Pre Market Special, OCT 8, 2025

Good morning traders, how are you today?

$QQQ ( ▼ 0.53% )  
$IWM ( ▼ 1.07% )  

One of the key tenants of theoptionscoach.net is that we buy stocks / options on strength. We know that strength typically creates more strength where as weakness creates more weakness. If you’ve been here a while its been a minute since I’ve said that one huh??? lol…. 🙃 

There’s the strength challenge going around on the internet right now
Sylvester Stallone at the ripe age of 79 just did it
He’s 79 and still gettin it, who wants to try it?
The challenge goes like this:
You take two 45lb plates
Grab one by your fingers in each hand while you’re down on your knees
You have to lift the plates off the floor BEFORE you stand up
Last night I tried it, got the plates off the ground no problem, stood up part way, gonna work on it some more 😁

Yesterday the market saw some serious selling in some areas, and to be honest, it was about time, we need balance. But it also saw some pockets of strength, and these are a few of the names that I found while scanning last night ( after I tried to rip my fingers off with the death grip…. lol….. )

$GE ( ▲ 1.18% ) I know, I know, we already own it, but it’s growing
$EL ( ▲ 4.53% )  
$KR ( ▲ 3.21% ) its in a downtrend, but looks to be stabilizing here, but looks can be deceiving
$ATO ( ▲ 0.92% )  
$SR ( ▲ 1.9% ) we need to look for a pullback here, big or small, it’s due

Seeing a theme? All of those stocks had a good day yesterday when many others didn’t
That’s strength
