Weekly Recap DEC 14, 2025

Hey there traders how was your weekend?
I went out with one of my hiking groups yesterday morning, it was 24 degrees when we hit the trail. One thing that I’m certain of in life is that there are 2 kinds of people, those that make things happen, and those that make excuses….
The markets Friday then the Weekly
$DJI ( ▼ 2.38% ) Weekly +1.05%
$SPY ( ▼ 1.08% ) Weekly -0.50%
$QQQ ( ▼ 1.91% ) Weekly -1.90%
$IWM ( ▼ 1.53% ) Weekly +1.23%

There’s a lot to unpack this week
$AMZN ( ▼ 1.78% ) not doing too much here
$GE ( ▲ 3.95% ) boom shakalaka……..What a recovery on Friday
$GOOG ( ▼ 1.01% ) we’re not losing faith here, it’s been sideways for about 2 weeks and is now sitting on the 20 Day EMA.. Any moves back into tech and GOOG could see a bounce at this level
$JPM ( ▲ 0.36% )  😁 😁 😁 what a week… We were right place, right time… 😁 😁 😁 
$META ( ▼ 1.3% ) “Insane in the membrane” Remember that one from 19 Dickety Two?
It had a GIANT spike up Friday only to retreat back to its base, and then closed down for the week. Traders dream / investors nightmare
$NVDA ( ▼ 3.27% ) I’m not scarrrrred, 🙃 right now it’s at the bottom of it’s box, it’s also sitting on the 20 Day EMA… Like GOOG if we get money rotating back into tech NVDA could see a sweet bounce like we had with JPM this week
$ORCL ( ▼ 4.47% ) we’ll talk in a minute
$TSLA ( ▲ 2.7% ) this is for traders right now / investors not so much
$WMT ( ▲ 1.23% ) keeps chugging along

Lets talk::::::::::::::::::::
JPM, tired of me mentioning it yet?? If you are then your not asking yourself the right questions
Remember how I said that I could write a White Paper on this trade? I meant that
We bought in at $301, it closed above $318 in 3 days
The Options pricing on it was a free gift
Deltas rewarded us by entering with lowered premiums
Theta never even had a chance to get us as we maxed out then went long
Gamma, don’t get me started on JPM’s Gamma, we busted the “Call Wall” wide open
Right now we’re watching for any fresh entries

ORCL we got in and out… #Fassttt… Friday morning I said this:::
We’re going to play a “Wild Card” here
$ORCL ( ▼ 4.47% )   we’re going with Strangles
We DO NOT CARE which direction it moves
We ONLY WANT movement
The BIGGER THE BETTER

We got our big move Friday, and it paid off within the first hour of trading
My profit on that one was $412.00 per contract

TSLA if we looked up the definition of “Whip Saw” this one is it
As I said above, right now this one is for traders
And on Friday it was all over the map
At the EOD it made one last push, I entered with Bull Call Spreads that paid out, and we’ll be looking at some fresh ones again soon

Christmas is here, the holidays are here
None of us could get out of 2024 fast enough, we all waited for 2025 like it was a new bike on Christmas morning. Until after the New Year I won’t be around as much ( some, but not as much ) I’m going to take some time and enjoy life. One thing I have planned is to go “Walk up a little hill” 😉 
Do you know one trait all successful traders share?
They don’t do it for the money, they do it for the Freedom, the money then follows.
Freedom is the entire reason I began trading
One thing I’m not a fan of is people that work until the day they die if they don’t have too
Life is short, time is precious, walk out in nature, read good books, eat better, lift heavy things, stretttttttttttch and just move more.
 Movement and nature are natural medicines……..
Reduce pharmaceuticals every chance you can, visit Naturopaths not just pill pushing MD’s…
Reduce plastics, ( especially men / testosterone levels ) use glass containers, drinkware and ceramic anytime you can
 And good gawwwddd almighteeeeee, please please, pleeeeeezzzz get rid or your “non stick” pans, those can cause more health issues than we can count. Not to mention that they’re “testosterone killers” for men
You’ll live longer, healthier and better if you do those
And that my trader friends, is the greatest gift that we can give to our people, at Christmas, or at anytime 🎅  🎅  🎅
