Weekly Recap SEPT 7, 2025

How was your weekend? Do anything fun? You know I’m going to ask, did you get out in nature and walk? 🚶 

One thing that sometimes stops older folks from walking is bad knees, hips, even ankles
I’m not a doctor nor am I a medical professional
But in this day and age we all have access to the same information as everyone else

About 6 weeks ago scientists in Sweden came out and announced that they created a “Hyper Gel” for people over the age of 70 with Osteoarthritis
What blew everyone away was that they are having a 93% success rate WITHIN THE FIRST 2 WEEKS of USE……. Whooaaaaaaa.. game changer for many… In Europe at least, we have the FDA and “Big Pharma” first…..

Then just this week the Germans announced their new thing, the ability to regrow the bodies own cartilage.. Meaning no more surgeries for bone on bone….. 💥 💥 💥 
This is different than Stem Cell injections ( which I’m a HUGE fan of btw )

How’s your vision? Ready? Ready? Readyyyyy???
This year, 2025, they’re coming to market ( Yes, here in the U.S. ) with eye drops that will allow people to not have to wear glasses for near vision, no joke…….

It’s coming, the future is coming, and it’s coming fast

If I ever decided to stop being an Options trader ( not gonna happen) I could always be a medical reporter, or go drive “The Wiener Mobile” 😁 I’ve heard that they both pay well…

Lets revisit my earlier statement of how we all have access to the same information
This week a trader buddy sent me 3 articles from a very well advertised advisory publication
That publication was “advising” its subscribers to buy our old friend $SFM ( ▼ 0.89% )  
They talked about how it was in oversold territory, and a great buy at this price and all the other keywords investors want to hear
Currently my own price target on SFM is $125.00
You may of noticed I’ve not mentioned it for a few weeks
That’s because we don’t call bottoms, and we certainly don’t buy when a stock is dropping south. If I’m wrong and it bounces here then great, but it’s still down from when that publication started saying to buy it at $150.00 then $148.00 and again at $145.00… Seeing a pattern there? Current price is $138.00 and some change

More information isn’t always the best practice, often times simply having the right information is what it takes to get the job done

If your new here to theoptionscoach.net thank you for joining us, let me offer you a look into how we invest
We buy on strength
We are fans of well established chart patterns, especially the box on box method
We then look at the Order Flow ( Level 2 ) and then the Options
We have a 17 point checklist where the majority of it comes from the Options activity itself
Things like the O.I. The I.V. ranking, Deltas, and whether or not a Option falls into our “Fair Value” model after that
None of the above is subjective
That’s all information that we use, and to date it has served us well
Ohhhh and we set STOPS and HONOR them too

Though SFM is a “friend” of ours, NOV is it’s strongest month each year over the past 5 years. SEPT, not so much….. I’m sure we’ll be looking at it again when the selling stops and the buying resumes. Seasonality, that’s called Seasonality…. It’s also a part of our process

SEPT is historically rough for the markets at whole, the end of it is showing some serious Options activity. There’s a lot of buying going on with SPY going into OCT, but some of the action is also most likely being used as hedges

Fall is just starting, there are many, many big name stocks that have their best months in the Fall… Especially in the month of NOV

Think $NVDA ( ▼ 2.7% ) which on average shows a return of 15% in NOV
$AAPL ( ▼ 0.04% ) typically gains 6%
And $AMZN ( ▼ 1.42% ) at 5%
Those are not guarantees, those are past performance
And they weren’t fighting tariffs either

$DJIA ( ▼ 0.32% ) Typically gains 3.1%
$SPY ( ▼ 0.29% ) 5%, and that follows the 3% on average gain for OCT
$QQQ ( ▲ 0.14% ) is the winner taking in over 6% each NOV, big tech likes the Fall months

Like I said Fall is in the air, I gotta get going, in a few hours I’ll be hosting a backyard bbq where some people are coming over to eat, hang around the bonfire, and paint / make some really cool stuff 🖼️ 🎨 

The full moon is tonight, take the family outside to see it, and tell your friends about us
The Options Coach

$GOOG ( ▲ 1.08% ) had a heck of a week… And it’s the best performer on the 3 month Heat Map
Remember me mentioning the Options this week of OCT?
