Pre Market OCT 22, 2025

Good morning traders how are you today?
The markets are flat here in the Pre
$DJI ( 0.0% )  
$SPY ( 0.0% )  
$QQQ ( 0.0% )  
$IWM ( 0.0% )  

Today is “ $TSLA ( 0.0% ) Day “ We all know it reports earnings after the bell
Monday we highlighted a couple of different trades on it and we’re sticking with them for the moment

$GE ( 0.0% ) grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, 😠 😠 yesterday, beating or blessing? Maybe its just me but I’m never a fan of when a stock beats earnings, gives good forward guidance, advances after the announcement, then retreats because the general market stalled. That’s not a sign of a true leader. Lets talk about that. GE was up 4% at one point, but closed at only 1.3%
Profit taking is natural, nothing to fret about, but that’s a big drop percentage wise

$GM ( 0.0% ) on the other hand opened strong and closed stronger
Lets take a look

We love how GM opened up 9.2% then closed +14.8%
That means new buyers stepped in
You can tell by the chart that GE is prone to steady swings, up and down
The ATR on it is roughly 2.3% or about $1.20
A pullback isn’t unthinkable, there hasn’t been any profit taking on it yet
IFFFFFFFFFFF GM stays above $67.00 today, here’s what we’re looking at

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

Bull Call Spreads for NOV 21, 2025
Buy the 67 Call
Sell the 70 Call
The MID is 1.19
We’re simply dipping our tows into the water here as we wait to see if profit taking comes in

I live in a pretty normal, middle class neighborhood
Nothing special except for my neighbors
They’re great people, and I know all of them
Yesterday a group of the younger kids congregated in my front yard
They were all facing my house, when I went outside to see what was going on this is what they said::::
“There’s a big giant Care Bear that went under your porch!!” 😆 
Then another one said “Nooooo, it’s a Kuala Bear”
Nope, it’s neither, it’s “Bob the groundhog”
He hangs out here sometimes and then goes to my buddies 3 streets over
He’s an older dude, doesn’t destroy anything so I just let him be, and he’s kind of a thing
What ever you do today, I hope that you do it with the excitement and enthusiasm as a group of kids discovering a Care Bear, or a Kuala Bear, in Kansas 😉 

Its time to grind
