Pre Market FEB 12, 2025

Stocks are on hold in the Pre Market today
Investors are waiting on the CPI report

There’s a stock newsletter that I check out sometimes as I know the top 2 guys that run it, ( they have like 10 ) good guys, great investors. Well last night they had a piece on WMT
They, like many others, many many others, are just now starting to take note of WMT
All of us here at theoptionscoach.net have been in tune with it for a very long time now

WMT on the chart says pullback is due
It’s kind of like that old saying “Follow your head or your heart?”
The Options pricing is good, but could it be a “Bull Trap?” where they want to suck us in before a rug pull and it retraces before it continues north?

WMT
If an investor was very very bullish and felt “Froggy” and was willing to take some extra risk ( In Options the higher the risk the greater the reward ) this is interesting:::
FEB 21, 2025
Blind Calls
110’s are 0.59
The O.I. on that is over 22K, some of those were sold as hedges, many were not……
Either way, someone stands to make some serious coin there
In the past I’ve talked about why we don’t buy cheap stocks, it’s because you have to buy lots of shares to make any real money and most wont do that
These Options here are very very cheap, but some one, or some “ones” has been buying lotzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz of them……. This is WMT not NVDA….. 22K O.I. ??????

Still in FEB but with downside protection

WE do not buy when a stock is red or on down days
Set STOPS and HONOR THEM

S+P 500 Support is stuck at 6,050 blah blah……At least it’s still above 6,000
Not that long ago I mentioned Selling Premium
If the S+P stays stuck we will add that in
Time to grind
