Pre Market DEC 5, 2025

Good morning traders, how are you today?
The markets are up here in the Pre
$DJI ( ▼ 0.51% )  
$SPY ( ▼ 1.08% )  
$QQQ ( ▼ 1.91% )  
$IWM ( ▼ 1.53% )  

How did you rest last night? Well I hope
Sleep is one thing that some can never get enough of, and many battle getting good sleep. In the day and age of self driving cars scientists still can’t figure why it is the body relies on sleep. Yes to repair muscle, brain growth and everything else, but why?
Did you know how you sleep matters?
If your 25, this may not be as big, but if your 65, ummmmmm……………….
Sleeping on one side only for longer than 3 years increases your chances of kidney stones on that side by 65-80%
And if your a person “of age” your cardiologist would absolutely love for you to not sleep on your stomach
Pressure, both of those positions place pressure on the internal organs
And if one / third of our time is spent sleeping, well you can figure the rest

$GE ( ▲ 3.95% )  Do you remember Wednesday morning when I said this?::::::::::::::::
Today we’re going to take A SMALL STARTER position in $GE ( ▲ 1.17% ) here
It’s not ready for Calendar Spreads as I mentioned yesterday
But we’re willing to look at some Bull Call Spread’s for now

And then I said this:::::
GE Bull Call Spreads for DEC 26, 2026
Buy the 290 Call
Sell the 295 Call
The MID is 2.30
Current price is $289.81
What we would like to see is GE get up above $290.00 and rising to enter this trade

Well Wednesday we never got our fill as GE slid slightly
But that was then, Thursday became “now” as GE closed up at $292.00

You may recall that occurred last week with $GOOG ( ▼ 1.01% ) also
Just bc we don’t get our fill on Day1 doesn’t mean that the trade can’t be employed a day or two later if we get the price we’re after

Pressure, even though the market keeps making new highs, every pop is then sold off, this market is under constant pressure. Using strategies like Bull Call Spreads and Strangles are still in order

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

GE Bull Call Spreads for JAN 16, 2026
Buy the 290 Call
Sell the 300 Call
The MID is 4.88
This is a more lucrative play than the ones we entered yesterday after GE went up above $290.00
We are going out extra time to offer us “cushion” with any pullbacks since our strike prices are wider on this one
Current price is $292.00 even

GOOG Strangle for DEC 26, 2025
Buy the 315 Put
Buy the 320 Call
The MID is 15.43
This one I’m on the fence with, we could switch back to Bull Call Spreads on it soon
Current price is $318.89
If it goes up close to or above $320.00 before entry it’s then void
A trader could still take the trade but if its at $320.00’sh Buy the 325 Call instead of the 320. The MID would change to the traders favor

It’s time to grind
