Back in the early 80’s “Only the best and greatest decade of all time EVER!!!! “
Punk Rock hit the scene, and “The Clash” had an incredibly huuuuge hit titled
“Should I stay or should I go”
It was about being at the crossroads of a relationship, stay or breakup, it was seriously upbeat though and became a anthem for a new era and genre of rock

Yesterday when the president said he was giving IRAN an additional 10 days many thought the market would be relieved….
The markets however weren’t impressed, not at all

Indecision is the #1 thing the market hates the most
It wants resolution

So, “Should we stay of should we go?”
As Options traders / investors we have the ability to capitalize from the indecisiveness
Not something many others can say

Right now, many stocks are back at their 50 Day Moving Averages
We like that, we like that a lot
$CAT ( ▼ 0.82% ) is there

$GE ( ▼ 0.25% ) Our oldest and bestest friend……
Do you see that Big Blue Line? We’re fans

Here at theoptionscoach.net
We don’t chase stocks
We don’t go long if a stock is red
We buy at the MID price or better
We set STOPS and HONOR them

Right now there’s a lot of market uncertainty, many believe that unless we reverse course and bring the troops home this will continue, it’s hard to disagree

Movement, WE DO NOT CARE which direction GE goes, we only want movement

GE Strangles for APR 17, 2026
Buy the 280 Put
Buy the 285 Call
Current price is $283.84
If price goes above 284.50 or below 201.00 this trade would be VOID for entry
That is a tight spread, very very tight
The MID price is 19.27

IFFFFF price moves UPPPPPP but stays below 286.50 then we could look at
Same Date
Buy the 280 Put
Buy the 290 Call
The MID is then 16.88

Last night I took “Roscoe” out for a after dinner walk
We walked for 81 minutes, Yepppp Eighty One with that big 80lb furball
Tonight might be shorter and earlier as I have an event to attend
Movement, our bodies were built for it
Get up, get out and get going this weekend if you can
Go out and hike in nature
Your body will thank you for it
