Pre Market MAY 1, 2025

Stocks are green in the Pre Market today

How was your night last night? Have any fun? I did, this is one for the books..
As you may recall as a hobby / passion I weld metal sculpture art
And the metal I use is always repurposed, the older and rustier the better
Well last night a guy saw me online, emailed me, and sent a pic of the scrap he had
I thought that it had to be a stock photo from online
No one has that kind of stuff just laying around
Turned out he owns a machine shop, and what he gave me was no less than about 500lbs of 3 to 5 inch old rusty metal gears.. #SCOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁 😁 
I’m going to put all of it to use soon, very very soon
What was old will be new again…….

Stocks that were beaten down are now gaining new life
With META and MSFT both beating earnings yesterday and GOOG last week there is some glimmers of hope shining through
Yesterday I mistakenly reported that AMZN had beat, it didn’t, it reports after the bell today along with AAPL…. AMZN’s jump yesterday was news related

MSTR reports today AH also. We are still riding multiple plays here all with downside protection

There is a lot going on here right now, and unless we get another new tariff tweet this could be good, lets get going

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
