Pre Market APR 30, 2025

Stocks are slightly “reddish” in the Pre Market today

CAT just beat earnings, we like it 😁 

Stuff::: Are you like me and in your garage, maybe your shed, you keep stuff “Just in case?”
Years ago I had a buddy, he was older than me, great man, cool funny dude…
A smart persons person for sure, for “fun” he studied International Monetary Policies….. Okayyyyy lol… Was a military Veteran, had like 10 or 12 grandkids always stopping by so that he could work on their cars… He was in his mid 70’s and still turning wrenches and doing 8 mile hikes…. One seriously tuff older dude…
Well time marches on, as my friend got older he shared with me something he had of wish he had done different in life, he talked about “Stuff”

How he had kept things that he would never use but kept them just in case he would sometime… But how most of the time the only thing that stuff did was get in his way….
Knowing what to keep and what to throw out can be a task at times

Stocks can be like “Stuff” we can have 30, 40, even 100s on our Watch List
We don’t. Right now the stocks that I refer to as “Our friends” are what we’re utilizing
The purpose isn’t always the stock itself, but the Options pricing on them. Those two need to line up together before they become a friend of ours

CAT has been a friend of ours for a long time
The Options prices are going to change after the market opens today ( earnings beat ) so I can’t tell you the MID. You will see the MID on your platform

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
