Weekly Recap SEPT 28, 2025

Hello Traders,

How was your weekend? Did you get outside in nature and walk?
And did you know that Chuck Norris turned 85 this year? Yes he did…
As much as we all loved Bruce Lee, Bruce wasn’t qualified to fight Chuck….

Mr. Norris won 6 consecutive Middleweight championship titles, and in 1969 he won the coveted “Triple Crown”
Bruce on the other hand was great, but not a “get in the ring and slug it out” kind of fighter
Hard to believe, because Bruce Lee was insanely fast, and Hollywood loved him
But Chuck Norris was a true fighter

The stock market felt like a slugfest this week

The indexes looked like this on Friday, and then what they did for the week
$DJI ( ▲ 0.65% ) Weekly / FLATTTT
$SPY ( ▲ 0.57% ) Weekly / -0.20%
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.41% ) Weekly / -0.47%

Bulls / Bears, back and forth, total slugfest
This weeks Heat Map isn’t pretty
It affected the One Month adversely
The Three Month is still green , but less so than last week
I’d encourage you to take a look at the 3 month

We’ll be starting the month of October this week
Historically many stocks start to perk up in OCT, but as we’ve been sharing its NOV that stocks are in love with
$GE ( ▼ 0.74% ) is one like that, okay in OCT, really good in NOV
And lets not forget $TSLA ( ▲ 4.02% )  

$SFM ( ▼ 1.33% ) wowwww, this is NOT a victory lap or “told you so” this is the math does not lie
When I shared a few weeks ago about our very dear old friend SFM ( if your new here welcome, in the past we made a lot of money with this one ) I told you that I had a price target of $125.00…… That was when others were saying Buy Buy Buy at $150.00…. Ouch, today it’s in the $109’s
The reason I bring that up is it’s known to have an okay OCT but FANTASTIC NOV’s

One that doesn’t typically do well in OCT is $META ( ▼ 0.69% ) It closed down on the week by -4.4%
$JPM ( ▲ 0.83% ) has been a friend of ours for a long while now, in OCT it has a record of averaging 7% returns during the past 5 years
$COP ( ▲ 1.73% ) is another one that likes OCT
There’s no guarantees with any of those, those are all historical readings

On Thursday we here at theoptionscoach.net took that $NVDA ( ▲ 0.28% ) trade using our Strangle strategy. It paid off for us, if the market remains volatile this week we’ll be utilizing Strangles, it we get some clearer direction to the north side we’ll go back to Bull Call Spreads and some Long Calls

This week will not only be the start of a new month
It will also be the start of the final quarter of the year
We’re only 4 weeks away from earnings season

We won’t know if this “slugfest” will continue until tomorrow
And we need some clarity before placing any new trades
Until then you know the deal, don’t allow your trades to turn into investments
