Weekly Recap DEC 7, 2025

Hey traders, how was your weekend? What did you do that was fun?
Friday night I went out with a group of friends to a big Christmas lights walk thru display, and guess what? It went through the woods at one of my hiking spots. How cool 😃

Do you chop wood? I love chopping wood. Out in my backyard is a woodpile that would make Paul Bunyan proud. I cut all of my own wood, load in it my truck, bring it home, chop it, yes with an axe still, no log splitter, and then stack it.. Ohhhh and then carry it in the house as needed

Physiologists and Kinesiologists ( real smart doctor type people ) tell us that chopping wood and physically building structures ( homes, sheds, garages ) increases men’s testosterone dramatically. Why? It’s the survival part of our DNA.. The human body recognizes strength for survival VS exercise… Exercise counts, we should all move more, but doing things like our ancestors did to survive builds greater resilience to physical deterioration. Walking in nature should be a priority. For anyone that doesn’t have the time, space or inclination to become a lumberjack, carrying stuff / actually carrying / walking with / dragging heavy objects can help by replicating what our ancestors did

That old saying “only the strong survive” is as true in the stock market as it is in life. This is the 3rd time in the past 6 weeks that I’ve said I’m just not a fan of the One Month Heat Map. And to be honest all 3 Heat Maps are looking a little “choppy”
$AMZN ( ▼ 1.78% ) back to the 50 Day SMA but lots of whip saw here
$CAT ( ▼ 4.43% ) clean, we may be revisiting this one again very soon
$GE ( ▲ 3.95% ) slipped this week but is sitting at support on the 20 Day EMA on the Weekly chart
$GOOG ( ▼ 1.01% ) is winding up tight and range bound again
$JPM ( ▲ 0.36% ) seriously good looking chart action going on, when it breaks, we’ll be ready
$META ( ▼ 1.3% ) good recovery recently but kind of in “no mans land” at the moment
$TSLA ( ▲ 2.7% ) tapping Resistance on 3 months of consolidation ( note worthy )
$WMT ( ▲ 1.23% ) one heckuva break out, could be seeing some profit taking soon before advancing more

There’s no big giant breakdown anywhere, but there’s nothing screaming “put it all on black” either. Right now stocks are acting like recreation enthusiasts. We here at theoptionscoach.net are watching for the setups that will deliver “Paul Bunyan“ results

See you in the morning
