Monday, Big Issue

Markets closed green today
Not a bad start to summer

$DJIA ( ▼ 0.04% )  
$SPY ( ▼ 0.21% )  
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.1% )  

This morning I had a technical issue that didn’t allow me to post the days trades
It wasn’t until one hour after market open that it was resolved. I have been using the same trading platform since 2011 and have never one single time ever had that happen
Just goes to show in the markets there’s always a first for everything

I mentioned this morning that one of the three stocks I wanted to highlight today was $META ( ▼ 0.24% ) It performed like a champ, we are going to revisit that one tomorrow morning for a possible entry. We won’t chase, we are already in it… The entry we took last week performed greatly

Our other friends did this
$AMZN ( ▲ 1.68% )  
$CAT ( ▲ 0.51% )  
$GOOG ( ▲ 1.42% )  
$HD ( ▲ 0.35% )  
$JPM ( ▼ 0.3% )  
$WMT ( ▼ 1.33% )  


Long time friends $COST ( ▼ 3.46% ) and $SFM ( ▼ 1.38% ) both had good days today
These 2 screen shots are my current actual positions I have in both
This time last week I shared here at theoptionscoach.net that I was buying SFM and setting it out longer term, which I did, those 170 and 175 Call strikes are both for SEPT 19, 2025….

This is how they look right now in just one week
Had I of bought the stock I might be up about 4%, that’s all

COST is one I plan on adding more to as it grows. The current Options on it are shorter term but that is about to change
This RENKO chart is showing a potential breakout at this level, it could pullback first, but if it does we have a very well defined area of Support to gauge from. And we would be ready to capitalize off of any bounces from that area

Current holdings on COST

Not everyone can or wants to be a day trader, that is why mid term, or “Swing Trading” is so prominent. Both the SFM and the COST trade are Swing Trades> Then there is a style known as SLOMO. A trader that I knew online recently passed, and after the outpouring of love shown to him and his style I thought I would share it with all of you
This is not new to me, it’s in part what I already do, he and I had that in common

So next Tuesday JUNE 10, 2025
I’m going to host a one hour ZOOM session at 4:15 EST on this swing trade set up
The link will most likely go out on this Sunday nights Weekly Recap
