Monday Morning Mayhem

Hey traders, how are you today?
If your new here welcome
The markets are doing what we expected with the war in IRAN

Scientists are telling us that there are 2 groups of “older folks” right now ( over the age of 65 ) Hey I’m only 60 so don’t count yet!!!! lol….
Those that will make it to 73 -75
And those that will make it to 85-87
They’re saying this is what will make or break them:
At what age did they start to get healthy? How many meds do they need after the age of 65?
And the stronger your legs are ( they hold us up ) the better your chances of living longer
Not did they start at 65 ( it’s better late than never ) but when did they start?
Are you familiar with “Real Age”? It tells the difference in what your Biological age is VS your calendar born age. If the real age is higher than the calendar age is, that’s not good

Recently I came across this married couple, both are 85…. Eighty Five years young……
They swim.. It’s said older folks that swim 3- 5 days a week have far less chronic pains. Most community centers have indoor pools ( does a hot tub count???? 😁 )
So back to “Mr 85” He says this: “The best doctor is the one you don’t need to visit”
Meaning be ahead of the game and not let the game take you out

If you’ve been following your Options Chains the past few weeks you already know that Premiums have adjusted to our favor. A lot of it came from stocks being post earnings. Some of it was from pullbacks. Right now we are looking at having a chance to “get ahead of the game” with todays pullback. We don’t know if $NVDA ( ▲ 2.19% ) will continue to rise from here, we don’t. But what we do know is that the Premiums are more digestible than they were just one week ago. We also know that the market volatility is working for us with this one. In the long term we are Bullish on NVDA. But for the here and now we’re going to make lemonade out of some lemons

With Strangles WE NEED MOVEMENT< UP / Down / EITHER WAY DOESN’T MATTER, BUT IT NEEDS TO MOVE AND NOT STAY STUCK OR WE LOSE OUR PREMIUMS PAID

Right now the price of NVDA is $181.00 . Don’t buy if price isn’t within the 177-183.5 range ( anything out of that range this MID price wouldn’t work as well


For APR 2, 2026
Buy the 175 Put
Buy the 185 Call
The MID price is 11.18

It’s time to grind
