Pre Market OCT 30, 2025

Good morning traders, how are you today?
$META ( ▲ 0.03% ) missed yesterday but we’re doing well 😉 
$DJI ( ▼ 0.16% )  
$SPY ( ▲ 0.05% )  
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.45% )  
$IWM ( ▼ 0.85% )  

On Monday we had this to say about META::::::::
META is give or take $750.00 right now, Strangles are going to be pricey but by far the safest way to generate gains here
Strangles for NOV 21, 2025
Buy the 740 Put
Buy the 760 Call
The MID is 58.70

If you took those Strangles you should wake up to a big gain this morning
That is the beauty of Strangles, we do not care which direction a stock goes, up or down, we just want movement, and we got it. For anyone that took those congrats to you trader

We also mentioned Bull Call Spreads but those were as a second choice
Those will most likely open down today
1st: Losses were capped by doing those spreads and not simply Blind Calls
2nd: There’s still 3.5 weeks left until they expire

This is a 3 year chart with weekly bars
That long blue horizontal line is where META is at after earnings
There’s no guarantee that it will bounce from there, but it’s what we’re watching for

$GOOG ( ▲ 2.51% ) beat and they beat big, congrats to all the longs on it

$JPM ( ▲ 0.05% ) you may recall that I didn’t get filled with Bull Call Spreads on it but did take some Blind Calls. The stock is up only 1.70% on the week, but at one point yesterday my Calls were up over 51%.. With the pullback they’re now only up 30%
I share this to show how fickle Options can be. We don’t have to be in big fast movers to get great gains. Think about that one. The stock is up 1.70% and I’m up 30%??? And I didn’t get in for the entire 1.70%, I got in after it was already up about 0.35%
For now I’m keeping this position as it looks like it has room to grow before a pullback
