Pre Market NOV 19, 2025

Good morning traders, how are you today?
The markets are green here in the Pre
$DJI ( ▼ 1.07% )  
$SPY ( ▼ 0.84% )  
$QQQ ( ▼ 1.22% )  
$IWM ( ▲ 0.31% )  

What kind of music do you like? My tastes are all over the place
One of my Top 10 though has to be Bruce Springsteen AKA “The Boss”
Insiders say 2 things about him:::
1st::: He’s one of the all time highest paying band leaders to pay his players
2nd::: They say he’s the hardest working man in music, it’s not uncommon for his live shows to go up to 3, 3.5 and some even 4 hours. That’s him and the band, not counting the warm up act

Well today’s the day, it’s $NVDA ( ▼ 2.81% ) Day, “The Boss” of all stocks
Monday we took the Strangles that were highlighted here
And we’re ready for them to get to work and pay us
All we need is movement, either direction we don’t care which
NVDA will report after the bell today, we’ll know how we did then

$JNJ ( ▲ 0.21% ) is one we have played a time or two during market volatility
I’ll be honest, we are a little late to the party to just go long here
It hasn’t had a pullback yet, not saying it can’t advance, I’m saying we’re past a proper buy point for simply going long. It hasn’t had a pullback towards the top of the box yet

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

JNJ Strangles for DEC
Buy the 190 Put
Buy the 210 Call
The MID is 2.41
I had to double check that, that’s pretty cheap for that trade
It’s at $199.68 here in the Pre

Its time to grind
