time I was not putting any money into 401k or Roth. A month ago filled up my Roth for the Robinhood bonus, and will deposit another 7k in a few days. And a few days ago I finally went to my HR portal and enabled max 401k. Why it took me this long, I don’t know.
Anyways, I already made every possible financial mistake, so I was just trying to make the final biggest one of all. Timing the market. That is why I let my savings ballon to 250k (even after the SDC loss) .
But I just read somewhere that selling puts of SPY is like DCA’ing plus you also get paid a premium.
As you can see, I am financially illiterate, I’ve never traded options before, although I do have a Robinhood account, and I’m smart enough to know how to have a good job that pay wells. Can someone help me walk through this?
I understand that when I enter a contract to sell puts, I buy 100 shares of that stock at the current price. If the shares go up I am mandated to sell these shares at that price I bought them, and the buyer can take those shares and instantly sell them for the higher price.
If the stock goes down however, than my option expires worthless, but I don’t care because I was hoping for that to happen if my goal was to DCA into SPY. I already bought the 100 shares. I just got paid the premium for giving someone an option to speculate on them.
I have a couple of questions, first when doing this option, is there a particularly security to choose? Like SPY or VOO or SPLG or just the stocks I want to invest in like, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google.
For example, I noticed SPY has a ton of dates for selling puts, whereas SPLG only has 5 possible dates, roughly 2-3 months apart.
My goal is to maximize bid price right? The lower you try to sell the put for, usually the lower the bid price.
Also if I try to sell a put that expires in a few days, usually the bid price is a few dollars. A month away, it goes up to $10. But two months away, it doesn’t double to $20, it goes to around $12-$14. So that is why the most optimal puts are to buy the ones that are a month away. Because you collect the premium and can choose to invest into selling more puts again more quickly (if stock went up).
Should I try to care about limit order or market order?
Right now I’m looking at SPY, the current price is $588.70, and there is a put for $588 on Feb 21st with a bid price of $10.21
So irregardless, I make $1,021. If stock goes down, I was planning to DCA into SPY, so now I own 100 shares. If stock goes up, someone else makes more money. Since I have 250k, I can do this trade 4 times, and at the end of February, I either have 250k plus 4k, or I have 400 shares of SPY
I guess now the question becomes how do I maximize the bid price while not doing something crazy? What is the best strategy for this?
Plus I kinda do still believe in timing the market a little. I feel like there might be a sharp drop around end of Jan (Trump) and then we will probably trend downwards or sideways for a year or so. I’m curious if you guys agree or disagree or what are your market predictions. I feel like recession sentiment is growing, but I don't know how that correlates to an actual recession.

Options watchlist for this week and possibly next week
|
Aa title suggestions. Firstly I tried to post the watchlist as a screenshot but got deleted. Got a few big names with particularly nice set ups. Obviously QQQ and SPY are at the top with nvidia and Amazon next. Tesla, apple, Netflix and Pltr. Ill post the screenshot in the replies I guess!
This watchlist is for educational and learning purposes obviously. I'm no financial guru. Just a dumb guy with ideas lol
EDIT:
Posted on my profile. Have to probably download it in order to view. Cheers!

Shkrelli found a new short: $GALT predicted to go down 99%
|
This is the ex-pharma guy who predicted the $SAVA short a few weeks back. Now he's saying $GALT will go down 99% (full thesis here: https://ontheimpossible.vercel.app/AnAppleADayGALT.pdf).
They're expected to publish their Phase 2/3 study in December apparently.
Market seems to be pricing in roughly a 48% chance of this prediction happening by EOY
https://preview.redd.it/ij434lboqu7e1.png?width=2198&format=png&auto=webp&s=d543d7b08336eab787e3b407aa8fdf3bef1a4d97
The risk-reward isn't the best on puts at around 1:1.6, or 63% gain if this prediction comes true:
https://preview.redd.it/d857bmrtqu7e1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=de8a6b4a52ce7f8b4d7ba152622d83a0dda7b3b0
But if you're VERY confident Shrkelli is right (i.e. you think there's a 70% chance this will happen), a nerfed Kelly criterion suggests 22% total capital allocation size. FWIW though if you're only 60% confident, it's suggesting a 0% allocation.

LEAPS calls for EOY 25 and Start of 26
|
My options for the EOY 2025 are:
* AAPL 300
* GOOGL 200
* VST 190
All three are 3x
Vistra was a bit of a gamble seeing how they had an amazing year this year. I figured they'd keep that momentum going into the next year, but it doesn't seem to be looking that way. Too early to say still? With AAPL and GOOGL (Alphabet Class A), I feel like those are sure-fire winners with Google's new quantum chip performing quite well in-house and Apple pushing foldable tech and continuing to deliver on their TV service, especially with MLB.
Options for the end of January, basically the beginning of 2026:
* HIMS 50 2x
* PLTR 80 5x
* SOUN 20 3x
Hims and Hers has had a lot of momentum this past year, but it may be a gamble with RFK Jr.'s unpredictability as the Department of Health head. I feel like it will still do well, however, with telehealth becoming more prominent seemingly. PLTR and SOUN are still volatile imho, but I'm willing to see where it could go until July-September. If it's at -50% then, I'd be willing to sell them naked just to say I took a solid risk.
I'd like to get thoughts from those more experienced in options trading than I am since this is my first year trading options. I'm sure these might be bad calls overall, but maybe I'm wrong?

AAPL taking a breather from $248 to $244 - Analysis
|
# 📊 AAPL Technical Breakdown and Small Account Challenge
I’ve been analyzing **Apple's (AAPL)** charts, and here’s what I’m seeing:
1. **Technical Indicators:**
* Upward trend **broke below and retested** before showing signs of heading lower.
* **Bearish death candle** on the daily chart.
* A **Head and Shoulders** pattern on the 1-hour chart.
2. **Indicators:**
* **RSI** is signaling **overbought** conditions.
3. **Fundamentals:**
* The **PE ratio** is significantly **above its 10-year average**.
It needs a breather after the recent rocket run it's had from $219 to $250 in 25 days. That's a 12% increase in market cap in 25 days?! How does that make sense?
Given this, I’m predicting a pullback to **$244** before a bounce or further direction. Current price: **$248**.
# 📝 How I’m Trading This:
I’m in a **spread trade** to maximize safety and minimize cost:
* **Sell $245 strike** and **buy $247.50 strike** as insurance.
This spread costs **$86** in risk for a potential **$164 profit** if AAPL dips below $245 by expiration. With these indicators lining up, it’s a **solid risk/reward** play.
I’m documenting this in my **Small Account Challenge**: taking my account from **$500 to $1,000,000**. 📈

IBKR not allowing to sell CC against LEAP options
|
Hey folks,
I'm just starting to explore LEAP to do covered calls on some higher priced stocks. To learn, I'm playing with the paper trading account of IBKR.
I bought a 377 days expiring deep ITM call for Apple, with delta of 0.8. Once that was bought, I went to sell CC for weeklies.
IBKR gave an error saying this is not allowed and I don't have permission. But I'm on Level 3 permission for options. Do I now need to bump myself to level 4? That'll be scary, as I don't want to make mistakes and lose my portfolio lol.
Am I doing something wrong? Do LEAPS need to be bought differently and indicated as such?
Appreciate the help.

Started my account, taking it serious for the first time
|
I’ve always dabbled in stocks for a a while, meaning a few years. Spent a lot of time reading, watching videos ect. I’ve started a few sim accounts, but due to work at the time I just couldn’t be “in the market” like I wanted to.
Now after picking up the studying again a little, opened a sim account with 2K. Very happy with the results so far. Some were short positions, some were long.
I believe in being able to play both ways, I trade ODTE and some options up to a week out.
Right now I’m going to keep my pych of taking small gains, as each day I still only traded for about a hour each.

Is my analysis on SPY for the upcoming week valid?
|
Based on the current schedule for earnings report this week, large companies such as google, apple, meta, amd, etc are all releasing their earnings this week. Based on market sentiment and how well earnings have gone so far with other companies like tesla for instance, I do have a feeling that other large companies will also follow suit and rise in price. Would my calls for nov 1st $590 strike price be a stupid play?

Where does the capital to fuel mega rallies in mega cap stocks come from?
|
As of writing this post, $170 calls in NVDA are trading at $3.75. That's almost a 20% move in NVDA, which indicates the market cap of NVDA will be increased by $650B if it reaches that strike by December, 20th.
In theory the probability of that happening is 18%. While it's a low probability, it's not impossible either.
So my question is if NVDA actually goes above $170 by Dec 20th, where do the $650B money to fuel that rally come from? Is that the cash that investors are hiding somewhere or it has to come from potential sell off in Apple, MSFT and other mega cap companies?

What are your news or idea sources?
|
Where can we find upcoming company events? Like Tesla robotaxi show or OpenAI fund raiser events? I thought news papers will do it but they cover after the event. These are good times to have straddles. Even apple conference etc. I know i can go to these sites and see upcoming events but if someone consolidates this nicely it will be great. Is there anything like that. Free/paid

I Developed Spreadable: A Mobile App for Managing Complex Option Strategies on the Go
|
I wanted to share Spreadable, a mobile app I developed after facing challenges trading complex option strategies on the go. One of Spreadable’s main strength is its ability to automatically (or manually) group complex option strategies, making it easier to track and manage trades on mobile.
Another issue I ran into was high commission costs. I was trading a large number of contracts, and those fees added up fast. I eventually switched to Tradier—a solid broker that uses the same clearing firm as many top brokers but only charges a flat rate of 10$ for commission free option trading (they do pass clearing/regulatory fees, check their website for more info). The catch? They save on costs by having a pretty bare-bones platform.
So, I decided to build my own iOS app to solve both problems. Since then, Spreadable has evolved into a platform that can handle complex strategies while helping users save on commission fees.
Spreadable offers a 2-month free trial, so you can try it out without any commitment. After that, the service is $29.99/month, but here’s the good news: if you trade at least 300 contracts monthly, Tradier will credit the Spreadable fee back to your account. This can be a huge benefit for active traders, essentially making the app free.
I’ve kept close contact with users and have implemented a lot of their suggestions. If there’s a feature you feel is missing or if the app doesn’t quite suit your trading style, feel free to reach out to me—I'm always open to feedback.
I recently talked about the app in an interview on Tradier’s The Brew, which dives a bit deeper into its features if you’re interested:
https://www.youtube.com/live/wXnZuTLPOZA?si=z5Ve9Bl75awSJIyt
We’ve rolled out a few updates since that interview, but that should give you a decent overview of what Spreadable is all about.
For more info, you can check out the website or download the app here: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/spreadable/id1644952606?l=en-GB

Iron condor strikes and deltas help
|
Is it possible to have a short delta of .16 and still also get 1/3 of the strike price in premium?
It feels to me that in order to achieve 33% of the strike width in premium I have to chose a delta closer to .3.
I guess ultimately what I'm asking is for advice on what works for you using iron condors.
So far, I've only made money on one iron condor with APPL and one with SPY. QQQ, MSFT, and NVDA are the others that ive tried.
My target profit is 50% so it's not like I'm trying to squeeze every penny out of the trade

Iron Condor Help (Happy Friday)
|
Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
I wanted to come here and talk about some experience that I have had over the past couple of days for Iron Condors. I am looking to use statistics to find prices on short dated options and collect credit. I am using paper trading on Thinkorswim, while I get the hang of it and track some of the winners, losers, and fine tune my strategy.
I currently use the Bollinger bands to look at standard deviation. I am trying to target companies that are large or mega cap stocks that have lots of option volume for short dated options. I know the longer out on the expiration that you go, the harder it is to fill a condor, given it has 4 legs, however you can get better spreads. I am also using RSI, and other technical indicators to find price levels (support and resistance). I am not one to try to find narrow ranges that the stock could fall on, I want to prioritize the win rate of this strategy over the total profit per trade. My thinking is that if I can win 95% of the trades, by hitting a bunch of singles (baseball reference), it is better than a homerun while taking more risk.
Like I said, I am paper trading my account, and so far over the last two days, I have had to close out some legs on the condors due to heightened volatility among the mag 7 stocks. This is one of the main reasons that I am trying not to do this with real money until I get the hang of it. Despite those set backs, I have still done fairly well over a two day trial period. I intend on paper trading for several months and tracking my trades to see what works, and get a better idea of my win rates, etc.
Here were some of the trades that went well for me that I opened yesterday and today.
DAL (Opened on 9/5) Expiration 9/6/2024:
Bought Put @ 40.50 strike for .05, Sold One Put @ 41.00 strike for .07. Total credit = $2 per contract.
Sold One Call @ 44 strike for .09, Bought one call @ 44.50 strike for .05. Total Credit = $$4 per contract.
Total credit was $6 per condor and I conducted 100 condors, collecting a total credit of $600. As of close today, I was able to make my max profit. My thinking with this trade was that with the airline news yesterday, there was heightened volatility, which shot IV on this option chain up significantly, so I was able to make some money by selling a condor. I pulled up my technical analysis tools, and found the upper and lower bounds to determine where my sold calls and puts should be. Despite the profits being low relative to the max loss, I thought it was a very safe trade. Please let me know your thoughts on this, looking for feedback and a way to learn more about the condors and other strategies!
AAPL (Opened 9/6) Expiration 9/6/2024:
Bought put @ 215 strike for .05, sold one put @ 217.50 strike .15. Total credit = $10 per contract
Sold one call @ 227.50 strike for .03, bought one call @ 230 strike for .02. Total credit = $1 per contract.
Total credit collected was $11 per condor, and like DAL, I opened 100 condors, for a total collected premium of $1100. My thinking here is that Apple is likely to trade within the range, and is less correlated and volatile to NVDA, AVGO, and other chip companies. I spotted this trade last night while looking around for opportunities at the open. Used my technical indicators the same as with the DAL. The lower IV, and a bearish bias on the stock (given the wider spreads on the put side of the condor), enabled me to collect a little more premium, however, the difference in strike prices ramped up my max loss more than the DAL trade.
I had a bunch of other trades, but those are just to serve as an example. To save time I will not include all of them. But on another note...
What are the ways you guys currently look to set up your condors? How are you looking for entries? What screeners do you use to find stocks that are trading sideways? What times are best for condors? What is your experience with condors? What are some other strategies that I should look at that have a neutral outlook on a stock? What options can I layer on top of a condor to increase credit, or lower the risk profile if the stock really moves against you? Perhaps there is a way to trade a condor around earnings to capitalize on high volatility, but also buy upside and downside protection if the stock really moves one way or another (think of a situation like AVGO today)?
Thanks in advance for all of the info everyone, talk to you in the comments!

Selling covered Puts Long term
|
Market in general is bullish on stocks like Nvidia, Apple, AVGO. I am interested in selling covered Puts or covered calls on the stock far away from strike price. For example, Buy $110Put and Sell $115 put for net credit of 100$ on AVGO for example and max loss limited to 400$ for Exp or June 2025.
That’s 20% ROI. Even with market downturn like Carry trade tantrum 3 weeks ago, chances are AVGO will not go below $120. Does such a trade makes sense? I understand that theta decay (good for me) will be really low for first 9 months and only in last 3 months I start getting real returns. Main benefit I see is that I don’t have to monitor such positions day to day or week 2 week.
If I want to invest 10k in similar positions, I am planning to push 4-5k now and rest in next few months if AVGO falls further.
Any comments/suggestions like I can go for $10 or $20 spread instead of $5?

Apple Call $235 Opinions?
|
Apple Call $235 Exp 10/18 Your opinion
Hello I am still very new to option trading but have been watching a lot of videos and decided to put forward a small amount of money to option trade.
I know a lot of people are going to mention paper trading but I learn best with real world situation with real risk.
Anyway I I bought 2 call options at an average price of $4.38 exp 10/18. Right before market closed I am currently up $95 but after market Apple dropped, I am assuming due to the new CFO coming on January.
What do you think about the investment, what would you have done differently. I also learn best when I am able to get more informed opinions so that is why I am here asking. Look forward to your responses.

Is this strategy smart? or am i just dumb?
|
Okay, so I am new to this and kinda playing around with options. But I saw some stuff and it got me thinking of a pretty surefire way to make money. and I know there is no surefire way of making money or else everyone would be doing it, what am I not seeing here?
Let's do an example but first, we need basic assumptions: **Stocks generally over time increase in value.**
https://preview.redd.it/7ai38qejcqhd1.png?width=1178&format=png&auto=webp&s=bf74aa649c9e835a5ef9f2b2c94c997002795502
So **AAPL is sitting currently at 216.18** and the **ITM call for $150 dates for sept 2025 sits at a premium of 76.55**. so 1 call at 150 would be $7655. the break-even requires the current stock price to increase by 4.43% which is not a whole lot when you have a stock like Apple performing so well year after year. say APPL increases by 10% by June 2025. 3 months before my expiry. Which again is not for Apple is not crazy.
Even with Price decay. I am confused because this makes too much sense to me but I also know I am a fucking noob and there has to be a catch other than the price dropping below 216. What am I not seeing?
Edit: Thanks everyone there is some great points down in the comments! I will prob not make this play untill later this year. there are some good points about overalls market IV being high and some great advice about market behaviour in months like aug and sept. I intend on doing more research and probably will try this on a cheeper stock. Yes I understand the downsides and applying stop losses.

Risk with Put Credit Spreads?
|
Hello options community,
I am interested in selling long term 9-12months Put credit spreads which are Out of Money. As an example APPL is trading at $210, I want the spread to be 220 Buy 230 sell (both Puts)
Since it’s OTM, I get higher potential Profit for lower total risk, eg: 60:40 P/L ratio.
Are there any drawbacks to this? Probability of any leg getting exercised is also low as there is ton of extrinsic value involved here due to long term exp.
My thesis/assumption is that we are in bull market. Also, I may exit position early if I have more than 25% in profit on position.

Apple 3/25 250C

I believed in the iPhone upgrade supercycle but with everything’s that’s been happening, is it better to hold or switch to something that might be more profitable in the long run. It seems like everything’s on sale right now.
Down like 30% rn 🤡

5/5 Profitable on Every Company Played Earning's
|
I've been logging my progress using double calendars each week on the sub. This week I was profitable on every company I played for earning's (ON, Meta, Amzn, Aapl, Dkng). This is not an accident or luck, it's becoming increasingly more consistent as gain more experience with double calendars.
I'm just a hair from 30% on the year, the market has experienced its worst drawdown and am totally unexposed and still profiting it's an amazing and beautiful thing to see.
* Three weeks ago was very profitable with NFLX $650/$715 double calendar and TSM $165/$185/$205 triple calendar. However, bought NVDA shares impulsively at the top, options gains covered the losses cutting even. Vowed to never have undefined risk again. Only traded options since, no shares anymore and won't buy shares unless it's an ETF. Am ready to go deep on SMH after see fear and greed index tank to 20's.
* Two weeks ago was profitable on 3/4 companies played through earning's. Made post detailing the mistake made, bought triple calendar $170 (1), $185 (3), $200 (4) on Google but did not create a neutral structure. There was not enough downside protection, only had (1) put calendar compared to (4) calendars OTM and (3) ATM. Vowed to always play the market neutrally and prepare equally for the downside always.
This week was profitable on every company or 5/5, last week going 3/4 with the Google mistake being something recognized early, but didn't correct and would've been very profitable going 4/4 had bought more put calendars and offset the ATM and OTM call calendars.
This week played (ON $64/$76), (Meta $455/$510), (Apple $205/$217.5/$230), (Amzn $165/$180/$195), (Dkng $32/$40)
Most of the contracts like to close before earning's to secure profit, offset the cost/risk of what I do hold through earning's. I also use the ATM calendar as the new bottom or top if price has moved too aggressively. For example, I had meta $400/$455/$500 originally but the price over few days ran from $455 to $475. So right before earning's I closed the $400/$500. I used the $455 as the floor, opening the $510 as the new top so $455/$510 instead to carry through earning's. Have to adapt.
Imo nobody can become consistently profitable without playing to the upside and downside, this is why neutral structures like double calendars are so effective, more-so during earning's when high IV environment gives massive premiums offsetting the cost of the calls/puts so playing direction on a mulligan. The ultimate Theta play imo.
(Next week have LLY $730/$795/$870, DDOG $90/$125, ELF $135/$185, - Need companies to report later in the week so can close before earning's, right before expiration, giving Theta time to burn up to the last moment possible, giving the market no time to react to earning's; the following days always dangerous. For example, Meta much harder to play than Amazon, difference of reporting Wednesday close vs. Thursday close. If wanted to be a gambler could hold all my contracts through earning's. but I want to sell and keep what I hold through basically for free from the profit of closing before, which really has cost me profit but am more concerned about averting risk.)
