It's all about "The Map"

Stocks closed red, today, well most of them, but not all

Today started off with a “funky feel” as I shared in this mornings Pre Market report
Things didn’t improve much from there

When you look at todays Heat Map your going to see 3 stocks that I highlighted, all 3 of them are stocks within our Model Portfolio and all 3 are stocks that I personally have positions in as I have shared repeatedly

Skill? We’d like to believe it has some merit…
Luck? Maybe some of that too
Diligence probably has more to do with it than anything else
We here at theoptionscoach.net focus not on what’s “hot” but stocks that offer the greatest “POP” or “Probability OF Profit” in the way of Options….

This weeks “Snowmegeddon 2025” is winding down here in the Midwest
Everyone knows that hiking is part of what I do every week
But this week, late at night, every night, I have buttoned up, gotten out, and gone out on “Walkabout” in the snow for about an hour or more each night
Last night we had one last push, the snow fell for about another 3 inches here, and I was out in it as it did 😄 
As I was trekking up hills, down hills, back up the hills, back down the hills again and again and again, I was reminded of the “beauty of silence”

The markets are going to have those up and down days, and even seasons
But as Stock Market History has shown us for over a century now is that at the end of those hills, is often a beautiful return

We got some great returns on our trades this week
I added more to WMT today
Also added more to COST as mentioned this morning
We are currently looking at more adds for them going into next week

This Sunday night I’ll be showing with trade confirmations how those trades are doing and the trades themselves

Get outside this weekend, go for a hike, or “Walkabout”
It will feel good, I promise

Side Note:
I realize that we have spoken about this once, but we would again like to extend our deepest and sincere thoughts, well wishes and prayers to all of those affected by and battling the blazes of the L.A. Wild Fires
May Gods protection be with all of them
