It’s a well known fact that different musicians have different sounds. You can even take the exact same song, give it to different bands and get a completely separate vibe. One of the all time greats for that has to be “Knockin on Heavens Door” by Bob Dylan in 1973…
Over the years many bands covered that song, Eric Clapton, Bob Marley, Tom Petty, Dolly Parton, Warren Zevon, and even some Motown acts…
But lets be honest, it was “Guns N’ Roses” that took it and made it their own

That’s what I feel we did this week with $JPM ( ▲ 0.36% ) we took it and made it our own
When I highlighted it on Wednesday morning price was at $301’sh
Yesterday it closed at $317 and some change
That’s a 5.3% rise in 2 days on an extremely conservative stock
Right now it just knocked on $318’s door 😁 
The Bull Call Spreads that we took maxed out, and then some
I know traders that dropped the short strike, ( as mentioned yesterday ) rode the long and are now up 300%
I’ve been pretty active with it since Wednesday morning myself
This is going to be one of those trades that goes on to become a case study for educational purposes

$NVDA ( ▼ 3.27% ) is rising slowly here $TSLA ( ▲ 2.7% ) and $AMZN ( ▼ 1.78% ) are flat, and $META ( ▼ 1.3% ) is slipping again
