Weekly Recap FEB 9, 2025

It’s here!!! It’s here!!

“The Big Game” is only a few hours away and “Pat, The Great One, Mahomes” along with his BFF “Killa Trav” will soon be crowned “The Greatest of all Time” after they pull off what has never been done before, a 3Peat of Super Big Game victories

Have you heard the people that say the Chiefs games are “rigged?” Well I bet that there’s still time for them to call Vegas and place their “sure thing bet”

Let me ask you something:
Not just in football, but in any sporting event, at the end of the game who is it that wins?
The team that scores the most points of course
If the Smiths played the Jones’s and the Smiths scored 100 points
Then the Jones’s only scored 50 points, who won?
Do they ever say “Well the Jones team scored less points but we heard they worked out harder on Tuesday and they are really nice guys, so we are reversing it and giving the “W” to them”
No, you will never hear that in your life

Stock / Options Investing is the EXACT SAME WAY

At the end of the day, price is the only thing that matters, nothing else, the price action only, you either made money, or you did not, there is no “well my stock blah blah blah”

Our current list of stocks and a few “old friends” were all very active this week. It seems that the number 3 had a reoccurring theme too

AAPL -3.55%
AMZN -3.59%
CAT -2.04% ( we have CAT back in our sights and may be re-entering soon)
COST +6.64% Helllooooooooooo……
GE +0.84 ( this one is showing to be a slow but sure “creeper” north )
GOOG -8.98% ( one concession is it found support at the 20 EMA at the Weekly)
JPM +3.18%
META +3.68%
MMM -1.53%
NVDA +8.14% ( recovery in full effect, we highlighted it this week )
SFM +6.08% ( what what 😁 )
SN 😁 +1.81%
WMT +3.05%

Notice anything?
Each of those stocks that closed in positive territory for the week all made fresh ATH’s
They didn’t all close at their highs, but they made them, how cool is that?

WMT, we captured our current profits on it Friday with it’s down turn
The Weekly chart looks great, the Daily chart got spooked, we may regret that tomorrow but we will also be able to re-enter with a good price after this drawdown
Long term we are very bullish on WMT
Short term it’s showing a bigger pullback could be in the works

META, c’monnnnn lets go already!!!!!!
For day traders this one can be a money maker in a big way
For investors patience is going to have to prove key
This week, on 3 different days, META bounced up and down / back and forth
I took the plays that were highlighted here in theoptionscoach.net this week on it and profited well, I also exited 50% of them due to the pullbacks
Had I of held those it looks like there wouldn’t of been any money lost, but then it becomes a loss of what? “Time” and anytime that we lose “Time,” we actually are losing money… Stocks are either making money, or they are not
META has been a friend of ours for a long while and we continue to like it here with a nearer term price target of $740.00….. After that $750.00 goes into sight
META will need to hold above $720.00 first, on Thursday it rose up above $723.00 before retracing

One of our old friends is back in play as Options activity is increasing here as its price is moving north

COST had a big move out of it’s box, a pullback wouldn’t be unthinkable
We don’t buy when a stock is red
Should this move hold this is what we’re looking at:

COST
MAR 21, 2025
Bull Call Spreads
1010 / 1020 are 6.78 at the MID
Blind Calls ( Higher risk here )
1100’s are 16.70 at the MID
I see us transitioning to the APR 17, 2025’s very soon

The tariffs and reports of more possible tariffs are making it hard for this market to advance. Even stocks that are beating earnings are being held back by the lack of moves in the market.

One of our "better qualities” if you will is that we invest into strength

This Spring there are going to be some guys coming here to my house, out in my backyard actually, all of them are former NFL players
For fun, what they're going to do is have a little “strength contest” with some of the “stuff” that I welded / built

Stocks, just like strongmen contests, go to the strongest
It should be that obvious to everyone
For some, it’s not

My hope is that if you’re a football fan that you get to enjoy “The Big Game” tonight with family and friends
And if your not, that you still enjoy your night

The Options Coach


Look at AMZN on the 3 month
Look at JPM on the 1 month
Look at META on the 3 month
Then look at WMT on the 3 month
Timing???
