Wild day in the markets today, lots of up / down / whippp / sawww

$DJI ( ▼ 0.27% )  
$SPY ( ▼ 0.14% )  
$QQQ ( ▼ 0.09% )  

One of you reached out to me this week, it was to A: Thank me, B: To encourage me
To that I say “Thank You”
When I share stories like I do it’s because it’s a part of my personality
I love people, and I love life
And my hope is that I illustrate it enough to shine through, so if others are struggling, that they know we’ve all been there, they’re not alone, and it’s okay to be different, it truly is

Trading / investing reflects life. I promise you, as sure as the grass is green and the sky is blue, I promise you

Last night I watched an interview with a guy that had been a floor trader, super successful trader, and in my opinion and that of many others listening to that one hour interview, it should be a must see for all people before ever being able to open a brokerage acct
He talked about the highs and the lows of trading, how he started as a “floor runner” at an exchange right out of college. And after one year he was in therapy from the job
He stuck with it and went on to amass a fortune, had good years, had down times, and worst of all like many humans do, he thought the good times would go on forever
He learned the hard way that they don’t
But he also learned how to survive, to live to trade another day

FED Day is tomorrow at 2pm EST J-Pow speaks
The markets are kind of on hold for this
Will it cut rates?
If so how much?
0.25%?
Or the much dreamed about 0.50%?
IFFFFFFFFFFF The FED cuts rates by half a percent there’s no telling how fast the markets could jump
We don’t know what the FED’s going to do until we know

Today I’m not going to highlight any charts, they are pretty much the same as we’ve looked at the past few days all with 3 year time frames
But what I’m going to do is go over some stocks that are really showing strength
And share with you where that strength is in the way of Options

A short time ago I talked about our long time friend $SFM ( ▼ 2.61% ) and how I had a price target it on it of $125.00 from back at $150.00
This isn’t a victory lap, this is say doing this is not easy, we don’t know where a stock will go, flip a quarter. But Options are not stocks
Stocks are about possibilities
Options are about mathematical probabilities

These are all blind, unprotected, everything I share here today is Blind Calls only
And I would NOT EVEN CONSIDER entering any new trades tomorrow until after the FED speaks. If your an active trader that can monitor the markets that’s one thing, but most aren’t

$META ( ▲ 1.87% ) broke $780.00 today for a brief minute and looks like it has room to run
Going out one month the OCT 17, 2025’s hold a O.I. of over 6.8K at the 800 strike
The 775 Strike ( which I added today ) have a O.I. of 3.3K
The NOV 21, 2025 800,s with a O.I. of 2.9K

$TSLA ( ▲ 2.82% ) wow, pow and just kapow….
OCT 17, 2025 is interesting
The 420 strike has an O.I. of 6.8K
The 430 strike holds 3.9K
The 440 strike holds 4.1K
The 450’s cannot be left out coming in at 9.7K
The Put side of those 450’s has 766
Investors like the 450 Calls with their affordability but some of them are most likely being used as hedges as well

Going out to NOV all strikes remain pretty consistent until you reach the 460
That’s where the markets like it for NOV 21, 2025 clearing over 8.5K in O.I.
The only ones to come close for NOV are the 450’s at 4.2K

$GE ( ▲ 2.16% ) long time friend of ours from back on Day #1
GE is the very first stock that I ever bought on my own, way back in JUN of 2008
Yesterday it hit a new ATH
Today it did so again, only with conviction, So far it’s already up 4% on the week
The OCT 17, 2025’s are attractive for the 290 and 300 Strike both
290 has an O.I. of 4.1K
300’s is over 2.6K

The markets really like the NOV 20, 2025’s at the 300
O.I. there is up over 5.3K
GE is a getting little extended here, a pullback wouldn’t be unthinkable

Yesterday I spoke about $RDDT ( ▲ 1.15% ) it’s just getting started
$GOOG ( ▼ 0.14% ) and $JPM ( ▲ 0.09% ) both still showing no signs of slowing down
JPM could be affected by tomorrows rate decision
Again I would NOT enter any new positions until after the FED speaks

We lost a legend today
