Pre Market FEB 5, 2025

All three major indexes are red this morning but there is green out there, and we own some of it

GOOG, smack down mode at the moment, down by over 7% here in the Pre
AMD, while not one of ours missed earnings yesterday also and is doing it’s fair share to drag down the markets
AAPL and AMZN are both down, 2.5 and 1.5% respectively

In the past I shared with you that I have a wood pile collection that would make Paul Bunyan proud… Well yesterday I “scored” a Bradford Pear… Not for profit but for my own personal use at my home… Out there with my biggest and strongest Stihl saw ( I have a few ) with it’s freshly sharpened chain and all tuned up, I got to work
Bradford Pears are tufffffffff…. They don’t produce edible fruit but are beautiful flowering shade trees. They're water filled, and a hard wood that is no joke… Sawing is one thing, hoisting those giant back breakers into the back of my truck is another…. It can wear you down, if you let it….
Woke up today a little tired, a little sore, but got moving around and about and back to life again and ready to roll

That’s going to be the market today…
GOOG is bad, for now
AAPL and AMZN can do better
But every where else we’re seeing green

MMM, remember MMM? It beat earnings a few weeks ago and we here at theoptionscoach.net said it would be “one to grow on”
Well right now it appears to be doing just that
I haven’t mentioned it much lately as the Options weren’t growing, well yesterday someone must of watered them an put them out in the sunlight because they are sprouting up….
“Sprouting Up”…lol… SFM???? Now up above $166.00 😁 😁 😁 

Okay back to MMM 🙂

Bull Call Spreads
150 / 155 are 2.05 at the MID
150 / 160 are 4.25 at the MID
We’re looking more at the 150 / 160 today, the 150 / 155’s aren’t bad at all
The 150 / 160’s offer a slightly bigger bang for the buck
Say it with me “In ~ Options ~ Pricing ~ Is ~ Everything”

Blind Calls
150’s are 6.20 at the MID
155’s are 4.15 at the MID
The 155’s are noticeably stronger, pricing is fair for both Strikes

If you live in an area where the ice is hitting today please please please be safe

S+P 500 Support is at 5,950
Time to grind
